E-Invoicing Explained
E-invoicing is a digital method of invoicing where all invoice data is transferred electronically - without printing, scanning or emailing. The invoice is created, sent, received, processed and archived automatically in a structured format.
In Shine, e-invoicing is included at no extra cost, and your customers do not pay anything to receive e-invoices.
Shine uses Basware to route e-invoices to the correct recipients. Please note that not all customers can receive e-invoices, so it’s important to confirm their preferred delivery method.
Reasons to send e-invoices
E-invoices offer several benefits:
- Faster processing - invoices go directly into the customer’s system
- Fewer delays - no postal delivery times or manual handling
- Higher accuracy - structured data reduces errors
- Widely supported - many large companies and public organisations rely on e-invoicing
- Cost-efficient and eco-friendly - no printing, paper or physical storage required
