What’s Factur-X / Chorus Pro and when do I need it?

Factur-X is the Franco-German hybrid e-invoice format (PDF/A-3 with embedded XML). Chorus Pro is the French government’s mandatory e-invoicing platform for B2G (business-to-government) transactions, already required since 2017 if you sell to public bodies.

The B2B e-invoicing rollout is phased (deadlines have shifted, current 2024-2026 schedule):

  • From 1 Sept 2026, all French companies must receive electronic invoices.
  • From 1 Sept 2026, large companies (> €50M turnover) must issue e-invoices.
  • From 1 Sept 2027, SMEs and micro-entreprises must issue e-invoices.

Magento integration: order/invoice generation must produce a Factur-X PDF (PDF/A-3 + Factur-X XML) and route through a PDP (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire), certified intermediaries that talk to Chorus Pro / PPF (Portail Public de Facturation). We integrate with PDPs like Pennylane, Esker, or Sage e-invoicing, Magento → PDP → PPF → recipient’s ERP.
