See every featureDocufacture prepares your store for Europe's e-invoicing mandates. Every paid order automatically becomes a compliant invoice: Factur-X, XRechnung and ZUGFeRD, validated against EN 16931, numbered gaplessly, and emailed to your customer. Refunds create credit notes on their own. Bulk printing merges up to 1,000 invoices or packing slips into one warehouse-ready PDF.
From 2027, German businesses with prior year turnover above €800k must issue domestic B2B invoices electronically, and from 2028 almost all. Faktwise turns paid orders into e-invoices automatically: ZUGFeRD PDFs with embedded XML, and XRechnung with Leitweg-ID. Amount and tax are checked against what Shopify charged. If something doesn't match, the order waits for you.
