# E-invoicing

> E-invoicing, also known as electronic invoicing, refers to the practice of exchanging invoices digitally between businesses.

E-invoicing involves using a standardized format that enables automated issuance, receipt, and processing of invoices within the financial systems of both buyers and sellers. Compliance with e-invoicing standards is particularly important in regions like the European Union.

<Note>E-invoice is only available for **premium plans**.</Note>
