Topic summary
German Shopify merchants are seeking a DATEV integration or export solution for accounting compliance. DATEV is the standard accounting software used by German tax advisors and bookkeepers.
Key Requirements:
- Direct DATEV integration or GoBD-compliant export of all fiscally relevant transactions
- Support for POS cash movements, payment methods, invoices, and tax-compliant booking
- Proper handling of sales tax (OSS) for international sales
Current Solutions Being Used:
- Pathway Solutions is the most recommended third-party app, with multiple users reporting satisfaction and cost savings (€500/month in accounting fees)
- Billbee for invoice management combined with DATEV Upload Online
- LexOffice and sevDesk as alternatives with DATEV interfaces
Main Challenge:
POS cash register movements cannot be automatically exported because Shopify’s Cash API has limited functionality. Users must manually track cash transactions.
Recent Development (July 2024):
Pathway Team announced Shopify is expanding the Cash API, which will enable automatic cash movement tracking. Implementation with selected test customers is underway, with full rollout expected in approximately 4 weeks.
Users emphasize coordinating with tax advisors to ensure proper setup and compliance with German accounting regulations (GoBD).
