Shopware's CSV export
It has no tax keys, no debtor accounts and no document field. Whatever is missing gets rebuilt in Excel.
DATEV export plugin for Shopware 6 The monthly handover, one click.
The plugin turns your shop's invoices, credit notes and cancellations into a finished DATEV booking batch for your tax firm: with debtors, document images and a protocol that explains every booking. Every month by itself, if you want.
Free in the Shopware Store How to set it up
25 invoices a month stay free, with no end date.
- Every tax caseOSS, cash-basis taxation, small business, EU business customers, non-EU sales and foreign currency.
- Test firstThe test export is a real file for the tax firm's trial import and locks no document.
- Nothing twiceThe next export skips documents that were already exported.
- No wrong fileIf the run finds an error, it writes nothing and says what to do.
Every month the same, and every time by hand.
The figures have to get out of the shop and into the books. The usual ways there cost time and create errors.
Typing from PDF invoices
The tax firm types the figures in from the invoices. That is slow and costs time at the firm.
An export for the ordinary case
As soon as OSS, cash-basis taxation, the small-business rule or credit notes come in, it is manual rework again.
Questions without answers
Afterwards nobody knows why a figure is in the file. Every question turns into a search through the orders.
From the document in Shopware to the import at the tax firm.
Set it up once, agree it with the tax firm, then the same way every month.
- Create the tenantThe assistant asks for what DATEV needs in five steps.
- Map the accountsDATEV's standard accounts are suggested for the revenue accounts.
- Run a previewShows documents, bookings and totals without creating a file.
- Agree a test exportA real file that locks nothing, for the tax firm's trial import.
- ExportBy hand or on a schedule; the schedule emails the file to the tax firm.
What was invoiced is what gets booked.
The basis is the Shopware document, not the order: the invoice, the credit note, the cancellation invoice. It is the view your tax firm takes anyway.
- An order without an invoice books no revenue; with the payment export on, its payment is booked and named separately in the check report.
- A cancelled invoice is booked as a cancellation - either as a general reversal or as a side switch.
- The document number from the shop sits in document field 1, cleaned to the characters DATEV accepts.
- Orders from before the installation count too; a catch-up run is possible at any time.
Every tax case is covered.
Not as a special route, but as a normal setting on the tenant. What the export cannot assign with certainty it does not guess; it reports it.
OSS
One revenue account per EU destination country or a collective account with a tax key, separate for goods and electronic services.
Cash-basis taxation
Booked on the real payment date from the status history; OSS and EU business customers stay on the invoice date.
Small businesses
Revenue under § 19 UStG onto its own account, as a switch on the tenant.
EU business customers
Tax-free intra-community supply and reverse charge to companies with a VAT ID, onto accounts of their own.
Outside the EU
Tax-free exports onto their account; a taxed delivery outside the EU is reported separately.
Credit notes and cancellations
The credit note corrects the revenue; the refund books only when money was really paid back.
Foreign currency
The amount in the document currency with the rate, plus the base amount in euros.
All tax cases
Which case gets which account and which key, on one page.
A file the way DATEV reads it in.
What comes out is the booking batch in the EXTF format that your tax firm can import directly, and everything that belongs with it.
- EXTF booking batch in format version 13, 125 fields per line, character set Windows-1252.
- Debtor master data or diverse addresses as a file of their own, matching the chosen debtor mode.
- Document images as a ZIP with a document.xml for document management, linked to the booking through the document link.
- Above 99,996 bookings several complete files are created, each with its own header and its own totals.

