Problem

Month-end shouldn't mean retyping Shopify

Your advisor wants a DATEV file. Shopify gives you order exports and payout reports. In between sits a spreadsheet: split 19% and 7% baskets by hand, look up the account for every country, find last month's refunds, explain to the advisor why the totals differ by a few cents.

That spreadsheet costs hours every month and breaks the moment something unusual happens: a refund for an order from March, a customer in Austria, a PayPal payment next to Shopify Payments.

The app replaces the spreadsheet with a rule set your advisor can read and change.

What the app does

What the app does and how it works

The app reads your Shopify orders and refunds for the period you choose. The tax engine assigns each line a revenue account, tax rate and counter account. The result is a DATEV booking batch (EXTF 700) that your advisor imports. Nothing is saved on our servers on the way.

Tax engine

What the tax engine solves

Account assignment

Revenue accounts are chosen by delivery country and tax rate: Germany at 19%, 7% and 0%, EU destinations under OSS, third countries. Counter accounts follow the payment method: Shopify Payments, PayPal or a collective account. Your advisor can overwrite all of it in the settings.

Mixed tax rates

A basket with 19% and 7% items is split into separate booking lines, one per rate. Shipping is booked at the tax rate of its shipping line; if the order has none, at the dominant rate of the order. Cents are rounded without floating-point errors, so the batch adds up.

Refunds in the right period

A refund becomes its own credit booking dated on the day of the refund, even if the purchase was months ago. It is not netted against the original sale, so each month stays correct.

OSS and third countries

EU deliveries under OSS and third-country deliveries get their own revenue accounts instead of landing in German revenue. A tax-free (0%) delivery to an EU country is booked on the third-country account.

More than 60 days back

Shopify normally limits apps to the last 60 days of orders. This app has the read_all_orders permission, approved by Shopify, so catching up on a whole year works.

No item filter, on purpose

The booking batch has to contain every sale of the period. Leave products out and your tax advisor is missing revenue and VAT, and the batch no longer reconciles with your Shopify payouts. The app also books per order by tax rate, not per item: a basket with 19% and 7% items becomes two bookings. If you want item figures, Shopify has them under Analytics → Reports → Sales by product.

Example: default accounts of SKR 03 and SKR 04, overridable in the firm settings
Case	SKR 03	SKR 04
Revenue accounts by delivery country and tax rate
Germany, 19%	8400	4400
Germany, 7%	8300	4300
Germany, 0% (tax-exempt)	8200	4200
EU delivery (OSS)	8320	4320
Third country (also tax-free EU delivery)	8120	4120
Counter accounts by payment method
Shopify Payments	1361	1461
PayPal	1362	1462
Collective account (other payment methods)	1360	1460
Everything can be overridden in the firm settings.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I export Shopify orders to DATEV?

Install DATEV Export & Steuern, choose a period and download the booking batch. It is a DATEV-importable CSV (EXTF 700) that your advisor can import into DATEV.

Does the app work for tax law outside Germany?

No. It is built for German tax law only: SKR 03 and SKR 04, DATEV EXTF 700 and German tax rates. OSS and third-country deliveries are treated from the point of view of a German merchant.

Which chart of accounts does the app use?

SKR 03 and SKR 04. You choose one in the settings, and your advisor can override any revenue or counter account.

Which file format does the export have?

DATEV format EXTF 700 as a CSV with semicolon separators and UTF-8 with BOM.

How are refunds from previous months booked?

Each refund becomes its own credit booking dated on the refund date, not on the date of the original order. It is not netted against the original revenue, so closed months stay untouched.

How does the app handle orders with 19% and 7% VAT?

Mixed baskets are split into separate booking lines per tax rate. Shipping is booked at the tax rate of its shipping line; if the order has none, at the dominant rate of the order.

Does it support OSS and deliveries to non-EU countries?

Yes. Revenue accounts are assigned by delivery country and tax rate, including EU-OSS and third-country deliveries.

Can I export orders older than 60 days?

Yes. The app has the read_all_orders permission approved by Shopify, so you can pick any period, including earlier years.

Does the app store my customer data?

No. Orders are processed in memory and not saved on our servers. Consultant and client number stay in your browser.

How much does DATEV Export & Steuern cost?

$14.99 per month, with 7 days free to try. Billing goes through Shopify.

Does the app book gift cards or vouchers?

No. The app does not handle them, so tell your advisor if you sell or accept them. Gift-card bookings can be added on request: write to hi@feelswebman.com.

Can I filter the export by product?

No, on purpose. The batch must contain all sales of the period, otherwise revenue and VAT are missing for your advisor and the reconciliation with your Shopify payouts fails. The app books per order by tax rate, not per item. For item figures use Shopify under Analytics → Reports → Sales by product.
