France-specific e-invoicing settings in Avalara and Zuora by preparing required identifiers, configuring seller and buyer data, and validating billing document setup.

France is part of Zuora's Avalara country coverage expansion, and the France package is intended to provide pre-integrated support for invoices, credit memos, and debit memos through Avalara. France is a mandatory e-invoicing market, with B2G already in effect and domestic B2B rollout starting on September 1, 2026 for large and mid-size companies and on September 1, 2027 for SMEs and micro-entities.

For the France pre-integrated package, Zuora currently targets Avalara with the Clearance process and UBL as the supported outbound format. The supported download types for the France package are XML, PDF, UBL_XML, UBL_FLOW1_XML, and UBL_FLOW2_XML.

Before you begin, make sure you have the France-specific identifiers required for both seller and buyer data. For the current France setup, you must provide the SIREN number, the FR-prefixed SIRET number, and the Addressing Line Identifier, together with the required schema identifiers used by Avalara during France activation.