The format is right. Checked, not claimed.
On 27 August 2026 a real, binding export ran through the test program DATEV provides for its format. Result: no objection. The report read every header field the way it is meant.
The format check says that DATEV can read the file. Whether the bookings fit professionally is settled with the test export and your tax firm.
Better no file than a wrong one.
If the run finds something that would make a booking wrong, it writes nothing: no half file, no document locked. After the fix you simply run it again.
Preview
Works through the period without creating a file: documents, bookings and the debit and credit totals.
Test export
A real, complete file that locks nothing and can be repeated as often as needed.
Check report
Every finding by severity; notices can be ticked off. An error stops the export, a notice does not; each names the way to fix it.
Protocol and reconciliation
Every document with its outcome and reason, tax case, date and account; on top, the run checks itself for completeness.
The monthly handover runs by itself.
A scheduled task exports the period that is due and sends the file to the tax firm. You can see in the history that it worked.
- Daily, weekly or monthly, at the hour in the tenant's time zone.
- Email to the tax firm, also to a second address: the batch attached, the document packages as a link.
- A failed run is reported, on request an empty month as well.
- The same export as a console command for your own automation.
$ bin/console dvsn-datev:export --month=2026-08 DATEV export ------------ Mandant Muster Handels GmbH (…) Sales channels 2 Period 2026-08-01 - 2026-08-31 Bookings 1311 Booking volume (Soll + Haben) 642.180,50 EUR Run id … [OK] File stored: EXTF_Buchungsstapel_55001_2026… [OK] Master data stored: EXTF_Div-Adressen_55001_…
One sheet that explains everything to the tax firm.
One click on the export page creates a handout per tenant as a PDF, in German for the tax firm: master data, format, booking logic, every account in use and what the export deliberately leaves out. That way the agreement with the firm starts with an answer instead of a question.
- Ten sections, from the file header to the import into DATEV.
- The files of a handover and the order in which they are read in.
Locked and without gaps.
A binding run cannot be changed quietly. Every figure in the file traces back to the order.
A lock with a hash chain
Every binding export locks its documents and links itself into an unbroken chain.
Nothing twice
A duplicate check across all runs: by default a second export of the same period books nothing again.
A checksum per file
Every file handed over carries a SHA-256 checksum, plus a fingerprint across all booking and master data files of the run.
Start for free, grow with the shop.
The process is the same in every plan. The plan decides how many invoices a month go into the file and which settings take effect.

What shop owners and tax firms want to know.
Do I need a plugin for a DATEV export from Shopware?
Yes, as soon as your tax firm is meant to receive a booking batch it can import. Shopware's CSV export has no tax keys, no debtor accounts and no document field. The plugin writes the booking batch in the EXTF format that DATEV reads in, together with document images and debtors.
My tax advisor wants to check it before we switch over. Is that possible?
Yes, that is what the test export is for: a real, complete file that locks nothing and can be repeated as often as needed. Your tax firm imports it on a trial basis and reconciles it. A handout, one click away on the export page, explains every convention of the file to the firm.
What happens if I export a period twice?
A binding export locks its documents. A second export of the same period does not book them again unless you explicitly switch that on; a duplicate check runs across all runs. Preview and test export lock nothing.
We run several companies in one shop. Does that work?
Yes. Everything that concerns the bookkeeping belongs to a tenant: its own accounts, its own advisor and client number, its own schedule. The separation runs through the sales channels, and each tenant exports only what belongs to it.
Does this also work with very many orders?
Yes, regardless of the size of the shop. Large periods run step by step in small portions and are joined at the end; an interrupted run carries on where it stopped. A booking batch that is too large is split into several files, and the document images into several ZIP packages - each along the limits DATEV sets.
Are orders from before the installation included?
Yes. The basis is the documents in Shopware, not a log that starts on the day of installation. A catch-up run over past months or a whole fiscal year is possible at any time.
How does the file get to the tax firm?
You download it in the run history, or the schedule mails it to the firm. A binding run also includes the document packages as a ZIP and, with diverse addresses or individual debtors, the master data file.
Which charts of accounts are supported?
SKR03 and SKR04, with general ledger accounts of four to eight digits. For the revenue accounts DATEV's standard accounts are suggested; debtor and cash accounts come from your tax firm.
What does the export deliberately not book?
Only what lives in Shopware is booked. Payment provider fees, payouts and chargebacks appear on the bank statement, not in the order, so the export leaves them to the bookkeeping. Part payments without a reliable amount are named in the check report instead of being booked with the full amount.
Does this make the export correct for tax purposes?
The plugin creates booking data according to the DATEV conventions and shows in the protocol how every booking came about. The professional and legal responsibility stays with your tax advisor - which is exactly what the test export and the handout are for.
What does the plugin cost?
Up to 25 invoices a month it is free, with no end date. Starter costs €49.90 a month, Business €99.90, Enterprise €149.90; paid yearly it is €499, €999 and €1,499. Plus VAT.

A fit if …
- your books are kept by a tax firm that works with DATEV,
- doing the monthly handover by hand on the side no longer works,
- you sell into the EU or through several channels,
- several companies share one shop.
Not a fit if …
- your tax firm does not work with DATEV,
- your shop's system currency is not the euro,
- you want payment provider fees and payouts booked - those are on the bank statement.
The shop does the next monthly handover.
Set it up once with your tax firm, and with the schedule the monthly handover reaches your tax firm every month at the same hour.
