WHY EVERY BAGISTO STORE NEEDS AN E-INVOICING SOLUTION

Electronic invoicing is now legally mandatory across Germany and the European Union for B2B transactions. Traditional paper invoices and regular PDF files are no longer legally recognized as electronic invoices for B2B commerce. If you sell to business clients or public authorities, you are required by law to provide structured, machine-readable invoices compliant with European standard EN 16931.

"EU E-Invoice Pro" brings your Bagisto 2.x store into full legal compliance within minutes. The extension seamlessly integrates into your existing checkout and order fulfillment workflow: Whenever an invoice is generated, the plugin automatically creates the compliant ZUGFeRD or XRechnung files in the background.

YOUR DATA REMAINS ON YOUR SERVER (100% ON-PREMISE):

Unlike third-party SaaS e-invoicing providers, EU E-Invoice Pro does not rely on external cloud APIs or require you to expose sensitive customer or financial data. Validation, XML creation, and PDF/A-3 embedding are executed 100% locally on your own server. This guarantees maximum data privacy, complete GDPR compliance, and zero ongoing monthly subscription costs!
