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.
