What is e-invoicing?
E-invoicing is sending an invoice as structured data, not a PDF or paper, so the buyer's system reads it directly with no extraction step. A growing list of countries now mandate it for tax reasons, which is moving it from optional to required in many markets.
Structured data, not a document
A PDF is a picture of an invoice; something has to read it. An e-invoice is the data itself, in a format like UBL or a national standard, that software ingests as-is. No OCR, no confidence question, because nothing was interpreted.
Where extraction still matters
Most small businesses still receive a mix: some e-invoices, plenty of PDFs, and photos of paper. Until that tail disappears, you need something to turn the documents into the same clean data. InvoiceJet handles the PDF, image, and email side and gives it back structured, ready to export or send onward.
Common questions
Does InvoiceJet do e-invoicing?
InvoiceJet works on the document side, turning PDFs, images, and forwarded emails into structured data. An invoice that already arrives as a structured e-invoice has nothing to extract.
