As mentioned in other help documents, a Peppol Endpoint ID is a unique identifier that each participating company receives when they join the Peppol network. Within Belgium and many other European countries, this ID often consists of the company’s VAT number, making it easy to trace.
The most direct way to get the Peppol Endpoint ID is to simply ask your customer. Companies that are active on the Peppol network are usually willing to share this information, as it also simplifies their own administrative processes.
Several online directories are available where you can look up the Peppol Endpoint ID. These directories are accessible via websites that support the Peppol network. You can search here by company name, location, or directly by VAT number. One of the most well-known is the Peppol Directory from Peppol.eu.
Correctly using the Peppol Endpoint ID of your customers ensures that electronic documents such as invoices are sent accurately and securely. This reduces the chance of errors, speeds up the transaction process and improves the overall efficiency and security of your business communication. It also helps to comply with the regulations around digital invoicing that are increasingly becoming the standard in many countries, including Belgium.
