Configure e-reporting
Key points
Ciklik’s e-reporting sends your box shop’s B2C invoicing data to your approved platform (AP), as part of the French e-invoicing reform. Ciklik integrates with Qonto and Pennylane, and also offers an Export CSV (sans PA) option that needs no credentials. Setup is done in Settings > Sites, with the Configurer e-reporting action, and a transmission frequency of every 10 days, monthly or every two months depending on your VAT regime. Ciklik then automatically transmits the invoices of the elapsed period, emails you after each transmission and never sends the same invoice twice.
Starting in 2026, French businesses must transmit their B2C transaction data to the tax authorities via an Approved Platform (AP). Ciklik integrates with Qonto and Pennylane to automate this transmission. An Export CSV (sans PA) option is also available, with no credentials to enter.
