E-invoicing

E-invoicing & electronic invoices in Tunisia (TEIF)

Software and platform for e-invoicing in Tunisia: the TEIF format structures your invoices in XML. Billown produces TEIF-compliant invoices (Finance Act 2026), ready for TunisieTradeNet signature (DIGIGO) and the TTN / El Fatoora ecosystem.
TEIF: quick definition
TEIF (Tunisian Electronic Invoice Format) is an XML format that structures invoice data in Tunisia. It simplifies automated checks (totals, VAT, identifiers) and supports the signature and exchange workflow (TTN / El Fatoora).

Moving to TEIF e-invoicing is not only a tool change: it is an evolution of your business process and compliance workflow. In Tunisia, the TEIF format formalizes invoice data in a standardized XML structure, which makes checks, archiving and exchanges with platforms and partners easier. With Billown, you don’t “make TEIF files” manually: you invoice as usual, and the platform produces a consistent and usable TEIF.

Concretely, Billown lets you create invoices, quotes, delivery notes and credit notes with a clear workflow (customers, items, VAT, discounts, payment methods). Then, TEIF is generated from that data, with consistency validations (totals, taxes, mandatory fields, identifiers) to reduce rejection risks and errors. You save time, reduce data-entry mistakes, and secure your exchanges.

TEIF compliance is often tied to the electronic TunisieTradeNet signature : the TEIF file must be signable to guarantee integrity and authenticity. That is why Billown was designed to chain steps naturally: generate TEIF, sign via TunisieTradeNet (DIGIGO), then automate the required flows. You can also connect invoicing to stock management, a point of sale (POS) and debt collection: TEIF is no longer a silo—it is the compliance layer of your management.

The TEIF flow in 3 steps
  1. Generate a TEIF invoice (XML) from your data (customers, items, VAT, totals).
  2. Sign the invoice (e.g. DIGIGO) via the TunisieTradeNet signature to guarantee integrity.
  3. Organize submission/exchange in the TTN / El Fatoora ecosystem based on your obligations and access.

For SMEs, the key is to be ready without over-investing: a good solution must be simple to adopt, while staying robust as volume grows. Billown offers a SaaS approach: no installation, automatic updates, multi-device access, and an interface designed for operational teams (sales, finance, management). At the same time, you keep traceability: who issued it, who validated it, what changed, which payments were made and which reminders were sent.
