Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureEU merchants selling across borders face complex VAT rules, country-specific invoice requirements, and legal mentions that differ by jurisdiction. Faktura solves this by generating legally compliant PDF invoices automatically whenever an order is placed. It handles B2B reverse charge with VIES VAT ID validation, micro-entreprise exemptions, digital vs physical goods VAT rules, and OSS threshold tracking.
Stop guessing your VAT liability on shipping. Get precise, weight-based tax breakdowns in seconds. If you sell mixed-rate products to the EU, calculating the VAT due on your shipping income is a nightmare. Tax authorities require you to split the shipping VAT proportionally based on the value or weight of the goods in the box. Doing this manually for hundreds of orders is impossible.
