Question 1

Is A-Cube a certified Peppol Access Point?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A-Cube S.r.l. appears on OpenPeppol's certified service provider register under the Italian Peppol Authority (AgID), certified as both an Access Point and an SMP. The SMP certification means A-Cube can register and publish participant identifiers on the network, not only send and receive through someone else's.

Question 2

Which countries does A-Cube cover?

Accepted Answer

A-Cube publishes country solutions for Italy, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and the United Arab Emirates, plus the wider Peppol network. Spain and the United Kingdom are listed as upcoming, tracking their expected mandate dates.

Question 3

What compliance models does A-Cube support?

Accepted Answer

Both clearance and decentralised exchange. In Italy and Poland the invoice has to pass through a government system before it counts, so A-Cube submits to SDI and KSeF and returns the outcome. In Germany, Belgium, the UAE and the rest of the Peppol network there is no central platform, and A-Cube delivers as a certified Access Point instead. France is a mix: B2G runs through Chorus Pro while the B2B reform routes through registered platforms. Italian e-reporting obligations such as corrispettivi and DAC7 are handled on the same platform.

Question 4

Is A-Cube an accredited intermediary for Italy's SDI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A-Cube is accredited with the Agenzia delle Entrate and handles both sending and receiving through the Sistema di Interscambio. Invoices can be submitted as native FatturaPA XML or as JSON, which A-Cube converts, and it also runs automated checks on VAT numbers and tax codes.

Question 5

Is A-Cube registered for the French e-invoicing mandate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A-Cube is on the DGFiP register of Plateformes Agréées, with its immatriculation number delivered on 21 July 2026. It sits in the group of platforms whose audit report is still outstanding, which is the normal position for registrations granted in 2026. Under the French reform all VAT-registered businesses must be able to receive e-invoices from 1 September 2026, with issuing mandatory for large and medium enterprises from the same date and for the rest from 1 September 2027.

Question 6

Does A-Cube support Poland's KSeF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A-Cube connects to KSeF and produces the structured FA(3) XML that Poland requires for domestic B2B. Poland's clearance model means an invoice has no legal standing until KSeF validates it. The mandate applies to large businesses from 1 February 2026, other companies from 1 April 2026 and micro-enterprises from January 2027.

Question 7

Does A-Cube handle German e-invoicing requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Peppol BIS 3.0. Germany has no central government platform, so the exchange channel is left to the trading parties. All German companies have had to be able to receive EN 16931 structured invoices since 1 January 2025; issuing becomes mandatory for companies above EUR 800,000 turnover in 2027 and for everyone in 2028.

Question 8

Does A-Cube support the UAE e-invoicing mandate?

Accepted Answer

A-Cube supports the UAE through the Peppol network and the PINT-AE XML format, covering B2B and B2G under the country's decentralised five-corner model. The UAE pilot runs from July 2026, with mandatory adoption from 1 January 2027 for large businesses and a staged expansion after that. UAE rules also require businesses to appoint a service provider accredited by the Ministry of Finance, so confirm A-Cube's accreditation status directly before relying on it for UAE filings.

Question 9

Which ERP and payment systems does A-Cube connect to?

Accepted Answer

A-Cube ships pre-built connectors for Stripe, SAP and Microsoft Dynamics 365, and connects to anything else through its REST API. Authentication is by API key or OAuth 2.0, and documents can move over REST or FTP.

Question 10

Does A-Cube offer a sandbox or free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The sandbox is free and open to developers with no production data and no commitment, and the API specifications are published in OpenAPI format at docs.acubeapi.com. Partners get sandbox access at kick-off as part of the onboarding sequence.

Question 11

How is A-Cube priced?

Accepted Answer

Production use runs on an annual subscription from 1 January to 31 December, priced on three variables: which products you take, the volume of operations you expect in the year, and how many legal entities you need to serve. Activation part-way through the year is billed pro-rata, and activation after 1 July covers the remainder of the current year plus the following one. A-Cube does not publish rate cards, so quotes come from sales.

Question 12

What security and quality certifications does A-Cube hold?

Accepted Answer

A-Cube holds ISO 27001 for information security, ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 22301 for business continuity, alongside its Peppol accreditation with AgID.

Question 13

Does A-Cube provide real-time status updates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Webhooks can be configured for every event in the document lifecycle and are retried automatically when the receiving endpoint is unreachable, so government and network statuses land in your own system rather than requiring anyone to log in to a tax authority portal. A monitoring dashboard covers consumption and configuration.

Question 14

Can Peppol invoices be routed into Italy's SDI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A-Cube runs a Peppol-to-SDI bridge that takes inbound UBL from the Peppol network, converts it to FatturaPA XML and submits it to the Italian tax authority through the same Italian APIs, so a foreign supplier sending over Peppol reaches an Italian buyer without a separate integration.

Question 15

Does A-Cube handle documents other than invoices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alongside e-invoicing the platform covers electronic receipts (corrispettivi), NSO healthcare orders and delivery notes, DAC7 reporting, the RENTRI waste register, Sistema Tessera Sanitaria healthcare expense reporting, legal archiving, open banking, AI-assisted PDF-to-XML conversion and VAT number and tax code verification.

Question 16

What does A-Cube's legal archiving cover?

Accepted Answer

The conservazione a norma API retains invoices plus payslips, customer and supplier contracts, employment contracts, delivery notes (DDT), the fixed asset register, the general ledger, purchase and sales VAT registers and voluntary registers. It reads the document type and applies the retention rules of the relevant country, and returns receipts in XML or PDF.

Question 17

Does A-Cube offer a white-label or partner option for software providers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through a three-tier partner programme. Standard suits developers, accountants and resellers; Premium adds a dedicated account manager, an enhanced SLA, roadmap access and co-marketing for ISVs and system integrators; Gold adds white-label options, reference territories and preferential lead allocation for large platforms and international resellers. White-label digital archiving lets the end customer stay inside the partner's own product and branding. Margins increase with volume, and onboarding runs candidacy, discovery, proposal, kick-off and go-live.

Question 18

How much volume does A-Cube handle?

Accepted Answer

A-Cube reports more than 70 million invoices handled since 2019, over 120,000 companies reached through the platform and 450+ direct clients made up of software houses and enterprises. Its documentation puts steady-state throughput at 500,000 to 1 million documents a month and around 500,000 API calls a day.
