How to choose electronic invoicing software in the DR
By Equipo MosceUpdated July 27, 2026
Not all invoicing tools are equal. This is the checklist you should use to choose e-CF software that will not leave you stranded.
Updated July 27, 2026. The criteria are based on DGII requirements for electronic invoicing.
Choosing electronic invoicing software is not just about comparing prices. A bad choice forces you to migrate halfway through or leaves you non-compliant without realizing it. Use this checklist.
1. Certification as an issuer with the DGII
This comes first. The software must be certified as an electronic issuer with the DGII. If it is not, it cannot transmit valid e-CF, no matter how nice it looks.
2. Contingency: what happens if the connection drops
The DGII provides a contingency mode with a 72-hour window to transmit accumulated e-CF once service is restored. Good software invoices offline and transmits afterward, automatically. Ask about this explicitly: it is what separates a serious tool from one that stops you selling when the internet fails.
3. Receiving e-CF from your suppliers
You do not only issue: you also receive your suppliers' e-CF. The software should receive them, show them to you and help you manage them, not leave you checking the Virtual Office by hand.
4. The 606, 607 and 608 reports
The 606 (purchases), 607 (sales) and 608 (voided) formats are monthly filings with the DGII. Having your software generate them from your e-CF saves you hours and errors every month.
5. Printed Representation and QR code
Each e-CF needs its Printed Representation with a QR code to hand to the customer. Check that the software generates it in the format the DGII requires.
6. More than an invoicing tool
The invoice is the tip of the iceberg. If the same system handles inventory, point of sale, cash and accounting, you stop gluing separate tools together. That is where an ERP like Mosce differs from a standalone invoicing tool.
The free invoicing alternative
The DGII offers a free invoicing tool, useful for very low volumes. To understand when it is enough and when you outgrow it, read our comparison of electronic invoicing versus the DGII free tool.
Once your checklist is ready, compare Mosce's plans or review how to issue your first e-CF.
Frequently asked questions
What matters most when choosing an invoicing tool? That it is certified as an issuer with the DGII. Without that, nothing else matters.
Should the software handle contingency? If you care about not stopping sales when the connection fails, yes. The DGII defines a 72-hour window to transmit what accumulated.
Do I need it to generate the 606, 607 and 608? It is highly recommended. They are monthly filings and doing them by hand is slow and error-prone.
