Configure e-invoicing service providers
To integrate with a third-party e-invoicing service provider, you must set it up as your e-invoicing service provider through the Zuora UI or REST API. For example, to connect with Sovos, you must obtain authentication keys from Sovos, and then set up Sovos as your e-invoicing service provider.
To configure and manage your e-invoicing service providers through the REST API, use the following operations:
- Create an e-invoicing service provider
- List e-invoicing service providers
- Retrieve an e-invoicing service provider
- Update an e-invoicing service provider
- Delete an e-invoicing service provider
Obtain authentication keys from Sovos
To use Sovos as your service provider, you must register with the Sovos platform and obtain authentication keys to gain access to Sovos e-invoicing services.
Follow the Sovos eInvoice Registration process to generate authentication keys, including an API key and a secret key. These keys are used in sending requests and engaging with Sovos API’s endpoints. Additionally, you have to use the authentication keys when configuring Sovos as your e-invoicing service provider in Zuora.
