Recurly and the French e-invoicing mandate
Recurly is a subscription management and billing platform trusted by businesses for managing recurring revenue at scale. With the French e-invoicing reform set to take effect from September 2026 (reception for all, emission for large companies) and September 2027 (emission for SMEs), any business using Recurly to bill French customers must generate invoices in the Factur-X format and transmit them to the French tax authorities.
Facturiz is building a Recurly integration to automate this compliance process from end to end. Join our waitlist to be notified as soon as it is available.
How the integration will work
The Recurly-Facturiz integration will connect through Recurly’s REST API and webhook notifications to process invoices automatically as they are generated.
Planned synchronization flow
- Secure API authentication: Connect your Recurly account to Facturiz using a private API key with read-only permissions for invoice and account data.
- Real-time webhook processing: Facturiz will subscribe to Recurly webhook events for new invoices, successful payments, refunds, and credit notes.
- Legal data enrichment: Mandatory French legal details will be added to each invoice, including your SIRET number, customer identification, VAT numbers, and legal mentions.
- Factur-X document generation: Invoices will be converted into PDF/A-3 documents with embedded CII XML metadata, ensuring compliance with European invoicing standards.
- PPF submission: Finalized documents will be sent automatically to the Portail Public de Facturation for validation and long-term archival.
Handling subscription complexity
Recurly supports complex billing scenarios including tiered pricing, usage-based billing, add-ons, coupons, and trial periods. The Facturiz integration will accurately translate all of these billing elements into properly structured Factur-X invoice lines, ensuring that every document is both commercially accurate and legally compliant.
Planned features
- Automatic invoice processing: Every Recurly invoice will be captured and converted to Factur-X without any manual intervention.
- Credit and refund management: Recurly credit invoices and refunds will automatically produce corresponding Factur-X credit notes.
- Dunning support: Invoices related to Recurly’s dunning process (retry payments, past-due notices) will be handled appropriately in the compliance workflow.
- Multi-entity billing: Businesses operating multiple Recurly sites for different legal entities can manage each one independently in Facturiz.
- Compliance status tracking: A centralized dashboard will show the real-time status of every Recurly invoice through the Factur-X pipeline.
- Historical invoice import: Import and convert your existing Recurly invoice history into Factur-X format for retroactive compliance.
Why Recurly users need Facturiz
Recurly provides robust subscription billing but does not produce invoices in the Factur-X format or handle direct transmission to the French tax portal. For businesses with hundreds or thousands of recurring invoices each month, manual compliance is not feasible. Facturiz will automate the entire electronic invoicing process, from data enrichment through document generation to PPF submission, letting your finance team focus on strategic work rather than regulatory paperwork.
