What is eInvoicing
eInvoicing (electronic invoicing) is becoming increasingly mandatory for businesses across many EU countries. It replaces traditional PDF invoices with standardized, machine-readable electronic invoices that can be automatically processed by accounting and government systems.
Spacebring helps you stay compliant by:
Automatically generating eInvoices and credit notes in the VERI*FACTU-required format
Registering and storing them in the VERI*FACTU system and submitting to the Spanish Tax Authority (AEAT); tracking synchronization status.
Adding VERI*FACTU QR codes to invoice PDFs that customers receive
Automatically validating tax ID for faster reconciliation.
Currently, eInvoicing via Spacebring is available for Belgium and Spain. We’re actively expanding support to more countries. If eInvoicing is required in your country, please let us know at [email protected].
This feature is currently in beta. Its functionality and appearance are subject to change, and it may not be fully stable. We welcome your feedback at [email protected].

How eInvoicing works
After eInvoicing is enabled:
All new invoices are automatically converted into the VERI*FACTU-compliant eInvoice, registered in the VERI*FACTU system, and submitted to AEAT.
In parallel, customers continue receiving standard PDF invoices, now including a VERI*FACTU QR code linking to the invoice record in VERI*FACTU.
Credit notes are also submitted if their original invoice was successfully synced.
Track eInvoice syncing
Each invoice has the eInvoice sync status indicated.
If an eInvoice fails to sync (for example, due to invalid or missing customer billing details):
The invoice will not be issued.
The system will display:
“eInvoice sync failed” status
A red warning triangle next to the affected invoice
A red warning triangle next to the customer’s name on the Customers page.
If prompted, update the customer’s billing details or complete any required actions, and click Issue again.
You can also see the eInvoice sync status for all invoices in the "Invoices" report.
