Few invoices, booking from PDFs
If your tax firm books a handful of invoices a month from the PDFs and wants it that way, you need no file. Up to 25 invoices a month the export is free anyway - trying it costs nothing.

Comparison Built-in tools or a plugin?
Shopware knows documents, tax rates and payment statuses - but it writes no file that DATEV reads in. What the standard brings and what the plugin makes of it, line by line.
The Shopware standard and DATEV Export.
| Question | Shopware standard | DATEV Export |
|---|---|---|
| File for DATEV | CSV export of orders, but no DATEV format | EXTF booking batch, format version 13 |
| Tax key per booking | – | per account and tax case |
| Debtor accounts | customer number per customer, but no debtor account | collective debtor, per payment method, diverse addresses or per customer |
| Document field and link | – | document number in document field 1 (field 11), reference to the image in field 20 |
| Document images | invoice PDF on the order once it is created | ZIP with document.xml for the document transfer |
| OSS per destination country | tax rates per country in the tax rules | revenue account per country or collective account with a key |
| Cash-basis taxation | payment status on the order | booking on the payment date from the status history |
| Credit note and cancellation | as a document on the order | general reversal or side switch, refund booked only once money was actually paid back |
| Lock after the export | – | unbroken hash chain, duplicate protection across runs |
| Checking before the handover | – | preview, test export, check report, reconciliation |
| Tracing | – | protocol per document, "DATEV" tab on every order |
| Schedule and email | scheduled tasks, but no export | rhythm per tenant, email to the tax firm |
| Several companies | sales channels | one tenant per company with its own numbers and accounts |
When you manage without a plugin.
A tax firm without DATEV
The plugin writes the DATEV format. If your tax firm works with different bookkeeping software, it is not the right tool.
