Shopify NetSuite integration for French brands.

France’s e-invoicing reform started on 1 September 2026. Every business must now be able to receive e-invoices, and SMEs must issue them from September 2027 through an approved platform. For a Shopify brand, that touches B2B invoices and the sales data reported for consumer orders.

The short answer

ConversionsKing integrates Shopify and NetSuite for French brands working through the e-invoicing reform. B2B orders reach NetSuite with SIREN and VAT numbers ready for your approved platform. Consumer sales post cleanly for e-reporting. Cartes Bancaires payouts reconcile, and stock and tracking sync back. We work from Dubai, three hours ahead of Paris in winter.

What we plan for

The France specifics.

  • 01

    B2B invoices through an approved platform

    Under the reform, B2B invoices go through a plateforme agréée (PA), the platforms formerly called PDPs. NetSuite raises the invoice, and the platform carries it. We make sure Shopify B2B orders arrive in NetSuite with the SIREN, VAT number and address the platform will check.

  • 02

    Consumer sales still get reported

    Consumer orders do not need e-invoices, but the reform also covers e-reporting of transaction and payment data. For SMEs that starts on 1 September 2027. We post Shopify consumer sales to NetSuite with consistent dates, tax codes and payment status, so the data your platform reports matches your books.

  • 03

    Cartes Bancaires on French cards

    Most French cards are co-badged with Cartes Bancaires and a global scheme. Depending on your payment provider, these may settle with different fees. We map each method to its own NetSuite clearing account, so fee lines and payouts tie out.

  • 04

    Credit notes and returns

    A Shopify refund to a business customer must become a credit note that references the original invoice. We create NetSuite credit memos linked to the source invoice, so the platform can match them. Consumer refunds reverse the original tax code and payment.

FAQ

Shopify and NetSuite in France.

Does the French e-invoicing reform apply to my Shopify store?

Yes, if your business is registered for VAT in France. Since 1 September 2026, you must be able to receive e-invoices. If you are an SME, you must issue B2B e-invoices and report consumer sales data from 1 September 2027. Large and mid-size companies already do both. Your accountant should confirm which category your company falls into.

Can NetSuite send e-invoices to a French plateforme agréée?

NetSuite can produce the invoice data, and a connection sends it to your approved platform. Some platforms offer a NetSuite connector, others take an API or file feed. We build the Shopify-to-NetSuite side so each B2B invoice carries the SIREN, VAT number and address the platform needs, and we coordinate the handover with the platform you choose.

What is e-reporting for Shopify consumer sales in France?

E-reporting is how sales that do not need an e-invoice, such as consumer orders, are reported to the tax authority as transaction data through your platform. For SMEs it starts on 1 September 2027. We keep Shopify consumer sales in NetSuite with clean dates, tax codes and payment status, so the reported figures match your ledger.

How do Cartes Bancaires payouts reconcile in NetSuite?

Each payment method gets its own NetSuite payment method and clearing account. When the payout arrives, we post one deposit with sales, refunds, chargebacks and fees split out. If Cartes Bancaires transactions settle with different fees from Visa or Mastercard, those fees post to their own line, so the deposit still matches the bank amount.

Should we wait until 2027 to set up our Shopify NetSuite integration?

No. Receiving obligations already apply, and building the integration now gives you a year of clean data before SME issuance starts. The parts that matter for the reform, such as customer identifiers, tax codes and linked credit notes, are the same parts that make month-end close faster. Platform setup can follow once your provider is chosen.
