Sign-Up and Implementation Process
The eB2B Domain uses existing technical infrastructure to manage sign-up and operations.
This way, familiar tools and flows will be used helping to reduce any news to learn, while using appropriately pragmatic workflows in the back-office involving both OpenPeppol and GENA association representatives as required.
The process consists of a formal sign-up (steps 1+2) and configuration in your infrastructure.
Sign-Up request
A dedicated type of eB2B Sign-Up request is available at the Peppol Service Desk page.
Submit this form to express your interest in joining the eB2B Starting Environment
OpenPeppol and GENA validate the requirements, asking for additional information if needed
Eventually, the result of the request is communicated, along with further instructions
Once this stage is completed, follow-up requests are used to go through the next steps.
In particular, signing the “Peppol Service Provider Agreement” (SPA) with the “Enhanced B2B Domain” option, with OpenPeppol, will be required.
Note: as of 05/2025, a specific “EB2B certificate” is not required anymore; your regular Peppol AP certificate is used to establish your identity as AP operator.
System Configuration
Depending on your infrastructure, configure required flows in Peppol “Test” (SMK) and production.
