1B2B and B2G are the current focus
Those are the transaction types the mandate covers in its first phases.
Not at the moment. The initial focus is on business-to-business and business-to-government transactions, with consumer sales excluded until a later phase is announced — and that last clause is the part worth paying attention to.
Four things worth understanding properly before you spend money on anything.
Those are the transaction types the mandate covers in its first phases.
Guidance consistently frames B2C as out of scope until a later phase, rather than permanently excluded.
Corporate accounts, catering, trade customers and supplier invoices all sit on the business side of the line.
The customer data and system work you do for your B2B side will serve you if the exclusion narrows later.

No, not currently. The mandate covers business-to-business and business-to-government transactions at this stage.
The exclusion is described as applying until a later phase is announced, so it would be unwise to plan on it being permanent.
Your counter sales are outside for now, but trade customers, corporate accounts and incoming supplier invoices are in scope.
Most businesses will need something sitting between their sales desk and their Accredited Service Provider — a system that creates a proper structured invoice, holds the customer data the standard demands, and keeps a record an auditor will accept. That is what we build, and because we build it ourselves we can shape it around your business rather than asking you to reshape your business around a product.
