See every featureFairInvoice does one job properly: it creates accurate invoices for every order and delivers them automatically. Taxes are calculated line by line and rounding is unit-tested, so the totals on your invoices match your orders to the cent. Invoice and credit note numbers are sequential and gapless, the way accountants expect. Once issued, a document never changes.
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.
