# Peppol in Sweden
> Activate Peppol eInvoicing for Sweden to generate invoices in the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format and issue them via the Peppol network
Spacebring supports eInvoicing via Peppol for Sweden and helps you stay compliant by:
* Automatically generating eInvoices and credit notes in the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format
* Sending them securely through the Peppol network
* Tracking network synchronization status
* Automatically validating tax ID for faster reconciliation.
Customers still receive human-readable PDF invoices by email, while Spacebring simultaneously sends the compliant machine-readable eInvoice via Peppol.
This feature is currently in beta. Its functionality and appearance are subject to change, and it may not be fully stable. We welcome your feedback at [support@spacebring.com](mailto:support@spacebring.com).
## Prerequisites
To activate Peppol eInvoicing, ensure the following two requirements are completed:
### Complete location billing details
Your location billing details and tax must be complete and accurate.
1. Go to **Location settings > General >** [**Billing details**](/docs/billing#add-billing-details) tab.
2. Fill in your location's billing details.
* Legal business name
* Address (Country (Sweden), Address line 1, City, and Postal code are mandatory)
* Tax ID (your Swedish VAT number, for example `SE123456789001`)
* Contact details (Email is mandatory).
3. Go to **Location settings** > **Billing** page > [**Taxes**](/docs/billing/taxes) tab.
* Make sure your **Tax type** is set to **VAT**.
* In the **Tax rate** field, enter the standard Swedish rate of **25%**.
* If you use [custom tax rates](/docs/billing/taxes#custom-tax-rates-for-different-products) in individual customers' subscriptions or invoices, ensure they are also valid Swedish VAT rates.
### Complete customer billing details
Each customer must also have accurate billing details.
1. Go to **Location settings > Customers** and manage the [**Require billing details**](/docs/customer-management/billing-details) setting depending on your needs:
* Enable this requirement for both individual users and companies
* Or only for companies, if you need to generate eInvoices only for companies.
If **Require billing details** is enabled for a customer type:
* New customers will be prompted to fill out their billing details at the first payment.
* Existing customers missing billing details will be prompted to update their details during their next payment.
2. To review or update customer details manually:
* Go to the **Customers** page > open each customer profile > locate the [**Billing details**](/docs/customer-management/billing-details) section on the right side panel.
* Fill in any missing billing details as an administrator.
* Alternatively, ask customers to update billing details on their own under [**Membership > Billing**.](/docs/customer-management/billing-details)
#### Requirements for companies
For companies, complete billing details are required for eInvoices to be generated and synced.
If a certain company's billing details are incomplete or invalid, invoices for that company will remain in [**Draft**](/docs/billing/invoices/statuses) status with a warning and cannot be issued.
#### Requirements for individual users
For individual members, only fill in billing details if you want their invoices to be generated as eInvoices and synced as well.
* If you do not want to generate eInvoices for individual members, leave their billing details, especially the **Legal business name** and **Tax ID**, empty.
* If at least one of these fields is filled for an individual member, Spacebring will attempt to sync their invoices as eInvoices.
## Activate Peppol eInvoicing
1. Go to **Location settings > Billing.**
2. In the **Invoices** tab, enable the **eInvoicing** switch.
3. In the **Peppol verification** section, click **Upload proof of ownership**.
4. Upload one of the following documents to verify your authorization to represent your company on Peppol:
* An invoice with direct debit authorization
* An official company representation document
* A Bolagsverket business registration certificate
5. Your proof of ownership will be submitted to Peppol and verified.
* Track your verification status on this page. It may take up to 3 business days.
* If prompted, update your billing details or take any required actions.
Once verified, your location is registered on the Peppol network under its organization number, which is how Swedish receivers are commonly listed.
If the connection fails, administrators with the [**Integrations > Failures**](/docs/account/notifications) notification enabled are notified on the **Inbox** page, by push, and by email.
## How Peppol eInvoicing works
After Peppol eInvoicing is activated:
* All invoices for customers with valid billing details are automatically converted into a compliant eInvoice format during issuance and sent through Peppol.
* Customers continue receiving standard PDF invoices by email and push [notifications](/docs/member/account/notifications) — the PDF appearance remains unchanged. Machine-readable eInvoices are sent in parallel via the Peppol network.
* Invoices are not reported to the tax authority. eInvoices travel directly to your customers over the Peppol network.
* [Credit notes](/docs/billing/invoices/credit-notes) are also synced if the original invoice was successfully synced via Peppol.
* When Peppol eInvoicing is active, voiding invoices and credit notes is not supported, because Peppol does not allow it. Instead, you can:
* [Issue a credit note](/docs/billing/invoices/credit-notes) to correct the invoice
* If necessary, issue a credit note for the full invoice amount to void it.
### Track eInvoice syncing
Each invoice has the eInvoice sync status indicated.
If an eInvoice fails to sync (for example, due to invalid or missing customer billing details):
* The invoice will not be issued.
* The system will display:
* "eInvoice sync failed" status
* A red warning triangle next to the affected invoice
* A red warning triangle next to the customer's name on the **Customers** page.
* A notification to administrators with the [**Integrations > Failures**](/docs/account/notifications) notification enabled, on the **Inbox** page, by push, and by email.
If prompted, update the customer's billing details or complete any required actions, and click **Issue** again.
You can also see the eInvoice sync status for all invoices in the [invoices report](/docs/billing/invoices/track-and-manage#export-an-invoices-report).
