1 - You do not have a Certified Platform yet: use B2BRouter
If you do not have a Certified Platform yet, use B2BRouter. B2BRouter is the Certified Platform fully integrated with Boond: logging in, sending your electronic invoices, and receiving your provider invoices are done directly in Boond. You do not need to create any account or take any steps with B2BRouter: your registration is done from Boond during the configuration of the connector.
To configure B2BRouter, see the article How to configure electronic invoicing in Boond with B2BRouter? [LINK TO BE ADDED: article 886939]
2 - You already have a Pennylane account: use the Pennylane connector
If you already have a Pennylane account declared as a Certified Platform, use the Pennylane connector. To use this connector, you must have a Pennylane account beforehand.
Sending: you send your invoices from Boond. You can choose to send them to Pennylane or directly to your client.
Receiving: your provider invoices are received in your Pennylane space, not in Boond.
To configure the Pennylane connector, see the article Electronic invoicing with Pennylane.
3 - You use another Certified Platform: export your invoices
If you use a Certified Platform other than B2BRouter or Pennylane, export your invoices from Boond in Factur-X or CII formats, then transmit them via your Certified Platform. To learn how to export your invoices, see the article Export your invoices in Factur-X and CII formats.
Exporting an invoice does not send it
Important: exporting an invoice in Factur-X or CII formats downloads a file. Exporting does not send the invoice to your client or declare it to the administration. With another Certified Platform, sending and declaring your invoices are done from your Certified Platform.
Use B2BRouter in parallel with your Certified Platform
You can also use B2BRouter via Boond in parallel with your current Certified Platform. If your SIREN is already used on another Certified Platform, choose a SIRET addressing identifier or a custom identifier (SIREN + suffix) when configuring the B2BRouter connector. The custom identifier allows you to create multiple electronic billing addresses and segment your invoices, for example, a dedicated address for sending invoices from Boond.
