E-invoicing mandate — Burkina Faso
An invoice is only valid once the tax administration has accepted it — with a clearance number, a stamp or a code that nobody but the authority can issue. A format tool alone is not enough; access to the platform is required as well.

⚠ The facture électronique certifiée is a genuine structured invoice — unique identifier, QR code, transmission to the tax authority — but it may only come from an approved invoicing system that has to be bought through the chamber of commerce's distribution partners. A business without a permanent establishment in the country cannot in practice issue one; the obligation falls on the Burkinabè customer.

What Invoiceflair can do — Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso: the engine currently carries no national format of its own. Validating, viewing and converting the European formats remains available — only a country-specific mandatory format is missing.
Stated limit: Invoiceflair creates, validates and reads formats. It is not a Peppol access point and not a clearing service — it does not perform transmission to an authority's platform.
