Detailed Review
Dokapi describes itself as the API layer for e-invoicing: one integration for networks like Peppol, formats like XRechnung and Factur-X, and local compliance rules in 30+ countries. The homepage states it processes more than 70 million documents a year and is ISO 27001 certified.
The privacy policy names Dokapi as an activity of Dok-api BV in Mechelen, registered in Belgium. The company page says Dokapi was created as an independent company after earlier services grew, and the footer lists an office in Berlin.
Validation Before Sending
Every invoice is validated against country-specific rules before processing, according to the homepage. Catching errors early is meant to prevent rejections from business partners and tax authorities.
Reading Incoming Invoices
The platform accepts XML, UBL, PDF and scanned images, extracts data with OCR and learning models, and routes the result by country, format and business rule. The homepage claims 97 percent accuracy, which is the vendor figure and not independently checked.
Pay as You Go
The approach section states that there are no commitments and that you pay for what you use. The pricing itself is not shown on the pages reviewed.
Limitations to Consider
Prices are not published, so the cost per document cannot be compared. Dokapi is built for software vendors and ERP integrators, so a small company needs a partner to use it. The accuracy percentages on the homepage are vendor claims. The hosting location is not stated on the pages reviewed. For a ready web portal see B2Brouter.

ERP and accounting software vendors, and larger finance teams with an integration partner, that want Peppol and invoice extraction through one API.
