How can enterprises in the culture and Internet industry implement an invoicing interface?

Build a unified tax fully digitalized e-invoice management platform and deeply integrate it with NetEase's internal business systems: the platform connects to NetEase Cloud Classroom APP, NetEase Youdao Dictionary APP, and others, providing standard invoicing interfaces for one-click invocation by various business lines; after a user applies, the platform automatically calls the Leqi interface to complete invoicing, and returns invoice status and layout file links to the business system in real time, with order status automatically updated; all fully digitalized e-invoice XML/PDF/OFD files are automatically stored centrally, meeting China Golden Tax Phase IV compliance requirements.

What problems existed at NetEase before the launch of input-output invoice management?

Invoice issuance needs across multiple APPs are scattered; multiple business lines such as NetEase Cloud Classroom and Youdao Dictionary need to independently connect to tax interfaces, resulting in high repeated development and maintenance costs; data cannot be returned in a closed loop, and after invoices are issued, the status is not synchronized to the business system, causing order status delays that affect subsequent processes; compliance management is difficult, as fully digitalized e-invoice XML source files are stored in a scattered manner and hard to archive uniformly, creating tax risks.

What results were achieved after the launch of NetEase's input-output invoice management project?

Provide its hundreds of millions of users with a consistent, fast "invoice upon transaction" experience across APPs; each APP does not need to repeatedly develop tax interfaces, and unified platform access reduces R&D costs; invoice status is synchronized in real time, supporting automatic refunds and optimized return processes.
