15 ratingsTurn your WooCommerce orders into compliant electronic invoices: generate XML and PDF for free, then send them to SdI (Italy), PEPPOL (Belgium and the EU), KSeF (Poland) or ZUGFeRD (Germany).
POP collects the fiscal data at checkout, generates the invoice from each order, handles numbering, VAT treatment and credit notes, and transmits the structured XML to the official network, all from one WordPress workflow, with free and paid plans.
Get started without an account
Install the plugin and start generating compliant XML and PDF invoices right away, at no cost, with no account and no setup step required. A free monthly generation allowance is included out of the box.
When you’re ready to send documents through a supported network like SdI, PEPPOL or KSeF, or connect a provider such as Fatture in Cloud, Aruba, Zoho or PEC, a short setup wizard built directly into the plugin guides you through connecting your free POP account, right inside your WordPress admin.
Every plan, including Free, can use every supported network and integration. Your plan sets your monthly credit allowance, not which features you can use.
After you install
- Generate XML and PDF invoices from your orders straight away, without an account, within the free monthly allowance.
- When you want to send to a network, a 4-step wizard connects a free POP account: email, one-time code, company details, pick a channel.
- Your first invoice reaches SdI (or PEPPOL / KSeF) from the same screen.

Full compliance solution:
- Italy and San Marino: structured XML invoice generation, SdI transmission, and electronic signature or compliant archiving where enabled by the selected workflow
- Belgium: structured B2B e-invoicing and PEPPOL transmission (mandatory for domestic B2B between VAT-registered businesses since January 1st, 2026)

For developers
POP also exposes a REST API, WP-CLI commands (wp popapi invoice search|get|xml|pdf) and an MCP endpoint for AI-assisted and scripted invoicing, plus WordPress Abilities for automation-aware workflows. The API powers the plugin itself; most stores never need to touch it.
Supported document formats
- Structured XML e-invoices, including UBL where applicable
- PDF invoice copies as human-readable representations
- XML and PDF credit notes, where supported by the selected workflow, on any plan including Free
- Fiscal receipts, where supported by the configured workflow

API credits and plans
POP is available in five plans: Free, Basic, Growth, Pro and Enterprise. The Free plan includes 10 API credits per month.
Every plan, including Free, can use every supported network and integration: SdI, PEPPOL, KSeF, ZUGFeRD, Zoho, Aruba, Fatture in Cloud and PEC are all available regardless of plan. Your plan sets your monthly credit allowance and overquota rate, not which features you can use.
A credit is the unit used to measure credit-consuming API operations, such as generating or validating XML, submitting a document to a supported network, applying an electronic signature or activating compliant archiving when enabled. Credit consumption depends on the operation performed, country and workflow.

Why POP
E-commerce invoicing is becoming more structured, more local and more connected to national systems. A WooCommerce store may need to collect the right fiscal data at checkout, generate XML invoices, submit documents through SdI, PEPPOL or KSeF, manage credit notes and keep invoice files available for accounting or customer support.
POP was created to make European e-invoicing easier for e-commerce teams: less manual work, fewer disconnected tools and a clearer path from order data to structured invoice documents.
We can’t make compliance sexy, only easier.

External services
This plugin is a client for POP (popapi.io), an e-invoicing service run by the same developer. Depending on the features you switch on, it also connects to the services below. It does not contact any other third-party service.
POP (popapi.io)
POP is the cloud service that builds the structured XML and PDF documents, sends them over the delivery channels (SdI, PEPPOL, KSeF, ZUGFeRD or Zoho via POP) and holds your account and plan. Generating documents works without an account, within a free monthly allowance; a POP account is needed to send documents and to use a paid plan.
What is sent, and when:
- Each time a document is generated (an invoice, a credit note, a receipt or a PDF, whether you ask for it or it runs automatically when an order reaches the status you chose): the order and fiscal data needed for the document (seller and customer details such as names, addresses, VAT and company numbers and contact details, order lines and amounts).
- When you send a document through a delivery channel, or check its delivery status: the document data or its identifier, with your license key.
- When you connect your account with the setup wizard: the e-mail address you enter, the one-time code, your company and fiscal details, the country and channels you choose, the consents you tick and the name of this plugin, so we know which POP plugin the account was created from.
- When your license or plan is checked or refreshed (after connecting, and when you save the license settings): your site title and address, the plugin and WordPress versions and your license key.
- Only if you turn on “Share anonymous usage data” (off by default): your site address, the versions of POP, WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP, the site language and whether it is a multisite. They are sent once when you turn it on and then about once a week, or when the plugin version changes. Turning it off stops it immediately.
- If you send feedback in the deactivation survey while your account is connected: the reason you choose, your optional message and your site address.
- When you open the plugin’s settings page, the plugin retrieves short notices published by POP. This is a read-only request that sends no site data.

