From September 1, 2026, e-invoicing becomes mandatory in France. Sendinblue SAS must transmit your invoices via a government-approved platform. To ensure this works correctly, you need to update your billing information in your Brevo account settings.
Why do I need to update my billing information?
From September 1, 2026, invoices between French businesses that are VAT-registered must be transmitted in a standardized electronic format via an approved platform.
To route your invoices correctly to your reception platform, Sendinblue SAS needs your SIREN number, your SIRET number (if applicable), and your electronic invoicing address. Without this information, you will be treated as a B2C customer: your invoices will remain available in PDF format in your Brevo account, but your company will not be able to recover VAT.
Update your billing information
To fill in your billing information in your Brevo account settings:
- Go to your Billing information page:
- Standard Brevo account: click the account dropdown and select My plan > Billing information.
- New admin account: go to My plan > Billing information.
- Classic admin account: click the account dropdown and select My plan > Billing information.
- In the E-invoicing compliance section, fill in the following fields:
- SIREN: 9-digit identifier assigned to your company by INSEE. It is required to identify your company in the e-invoicing system, in addition to your VAT number. If the field is already pre-filled, make sure the information is correct.
- SIRET: 14-digit identifier assigned to each establishment of your company. Mandatory for public entities, optional for private companies.
- Electronic invoicing address: address defined with your approved reception platform. It must start with your SIREN number and can be supplemented with a string of characters of your choice to facilitate internal routing (for example, 123456789 or 123456789_Suppliers).
- Click Confirm billing information.
Where can I find my Brevo invoices after September 1, 2026?
From September 1, 2026, the legally binding version of your invoice will be the XML file transmitted by Sendinblue SAS via the approved platforms. Your approved reception platform is required to translate it into a readable file, which you can access directly on your platform's portal or in your IT system depending on your organization.
Your invoices will remain available in PDF format in your Brevo account as duplicates only.

Yes. You can already fill in your SIREN number in your Brevo account, even if you have not yet chosen an approved reception platform or if your invoicing address is not yet active in the public invoicing platform (PPF) directory.
For everything related to choosing a platform and obtaining your electronic invoicing address, contact your accounting department or accountant. You can also visit the official impots.gouv.fr website.
If you use purchase orders, you must send your purchase order number to Brevo before the invoice is issued for it to appear on the invoice. Once an invoice is issued, its information can no longer be modified.
To send your purchase order number to Brevo ahead of your next invoice, create a ticket directly from your account.
The transmission of invoices in electronic format will begin on September 1, 2026. Invoices issued before this date remain available in PDF format in your Brevo account.
