How it sells itself

Manually entering and reconciling orders is a thing of the past with this app. Every paid order is automatically converted into a correctly booked invoice, linked to your own general ledger accounts and the appropriate VAT rate. Payouts are reconciled automatically, including fees, refunds, and chargebacks, so your bookkeeping stays accurate without any manual work.

Wer einen Onlineshop betreibt, muss jede Bestellung einzeln in die Buchhaltung übertragen — das kostet Zeit und führt zu Fehlern.
