E-Invoicing: September 2026 β Is Your POS Ready?
The reform starts September 2026: all French businesses must receive electronic invoices. By September 2027, B2C e-reporting becomes mandatory too. digabloPos is already ISCA/NF525 compliant and includes the e-reporting module β don't get caught off guard.
Two Deadlines, Zero Room for Error: September 2026 and 2027
The French e-invoicing reform happens in two phases and the first one is just months away. From September 1, 2026, ALL French businesses β no exceptions β must be able to receive electronic invoices from their suppliers. If your POS software isn't ready, you won't even be able to process invoices from your wholesalers. In September 2027, the obligation expands: you must also transmit your B2C sales data (e-reporting) to the tax authority. For restaurant owners and retailers, this means your POS software must already comply with NF525 certification (or its equivalent ISCA β Inalterability, Security, Conservation, Archiving). Without this certification, your software has been illegal since the 2018 anti-fraud law. Yet many businesses still use non-certified systems. The 2026 reform will make this situation untenable: inspections and penalties will intensify.
- September 2026: receiving e-invoices mandatory for ALL businesses
- September 2027: B2C sales data transmission (e-reporting) mandatory
- NF525/ISCA certification has been mandatory since 2018 β inspections increasing
- Penalties: β¬15 per non-compliant invoice + β¬250 per undeclared transaction
- digabloPos is ISCA certified and ready for both deadlines β no extra software
How B2C E-Reporting Works with digabloPos
E-reporting with digabloPos is fully automated. Every time you close your cash register, a Z-report is generated with a complete breakdown of your sales by VAT rate, payment method (cash, card, cheque), and transaction count. This data is automatically aggregated according to your VAT regime. When you open the E-Invoicing tab in settings, digabloPos automatically prepares the report for the previous period. You just verify the amounts and confirm. No manual entry, no CSV exports β everything happens from your usual interface. Data is transmitted to the tax authority via the Public Invoicing Portal (Chorus Pro), and digabloPos acts as a Dematerialization Operator: you don't need to create a PISTE account.
- Automatic report generation at every cash register closing
- VAT breakdown by rate (5.5%, 10%, 20%) calculated automatically
- Aggregation by period based on your regime (3x/month, monthly, bimonthly)
- Transmission via Chorus Pro β no PISTE account required for the merchant
- Complete submission history with real-time status tracking
ISCA Compliance: The Foundation of E-Invoicing
Before e-reporting, your POS software must meet the 4 pillars of ISCA compliance: Inalterability, Security, Conservation, and Archiving. digabloPos has been compliant by design. Every transaction is sealed with a chained SHA-256 hash β impossible to modify a receipt after the fact. Z-reports are themselves chained and digitally signed. Fiscal archives are automatically generated with HMAC-SHA256 signatures. This ISCA compliance is the foundation on which e-reporting rests. Without it, the data transmitted to the tax authority would have no probative value. With digabloPos, you have the guarantee that your data is intact, traceable, and compliant with the requirements of the French tax authority (DGFiP). And unlike solutions that add compliance as a paid option, digabloPos includes it free in the base plan.
- Chained SHA-256 hash on every transaction (inalterability)
- Automatic Z-reports with cryptographic chaining
- HMAC-SHA256 signed fiscal archives (6-year retention)
- Anti-modification: impossible to change a sealed receipt
- Compliance included for free β not an extra paid module
SIREN, SIRET, and VAT Regime: Setup in 2 Minutes
To activate e-reporting in digabloPos, simply enter your SIREN (9 digits), your SIRET (14 digits), and select your VAT regime. The intra-community VAT number is automatically calculated from your SIREN. Three regimes are supported: standard (report 3x/month), simplified (monthly report), and exempt (bimonthly report). Once this information is saved and the module activated, digabloPos handles the rest. You authorize digabloPos to transmit your data on your behalf (as a Dematerialization Operator), and each period, the report is automatically prepared in your dashboard. No government interface to navigate, no XML files to generate manually.
- Enter SIREN and SIRET with automatic format validation
- VAT number automatically computed from SIREN
- Choose your regime: standard, simplified, or exempt
- One-click transmission authorization (OD mandate)
- Complete setup in under 2 minutes
Why You Shouldn't Wait Until 2027 to Prepare
Even though the obligation only takes effect in September 2027 for small businesses, there are good reasons to prepare now. First, e-reporting relies on the quality of your Z-reports. If your current POS doesn't generate compliant Z-reports, you're losing months of historical data. Second, your VAT rate configuration (dine-in vs takeaway for restaurants) must be correct from the start for reliable breakdowns. By adopting digabloPos today, you immediately benefit from ISCA compliance, automatic Z-reports, and VAT breakdowns. When transmission becomes mandatory, you won't need to change anything: the submit button will simply be enabled. That's the difference between a smooth transition and a last-minute scramble.

Use Cases
Restaurant with Multiple VAT Rates
A restaurant serving dine-in (10%) and takeaway (5.5%) needs precise VAT breakdown for e-reporting. digabloPos automatically handles both rates based on order type and generates the report with the correct breakdown.
Bakery with VAT Exemption
A sole proprietor with VAT exemption still needs to do bimonthly e-reporting. digabloPos adapts to the regime: no VAT to break down, but sales data (amount excl. tax, transaction count) is properly transmitted.
Multi-Location Food Truck Chain
With multiple locations, each establishment has its own SIRET and Z-reports. digabloPos handles e-reporting per establishment with a single owner account.
