Can I use Recommand for sending only or also for receiving?

You choose whether to use Recommand for sending, receiving or both. Both options are supported.

When registering a company on Recommand, you can indicate whether the company will only send documents, or also wants to receive via Peppol (isSmpRecipient: true). Some integrators use Recommand only for sending invoices from their own software, while incoming invoices go through another package.

See the company registration endpoint in the API reference. The same option is also available when registering a company in the dashboard.
