Your software says you're ready. Our tools verify it in 30 seconds.

The Slovak gateway can reject XML for issues a normal ERP export may not show: missing EndpointID, wrong Slovak TIN format or TaxSubtotal amounts in the wrong currency. Check documents before 2027, not after. We check UBL, EN 16931, Peppol BIS and SK CIUS rules. Free.

Not only Access Points: software, accounting, ERP and workflow matter

The Slovak market will need more than a list of certified delivery providers. We are adding a neutral guide for choosing e-invoicing software, accounting workflows, ERP/API options, archive, pricing and exit risks. The detailed pages are Slovak-first while the international hub explains the approach.

Choose your entry point

One centre, three practical paths

A clear overview is enough to start. Then each user chooses the branch that best matches their situation and readiness level.

Product core

What separates a professional solution

A good solution does not end with creating XML. You also need partner verification, validation, document receiving, response handling and a readiness overview.

Trust and purchase

A product also needs trust and a clear business model

Trust is just as important as the features themselves. A client needs to understand security, access rights, pricing and what is included in the solution.

How to work with it

Four steps instead of one big mess

At the start, it is important to understand the basic process. Detailed guides and tools are in the other parts of the centre.

01

Map the reality

What inputs does the company actually have today: PDF, Excel, ERP export, manual form or already XML.

Inputs and maturity
02

Check partners and documents

Lookup, validation and viewer clean up partner data and the document itself before the next step.

Lookup + validator + viewer
03

Choose the right workflow

Not everyone needs an API right away. Sometimes the app is enough, elsewhere batch or direct integration.

App, batch or integration
04

Build receive-side and audit

A good solution also considers incoming documents, responses, approvals and audit trail.

Common objections

Questions we solve early

"Do I need a new accounting system?"

Not as the first step. Start by validating, viewing and mapping current invoice outputs.

"My accountant handles this."

The accountant still needs clean inputs, client readiness status and a controlled receive-side workflow.

"PEPPOL and UBL are too technical."

The interface translates technical validation into business actions: what failed, why, and who must fix it.

"We only issue a few invoices."

Low volume needs a lighter workflow, not a broken workflow. Manual tools remain part of the product surface.

"We mostly sell to consumers."

The mandate depends on transaction type and taxable-person context. The system helps separate B2C, B2B and B2G handling.

"What if the recipient is not ready?"

Partner lookup and readiness tracking prevent a blind send-and-fail process.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When is e-invoicing mandatory for B2B in Slovakia?

From 1 January 2027 — all VAT-registered businesses must send domestic B2B invoices as XML via PEPPOL. The receiving obligation applies to all taxable persons from the same date.

I received an XML invoice from a Slovak supplier. What do I do?

Use the free PEPPOL Viewer/Validator to open and read the XML in a human-readable format. Export to PDF, forward to your accountant, or import into your ERP.

Does a PDF invoice count as an e-invoice in Slovakia?

No. From 2027, a PDF will not fulfill the e-invoicing obligation for covered transactions. The invoice must be structured XML (UBL 2.1) sent via a certified Access Point.

What is Slovak e-Invoicing Centre? Are you a PEPPOL Access Point?

Slovak e-Invoicing Centre is a software intermediary and control layer — not a certified PEPPOL Access Point. We provide validation, viewing, error diagnosis, partner lookup and preparation tools.

My invoice failed validation. Where do I start?

Go to the Error Code Database. Find the error code (e.g. BR-CO-10, R003, UBL-SR-01), read the cause and fix. Each entry includes the XML field to correct.

Is Slovak e-Invoicing Centre free?

Core tools (validator, viewer, error database, guide) are free. Advanced features for accountants, API access and enterprise workflows are on paid plans. See pricing.

Start with validation, then choose the workflow

Validate a sample XML first. If you need a controlled rollout for clients, ERP exports or API handoff, continue with guided onboarding.
