Sending Electronic Documents in France
As a customer in France, you can send electronic documents either by email (as attached files) or through the PEPPOL eDelivery Network.
Continia Document Output connects you directly to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network, thereby eliminating the need to sign up with any third parties for integration. Once connected, you can start sending electronic documents to your customers in France and other countries. To learn more about how to connect to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network, see Setting up the Continia Delivery Network.
Another active network in France is CHORUS PRO, which is widely used by some industries. Continia is considering future integration with CHORUS PRO, but at the moment you must sign up with a third-party network provider if you need to receive documents from CHORUS PRO.
You can also export and send electronic documents to customers in other countries. Most widespread formats are supported, but not all. For a list of supported formats, see Supported Formats.
