Unifiedpost vs DDD: Finance Platform or Compliance APIs

Some providers deliver end-user platforms to run full finance workflows, while others offer API-first infrastructure that embeds compliance invisibly into existing software.

Unifiedpost is an end-user platform for businesses and the public sector covering invoicing, payments, and financial workflows, with e-invoicing and e-reporting compliance in 60+ countries. DDD Invoices is an API-first, white-label compliance infrastructure that software vendors embed to issue and submit compliant e-invoices directly from their own products, with a dashboard mainly for monitoring.

Unifiedpost: Modular workflow suite

Unifiedpost is a digital business platform designed to help businesses, accountants and public institutions manage invoicing, payments and financial document workflows in a single modular environment. It enables companies to create, send, receive and store invoices across multiple channels while meeting e-invoicing and e-reporting requirements in more than 60 countries.

Strengths

• End-user platform for invoicing, payments, procure-to-pay and order-to-cash
• Creation and conversion of invoices into local and network-required formats
• Multi-channel distribution (Banqup network, Peppol, third-party networks, email, print and post)
• Payment enablement with QR codes and payment buttons
• Procure-to-pay automation for inbound invoices
• Digital archiving and document management
• Broad compliance coverage across 60+ countries

Target users

• SME and enterprise businesses
• Accounting firms and finance teams
• Public sector and B2G users
• Organizations wanting a single operational finance platform

Limitations

• Portal- and app-centric model rather than invisible infrastructure
• Less suitable for software vendors seeking a standardized, fully white-label, embedded compliance layer
• Broader scope may be unnecessary for teams focused only on invoicing compliance

DDD Invoices: Embedded compliance API

DDD Invoices is an API-first e-invoicing and fiscalization infrastructure built to let companies issue and receive compliant invoices directly from their own software. Invoice and billing data is transformed into locally compliant formats and submitted to tax authorities, Peppol or business networks, with the dashboard primarily used for monitoring and control.

Strengths

• API-first, white-label architecture designed to stay invisible behind the partner’s UI
• Standardized multi-country handling of local XML formats, Peppol BIS and fiscal PDFs with QR codes
• Direct submission to tax authorities and e-invoicing networks
• Real-time or periodic reporting depending on the local regime
• Secure archiving for legally required retention periods
• Quick and simple single API integration approach reused across multiple markets

Target users

• Software providers (ERP, SaaS, marketplaces, billing platforms) embedding invoicing
• Companies operating in one or multiple regulated markets
• Multi-entity businesses needing standardized compliance infrastructure

Limitations

• Intentionally focused on e-invoicing, e-reporting and tax compliance
• Does not aim to replace full procure-to-pay or payment platforms
• Narrower functional scope compared to end-to-end finance suites

Understanding the Core Difference

Unsure About Your Invoice Compliance?

Fiscal and e-invoicing requirements are primarily found across EU countries, where many governments already mandate structured electronic invoices and tax authority reporting.

This trend will become EU-wide by 2030 under the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) regulation, making compliant e-invoicing mandatory for all member states.

For a detailed country by country overview, see our E-Invoicing in Europe 2026 Guide or explore individual country requirements.

Strategic Choice of Provider

Choose Unifiedpost if:

• You want a ready-made platform your team logs into to send, receive, approve and pay invoices
• You need procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, payment enablement and collaboration with accountants in one system
• You prefer a single vendor-run interface for broad financial operations beyond invoicing compliance

Choose DDD Invoices if:

• You want to embed compliant invoicing into existing software or workflows
• You need an API-first, white-label compliance layer that stays invisible behind your product
• You want one standardized API to handle e-invoicing, fiscalization and reporting across multiple markets while keeping control of UI, monetization and rollout

In short:
Unifiedpost centralizes finance operations in an end-user platform.
DDD Invoices embeds compliance as infrastructure inside your product.
