Below, we answer common questions and explain the new settings and options.<\/p>\n<h2>What are XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, and Factur-X?<\/h2>\n<p>These are standards for electronic invoicing that enable businesses to exchange invoice data digitally in a structured XML format. This format ensures compliance with B2B invoicing regulations and promotes faster, more accurate invoice processing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>XRechnung: A German e-invoice standard required for B2B transactions, specifically for businesses dealing with public authorities in Germany.<\/li>\n<li>ZUGFeRD: Another German e-invoicing format that combines both XML and PDF formats, making it easier to visually and digitally process invoices.<\/li>\n<li>Factur-X: The French equivalent to ZUGFeRD, used widely across Europe. Factur-X also combines PDF with XML for easy handling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_600143470\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"793\" src=\"https:\/\/www.welaunch.io\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/woocommerce-ZUGFeRD-xrechnung-factur-x-options-1024x796.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"woocommerce ZUGFeRD xrechnung factur-x options\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.welaunch.io\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/woocommerce-ZUGFeRD-xrechnung-factur-x-options-1024x796.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.welaunch.io\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/woocommerce-ZUGFeRD-xrechnung-factur-x-options-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/www.welaunch.io\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/woocommerce-ZUGFeRD-xrechnung-factur-x-options-768x597.png 768w, https:\/\/www.welaunch.io\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/woocommerce-ZUGFeRD-xrechnung-factur-x-options-1536x1193.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.welaunch.io\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/woocommerce-ZUGFeRD-xrechnung-factur-x-options-2048x1591.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.welaunch.io\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/woocommerce-ZUGFeRD-xrechnung-factur-x-options-600x466.png 600w, https:\/\/www.welaunch.io\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/woocommerce-ZUGFeRD-xrechnung-factur-x-options-510x396.png 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_600143470 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1596521571\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1596521571 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h2>New Plugin Settings Explained<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Enable ZUGFeRD \/ XRechnung \/ Factur-X Invoices<br \/><\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Toggle this setting to enable the generation of XML e-invoices in XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, or Factur-X format.
