Send EHF Invoice

The Send EHF Invoice endpoint allows merchants to generate and send standardized electronic invoices (EHF) to corporate customers in Norway. EHF invoices conform to national and PEPPOL regulations, enabling seamless delivery to customer accounting systems and public sector entities. This API integrates Front Payment’s digital invoicing with your order workflow — encapsulating products, billing details, due dates, and delivery preferences into an EHF-enabled invoice.

Upon success, you'll receive an orderUuid and customerUuid to track the invoice lifecycle. To check invoice status go to Get Order Status By UUID page

Key Benefits

  • Automate invoicing workflows and reduce manual billing overhead.
  • Ensure compliance with Norwegian EHF (PEPPOL) standards.
  • Deliver invoices directly to recipients' systems via the PEPPOL network.
  • Monitor invoice status or reconcile with callbacks or queries.
