What your current billing setup costs every week.
Three line items that never appear on an invoice – but that you pay every quarter.
-
Engineering time
Your product team is building billing instead of product.
Twelve documented blueprints with ready-made API calls – your first invoice goes out in hours.
-
Compliance risk
Tax and invoice errors only surface at the customer or at closing time.
Every invoice is Schematron-validated before it leaves; the tax logic for 2006/112/EC is built in.
-
Lost revenue
Failed payments and open receivables are chased manually.
Dunning and R-transaction routing run automatically – failed payments come back on their own.
Four systems you no longer have to build yourself.
Each system replaces a project of its own on your roadmap – built, audited, and made for Europe.
-
Monetize
Catalog, versioned pricing, usage, tiers, promotions.
usage.reported × price.v12 → line_items- Product catalog with full version history
- Usage metering: millions of events, never double-counted
- Tiered pricing, bundles, and promotions with guardrails
-
Invoice & tax
EU VAT, XRechnung, FX pinning, proration.
DE 19% · FR 20% · B2B 0% (reverse charge)- XRechnung, Schematron-validated before sending
- 2,184 tax rules per 2006/112/EC, versioned
- FX pinning and day-exact proration built in
-
Collect & recover
Stripe, SEPA, dunning, wallets.
sepa.collect → retry[d+3] → recovered- SEPA direct debit and cards via Stripe & GoCardless
- AI dunning with R-transaction routing
- Wallets with holds and prepaid balances
-
Close & audit
Settlements, ledger, RevRec, DATEV, audit trail.
ledger.sign → export(DATEV) → close(Q3)- Signed ledger: every step replayable
- Revenue recognition per IFRS 15 / ASC 606
- DATEV export and GoBD-compliant archiving

Where Kontorion wins, and where it doesn't.
Lago, Chargebee and Hyperline are solid products, but they weren't built for EU market requirements. You'll notice the first time you close an OSS quarter.
