Clearvo operates its own Peppol Access Point (AP ID PIE001162), certified by OpenPeppol. Every invoice you send to a Peppol-network country travels directly from Clearvo to the buyer’s AP over the AS4 protocol — no third-party routing, no intermediary, no dependency on a partner’s uptime. SML/SMP registration is handled automatically: your participants are discoverable on the Peppol network the moment they go live.
Peppol is a standardised e-document network. Instead of sending invoices point-to-point, every participant connects through a certified Access Point. Two APs exchange the document over the secure AS4 protocol — so you only need one AP connection to reach any buyer on the network.
The SML is the Peppol network’s DNS-equivalent. When Clearvo needs to send an invoice to a buyer, it queries the SML to find which SMP holds that buyer’s routing information. Clearvo manages this lookup automatically on every send — you never interact with it directly.
The SMP publishes each participant’s capabilities: which document types they accept and which AP endpoint to use. Clearvo registers your participants in its SMP automatically, so buyers can discover and route documents to you from day one — no manual registration forms.
Most e-invoicing vendors connect you to Peppol through a partner AP they don’t control. Clearvo operates its own certified AP — which changes the economics and the SLA.
| Clearvo AP | 3rd-party AP reseller | |
|---|---|---|
| Routing hops | Direct (Clearvo → buyer AP) | 2 hops (vendor → partner AP → buyer AP) |
| Uptime dependency | Clearvo only | Vendor + partner AP |
| Pricing control | Set by Clearvo | Partner AP sets wholesale rate |
| SLA ownership | Clearvo owns full path | Partial — vendor can’t control partner |
| SMP registration | Automatic | Depends on partner AP processes |
Peppol is no longer just a standard — it’s the law in a growing number of markets. Finance directors evaluating B2B e-invoicing in any of these countries need a certified AP in place before the mandate deadline.

Clearvo supports the full BIS document suite — not just invoices. If your buyers or public sector customers require structured order confirmations or despatch notices over Peppol, Clearvo handles those too.
Peppol delivery is not a separate integration. When you POST an invoice to Clearvo for a Peppol-network country, Clearvo automatically resolves the buyer’s endpoint via SML/SMP, builds the BIS Billing 3.0 UBL payload, and delivers it over AS4. You write the same API call you use for Italy, Poland, or France.
Send your invoice data with the buyer’s country code and Peppol participant identifier. No Peppol-specific payload construction required — Clearvo generates the EN 16931-compliant UBL XML from your structured data.
Clearvo queries the SML to locate the buyer’s SMP, retrieves their AP endpoint, and dispatches the document over AS4. If the buyer is not yet registered on Peppol, Clearvo returns a clear error with guidance — no silent failures.
Clearvo returns a delivery receipt with the AS4 message ID and timestamp. For markets that support Invoice Response (T111), Clearvo surfaces the buyer’s acknowledgement back through the same webhook that handles authority clearances.
Peppol delivery is part of Clearvo’s e-invoicing API — no additional account, no additional contract.
View the full e-invoicing product →Clearvo’s Peppol Access Point ID is PIE001162. This is the identifier assigned to Clearvo by OpenPeppol and is registered in the Peppol Service Metadata Locator (SML). You can use this ID to verify Clearvo’s certified AP status directly with OpenPeppol.
Clearvo supports BIS Billing 3.0 (the primary invoice and credit note format), Peppol Order (T01), Order Response (T76), Despatch Advice (T16), and Invoice Response Message (T111). BIS Billing 3.0 is the format required for all Peppol-mandated B2G and B2B markets.
No. Clearvo handles SML/SMP registration for you. When you onboard a new entity for Peppol delivery, Clearvo registers that participant’s identifier and capability set in its SMP and publishes the record to the SML. Your participants become discoverable on the Peppol network automatically — no separate registration forms, no OpenPeppol membership required on your side.
Yes. Clearvo is a certified Peppol Access Point, certified by OpenPeppol under AP ID PIE001162. OpenPeppol certification requires passing a set of conformance tests covering AS4 message exchange, SMP registration, and BIS document validation. Clearvo’s certification covers both sending (outbound) and receiving (inbound) Peppol documents.
No separate Peppol registration. No 3rd-party AP to manage.
