POP – European e-invoicing compliance for e-commerce
POP is an e-invoicing compliance plugin for WooCommerce, Paid Memberships Pro and Cozmos PMS. It helps European e-commerce teams generate structured XML invoices, manage invoice documents and connect their workflows to supported e-invoicing networks such as SdI, PEPPOL and KSeF.
POP focuses on the full e-invoicing lifecycle: document generation, data validation, network submission and, where enabled by the selected plan and workflow, digital signature and compliant archiving.
With POP you pay a subscription and receive a monthly allocation of API credits. A credit is the unit used to measure credit-consuming API operations, such as generating or validating XML, submitting a document to a supported network, applying digital signature or activating compliant archiving when enabled.
The principle is simple: your e-commerce can automate compliance workflows while keeping monthly usage predictable.
Supported countries and workflows
POP supports selected European e-invoicing workflows, depending on the country, endpoint, selected plan and configured integration.
Italy and San Marino
POP supports structured XML invoice generation for Italy and San Marino and, starting from the Basic plan, direct XML transmission through SdI, the Italian interchange system. Where enabled by the selected plan and workflow, POP can also support electronic signature and compliant archiving.
Belgium
POP supports structured e-invoicing workflows for Belgium, including PEPPOL transmission where enabled. Belgium introduced mandatory structured B2B e-invoicing for domestic transactions between VAT-registered businesses from January 1st, 2026. POP helps businesses manage this transition by generating structured invoices and supporting PEPPOL-based delivery according to the selected plan and workflow.
Netherlands, France, Germany and United Kingdom
POP can be used for PEPPOL-based electronic invoicing workflows in the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Regulatory obligations, timelines and accepted channels differ by jurisdiction, business type and transaction type. POP provides the technical capability to generate and route structured invoices through supported networks, while users remain responsible for verifying the requirements that apply to their specific case.
Poland
POP supports structured e-invoicing workflows for Poland through KSeF, the Polish National e-Invoicing System. KSeF is used for issuing, receiving and storing structured invoices in Poland. Mandatory adoption is being phased in by taxpayer category, and businesses operating in Poland need reliable workflows to generate and transmit structured invoice data through the national system. POP supports Polish invoicing workflows, including PDF and XML invoice generation, XML transmission to KSeF, credit note generation, PDF/XML download, invoice numbering, fiscal configuration, checkout invoicing fields, VAT number validation, advanced reporting and branded PDF invoices.

Why POP
E-commerce invoicing is becoming more structured, more local and more connected to national systems. A WooCommerce store may need to generate XML invoices, collect the right fiscal data at checkout, submit documents through SdI, PEPPOL or KSeF, manage credit notes and keep invoice files available for accounting or customer support. Handling all of this manually does not scale. Building it from scratch requires ongoing technical and compliance maintenance. POP was created to make European e-invoicing compliance easier for e-commerce teams. It helps you automate invoice generation, reduce manual work and connect your store to supported European workflows without turning compliance into a separate project. We can’t make compliance sexy, only easier.

F.A.Q.
Is the POP plugin free?
Yes. POP offers a Free plan that includes 20 API credits per month.
A credit is the unit used to measure credit-consuming API operations. Some plugin features are included without credit consumption, while operations such as XML generation, transmission, electronic signature or archiving may consume credits depending on the configured workflow.
To unlock more credits and advanced compliance features, you can activate a paid plan.
Why does POP use API credits instead of “invoices per month”?
POP is an e-invoicing compliance product. A single invoice may involve multiple compliance actions, such as:
- Generating and validating XML
- Submitting XML to a supported network such as SdI, PEPPOL or KSeF
- Applying digital signature, if enabled
- Activating compliant archiving, if enabled
Each credit-consuming operation uses API credits according to the selected plan and configured workflow.
Can I automatically send invoices to supported e-invoicing networks?
Yes. Starting from the Basic plan, POP can integrate with supported networks such as SdI, PEPPOL and KSeF, automating the transmission of structured XML invoices directly from your e-commerce workflow.
Available networks depend on the country, endpoint, selected plan and configured integration.
Is it possible to customize invoices generated with POP?
Yes. You can customize the PDF invoice template by adding your company logo and custom footer text. You can also configure invoice prefix, suffix and progressive numbering.
Does POP support invoicing for foreign customers?
Yes. POP supports EU and international customers and can route structured XML through supported networks. Regulatory requirements may vary by jurisdiction, transaction type and business case. Users should verify the specific obligations that apply to them.
Is it possible to generate Credit Notes with POP?
Yes. POP supports credit note generation where enabled by the selected plan, country and workflow.
What happens if I run out of credits?
This answer applies to the WordPress open source version of POP.
- Free plan: the service stops when credits are exhausted.
- Paid plans: overquota is allowed. Extra API operations are charged according to your plan’s overquota rate.
You can upgrade your plan at any time to increase your monthly credit quota. Please note that credit enforcement rules may differ on non-open-source platforms.
Can I use POP only to generate XML without network submission?
Yes. POP can be used for XML generation and validation without network submission.
Network submission, digital signature and compliant archiving are optional capabilities depending on your workflow, selected plan and country configuration.
Does the plugin offer customer support?
Yes. For support requests, you can contact us directly through the support link in the plugin or open a ticket from our official website.
