STEP 6 : SEND YOUR INVOICES IN PHOTOS IN THE APPLICATION
Once you have obtained your invoices from the shops or online, you need to send them to us via our mobile app by clicking on the refund request you have previously created.
STEP 7 : COMPLETED PURCHASES? GENERATE YOUR BARCODE
Once you have completed your purchases and scanned all your invoices into the application, you must generate your barcode to be scanned at a PABLO terminal. You will also receive by email your tax-free slip to print if you need to have it stamped by customs.
STEP 8 : SCAN THE BARCODE OR HAVE THE FORM STAMPED
There are terminals called 'PABLO' which can automatically scan your barcode at most airports/railways. If you are leaving the EU through a country other than France, or if your place of departure in France does not have PABLO machines, you must print the form and have it stamped by a customs officer.
STEP 9 : GET YOUR REFUND !
You're done! If you have successfully scanned the barcode, we will send you the refund as soon as possible, make sure you have added your refund method in the app.If you have had your tax-free form stamped, send us a photo on the app.
