Three models, one engine. Refer customers as a referral, resell as a reseller, or offer Peppol under your own brand as white label. The same PSB and compliance coverage, only your role differs.

Refer without delivering yourself. You refer customers and receive a fee per connection. No technical integration, no own support. Suitable for consultants, accountants and advisors who want to recommend e‑invoicing as a service.
Resell as part of your own offering. You integrate via the PSB REST API or a standard connection, keep the customer relationship and set your own price. eConnect delivers the technology and compliance in the background.
Own brand, no own Peppol certificate. Your own login domain, identity provider and tenant isolation, operating under the Peppol certificate of eConnect. No annual OpenPeppol contribution or audits required.
Each model offers a different level of involvement and ownership. Start with the model that fits today; in practice, partners often move to a closer collaboration as volumes and ambitions grow.
A quick comparison on the most common decision points. The models do not exclude each other: start with what fits today and grow with us. Many partners begin as a referral and later switch to reseller or white label when e‑invoicing becomes a larger part of their proposition. That transition is smooth: the same API, the same compliance, the same contacts.
We chose eConnect for multiple reasons, from the competitive pricing to the quality of your API, which we found to be one of the best among tested providers.
What really spoke for eConnect was their fast action. We quickly got clarity on the impact of e-invoicing and the costs.
Three models, increasing in involvement and ownership. As a referral partner you refer customers to eConnect and receive a fee per connection, without integrating technically or providing support yourself. As a reseller you integrate the eConnect PSB into your own software via REST API or a standard connection, keep the customer relationship and set your own price. As a white-label partner you offer Peppol under your own brand, with your own login domain and tenant isolation, while eConnect provides the technology and the Peppol Access Point certificate.
In the first conversation we determine together which model fits your audience, technical capacity and commercial ambition. The choice is not irreversible: in practice the models overlap and you can grow into a different model later.
Yes. In practice many partners start as a referral and grow into reseller or white label as soon as e-invoicing becomes a larger part of their proposition. The transition is smooth because the underlying technical foundation stays the same. When switching models we discuss what that means for the partner contract and the commercial agreements.
The agreements are recorded in a partner contract and vary per model and volume. With referral we work with a fee per referred customer. With reseller and white label we determine together a pricing and margin structure that fits your audience and volumes.
Schedule a meeting to discuss the options.
eConnect is operational or in active development in 15+ countries, with a focus on Europe. The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland, Italy and Spain are fully set up for both domestic and cross-border flows. Outside Europe, eConnect supports countries such as the UAE and Singapore via PINT (Peppol International).
As a partner you benefit from this coverage without building country-specific knowledge or certifications yourself. See compliance as a managed service for the full overview.
Partners cite three main reasons. The first is the integration experience: one REST API with OAuth2, OpenAPI/Swagger documentation and SDKs in PHP and .NET gives access to Peppol, other procurement networks and email. No separate connections per country or network. The second is compliance as a managed service: regulation in 15+ countries is actively tracked and changes in standards and CTC requirements are pushed centrally, with no work on the partner side. The third is a proven operational base: 99,99% uptime SLA (100% in practice since 2017), processing in under 100 milliseconds per document and a capacity of 200.000 messages per hour.
Status messages and CTC reporting messages are included in the per-document price. With many other models every message counts as a separate transaction.
That depends on the partner model. A referral collaboration can start immediately after signing the partner contract. A reseller with REST API experience typically goes live within four weeks. A white label track with custom branding and SSO setup takes six to twelve weeks. The partner process describes each phase with lead times and responsibilities.
In thirty minutes we discuss your audience, technical environment and commercial starting points. No sales pitch, just a concrete direction.
