Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFrom 2027 and 2028, invoices between businesses in Germany must be e-invoices, whether or not your customer has a VAT ID (§14(2) UStG). Faktora creates XRechnung and ZUGFeRD from every order, including gross prices, discounts and partial refunds; the format is tested with the official KOSIT validator. Refunds become credit notes, automatically if you like.
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.
