ThriveCart Helps Businesses Prepare for Europe’s Changing E-Invoicing Rules

ThriveCart is helping businesses and creators prepare for Europe’s changing e-invoicing requirements with UBL XML support for global selling.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 1, 2026 / ThriveCart, an all-in-one creator commerce, course, and community platform used by more than 75,000 businesses worldwide, today announced support for UBL XML e-invoice downloads. The new capability is designed to help merchants prepare for changing regulatory requirements across Europe and manage invoice data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Across the EU, governments are moving away from paper and PDF-only invoicing toward digital invoice formats that can be processed by accounting systems and, where required, shared with tax authorities or approved e-invoicing platforms.

The changes are being introduced country by country. France’s phased e-invoicing rollout begins on September 1, 2026. Germany has already introduced mandatory e-invoice receiving requirements, with sending requirements expanding from 2027. Spain is also preparing a progressive rollout for B2B e-invoicing from 2027.

For businesses and creators selling internationally, these changes create new responsibilities and increase the need for flexible invoicing tools. ThriveCart’s UBL XML support gives merchants access to structured invoice files that can be shared with their accountant, accounting software, e-invoice provider, or relevant government platform where applicable. The XML download is available alongside the existing PDF invoice option.

“Selling globally shouldn’t mean having to rebuild your business every time regulations change. We’re continuing to add practical tools that help businesses and creators serve customers worldwide, adapt to new requirements, and stay focused on growth,” said ThriveCart CEO Ismael Wrixen.

This update is part of ThriveCart’s broader commitment to helping merchants navigate the changing requirements of global digital commerce, such as sales tax compliance tools on all ThriveCart plans and the addition of the EU right of withdrawal options. By making structured invoice data available directly from the platform, ThriveCart is helping businesses build more adaptable workflows as additional European mandates come into effect.

Merchants remain responsible for understanding the rules that apply to their business and completing any required submission or reporting through the appropriate provider or authority.
