The AdE (Agenzia delle Entrate) is Italy’s tax authority responsible for managing tax collection and fiscal compliance. The documento commerciale (also known as scontrino elettronico) is a digital fiscal document that records sales transactions and transmits them to the AdE.Italian law requires businesses to transmit sales data digitally through either a certified Registratore Telematico (RT) or the AdE’s online portal. Smart Receipts streamlines this process by providing a secure interface to relay your sales data to the AdE through a local provider.Important distinctions for the Documento Commerciale:
  • It is not an invoice (fattura) - invoices require detailed buyer information and follow different tax rules.
  • It does not replace transport documents (documento di trasporto).
  • It is not a simple internal receipt - it serves an official fiscal function requiring AdE transmission.
  • It must include VAT at the time of sale - deferred VAT payment is not permitted.
The AdE portal provides functionality to create tickets, void them entirely, and process refunds at the item level. Invopop’s Smart Receipts implementation supports all these operations, allowing you to manage your electronic tickets programmatically through our API or manually via the Console.
Smart Receipts (AdE CF) is not a substitute for SDI. Invopop works with SDI to issue electronic invoices using the FatturaPA and is the main tool available to issue electronic invoices in Italy. AdE CF should only be used when customer information is not available, like in online B2C scenarios.
