Instead of phase4

phase4 alternatives

phase4 is an embeddable Java library for sending and receiving AS4 messages, with built-in support for Peppol and CEF eDelivery and documentation for additional profiles. It is free, open source, and suited to teams that want to add AS4 messaging to an existing on-premise system. Configuration can use application.properties, system properties, or environment variables, with JKS or PKCS12 keystores and truststores. It also offers API access and supports UBL.

That approach calls for manual integration and Java 17 or later; Java 21 or later is recommended for performance. The project does not implement AS4 multi-hop or split and join, and its testing guide requires an official Peppol AP certificate to test with an existing provider. Alternatives span invoicing platforms, standalone gateways, and access-point services. Compare the networks and formats you need, whether you want a library or ready-made workflows, the integration and deployment model, and whether each product’s price and plan suit your use.
