The invoice each country requires, over the API.

Cord Invoicing issues invoices from the app or over the API and adapts the document to your business's country: the e-invoice its tax authority requires wherever Cord already issues it, or a standard invoice with each line's tax. Each authority is switched on country by country.

FULL CYCLE

Create, issue, collect and correct from your code.

POST /api/v1/facturas creates a draft. Then, on that same invoice, you issue it, email it with the PDF attached, record a full or partial payment, void it or create a credit note. Each action fires its event, so your system can react by webhook.

  • Draft first: nothing reaches the tax authority until you issue
  • Partial payments capped at the real balance
  • invoice.finalized, invoice.paid and invoice.voided as webhooks

BY COUNTRY

The right document for each country.

Cord issues in each country the document its tax authority requires, or a standard invoice where none is needed. In the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom it issues an invoice with each line's sales tax, GST/HST or VAT. Where an authority must receive each invoice, Cord switches that channel on country by country; until it goes live for the account, the invoice goes out as a standard invoice or a pro forma.

  • The electronic format each authority requires
  • Per-line taxes and withholdings, not a flat rate
  • PDF and XML validated by the authority, where it applies

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What developers ask about Tax invoicing.

The one the country's tax authority requires wherever Cord already issues it, or a standard invoice with each line's tax where nothing else is required. Several tax-authority registries are in beta; until they go live for your account, the invoice goes out as a standard invoice or pro forma, never with a tax status that was not generated.

Yes. POST /api/v1/facturas creates a draft and POST /api/v1/facturas/{id} with action finalize issues it. The same route accepts send, payment, void and credit_note.

Yes, wherever the country's e-invoicing is live for your account: Cord signs or stamps it with your tax credentials, files it with the authority and returns the PDF, the XML and the identifier the authority sends back. Where it is still in beta, the invoice goes out as a standard invoice or pro forma.

A standard invoice with each line's tax, such as sales tax, GST or VAT, which is the usual document where the authority does not require its own electronic format. It has its own payment link, accepts partial payments and fires the same events over the API.

The integration with that authority is built and tested against its official specifications, but it is not live for accounts yet. Meanwhile, the invoice goes out as a standard invoice or pro forma, and Cord never shows a tax status that was not generated.

The invoice keeps the tax status "error" and is not marked as issued. You see it in the app and over the API, and can fix the data and issue again.