VIES (European Commission)
When VAT number validation is switched on in the plugin settings (or when you validate a VAT number manually), the plugin asks the European Commission’s VIES service whether an EU VAT number is valid. Only the VAT number (country code and number) is sent, at the moment it is checked.
Service provided by the European Commission: VIES VAT number validation, Legal notice, Privacy policy.
Fatture in Cloud
Only if you switch on the Fatture in Cloud integration. The plugin sends the invoice, credit note or receipt data of your orders to Fatture in Cloud (api-v2.fattureincloud.it), using the account you authorise, to create the document there and, if you enable that option, to keep stock in sync. It is sent when a document is created or updated and when you connect the account.
Service provided by Fatture in Cloud: Terms, Privacy policy.
Aruba Business
Only if you switch on the Aruba Business integration. The plugin sends the invoice XML to Aruba’s e-invoicing web service (ws.fatturazioneelettronica.aruba.it), signing in with your Aruba credentials, so that it is transmitted to SdI, and asks for its delivery status. It is sent when you send an invoice and when its status is checked.
Service provided by Aruba: Terms and conditions, Privacy policy.
SdI via PEC
Only if you switch on SdI via PEC. The plugin sends the invoice XML by e-mail, through the SMTP server and the certified mailbox (PEC) you configure, to the SdI address. No POP or other third-party server takes part: the mail provider is your own.
Slack (optional notifications)
Only if you enter a Slack token and channel in the settings of the Fatture in Cloud, Aruba or SdI via PEC integrations. The plugin posts short status or error messages about the invoices the integration sends (for example when sending an invoice fails) to Slack (slack.com/api/chat.postMessage).
Service provided by Slack: Terms of service, Privacy policy.
Requirements
PHP: >= 7.4
WordPress: >= 4.6
Do I need to create an account to use POP?
No. You can install the plugin and start generating XML and PDF invoices right away, with no account and no setup step, within a free monthly generation allowance.
Creating a free POP account is only needed when you want to send documents through a supported network like SdI, PEPPOL or KSeF, or connect a provider such as Fatture in Cloud, Aruba, Zoho or PEC. A short setup wizard built into the plugin guides you through it, right inside your WordPress admin.
Is the POP plugin free?
Yes. POP offers a Free plan that includes 10 API credits per month, and every supported network and integration is available on it: the Free plan is not limited to a smaller feature set.
A credit is the unit used to measure credit-consuming API operations. Some plugin features are included without credit consumption, while operations such as XML generation, transmission, electronic signature or archiving may consume credits depending on the configured workflow.
To unlock more credits, you can activate a paid plan.
Why does POP use API credits instead of “invoices per month”?
POP is an e-invoicing compliance product. A single invoice may involve multiple compliance actions, such as:
- Generating and validating XML
- Submitting XML to a supported network such as SdI, PEPPOL or KSeF
- Applying an electronic signature, if enabled
- Activating compliant archiving, if enabled
Each credit-consuming operation uses API credits according to your monthly allowance and configured workflow.
Can I automatically send invoices to supported e-invoicing networks?
Yes, on any plan including Free. POP can integrate with supported networks such as SdI, PEPPOL and KSeF, automating the transmission of structured XML invoices directly from your e-commerce workflow.
Available networks depend on the country, endpoint and configured integration. Your plan determines your monthly credit allowance, not which networks you can use.
Is it possible to customize invoices generated with POP?
Yes. You can customize the PDF invoice template by adding your company logo and custom footer text.
You can also configure invoice prefix, suffix and progressive numbering.
Does POP support invoicing for foreign customers?
Yes. POP supports EU and international customers and can route structured XML through supported networks.
Regulatory requirements may vary by jurisdiction, transaction type and business case. Users should verify the specific obligations that apply to them.
Is it possible to generate credit notes with POP?
Yes, on any plan including Free. POP supports credit note generation where enabled by the country and workflow.
What happens if I run out of credits?
This answer applies to the WordPress open source version of POP.
- Free plan: the service stops when credits are exhausted.
- Paid plans: overquota is allowed. Extra API operations are charged according to your plan’s overquota rate.
You can upgrade your plan at any time to increase your monthly credit quota.
Please note that credit enforcement rules may differ on non-open-source platforms.
Can I use POP only to generate XML invoices without network submission?
Yes. POP can be used for XML invoice generation and validation without network submission, and without creating an account, within a free monthly generation allowance.
Network submission, digital signature and compliant archiving are optional capabilities depending on your workflow and country configuration, and are available on every plan including Free.
Does the plugin offer customer support?
Yes. For support requests, you can contact us directly through the support link in the plugin or open a ticket from our official website.
Does the plugin send any data when it’s activated?
No. Activating the plugin sends nothing. What is sent to POP’s servers is what the service needs to work (generating and sending documents, and connecting your account), listed in the “External services” section below. Anonymous usage data (your site address and the versions of POP, WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP, the site language and whether it is a multisite) is shared only if you turn on “Share anonymous usage data”. It is off by default, you can be asked at the end of the account setup wizard and in the General settings tab, and you can turn it off at any time. No fiscal, personal or business data is part of it.
