Createsome Community x OpenFiskal: From your first POS setup to your last Z-Report

Shopify POS is a powerful platform for in-person retail. Flexible, intuitive, and directly connected to your online store.

But here’s what many underestimate: in Germany, that alone isn’t enough. TSE integration, Z receipts, DSFinV-K exports, and—starting in 2025—the mandatory cash register declaration are legally required and must be implemented correctly.

And then there are all the practical questions: What hardware do I actually need? How do I set everything up properly? How do I train my staff to keep things running smoothly day to day? And is there someone who can come on-site to install and configure it all?

To make sure merchants don’t have to handle this alone, we’re now partnering with Createsome Community—one of the leading Shopify agencies in Germany, offering full-service support for Shopify POS from start to finish.

By the way: OpenFiskal also works completely independently of Createsome Community. But if you’re launching Shopify POS or need a complete setup, working with an experienced agency like Createsome Community can make all the difference.

Createsome Community: More than just good design

Createsome Community is based in Dresden and has worked for years with merchants, brands, and startups building on Shopify. What sets them apart:

• POS setup and hardware consulting: From iPads to cash drawers, everything tailored for Shopify POS

• UX, branding, and store design: Whether online or in-store, the brand experience stays consistent

• Product data and staff training: So that not just the look works, but the day-to-day operations too

• Fulfillment and print: The final touches, from shipping labels to packaging

• Accessibility: Because great shops should work for everyone

When you work with Createsome Community, you don’t get a patchwork of services—you get a solution that fits.

OpenFiskal: Keeping things compliant behind the scenes

While Createsome Community handles the setup, OpenFiskal ensures that every part of your POS is fully compliant with German law:

• Automated TSE integration directly from Shopify POS

• Digital Z receipts and DSFinV-K exports that pass audits

• Built-in cash book functionality that’s audit-proof

• Automatic cash register declarations to the tax authority (mandatory from 2025)

All without additional hardware, extra tools, or manual spreadsheets.

What a typical project looks like

1. Kickoff with Createsome Community: The merchant wants to launch or improve Shopify POS. Createsome Community reviews the current setup, business processes, and requirements.

2. POS hardware & design: The right hardware is selected, configured, and aligned with the store’s design. Staff are trained.

3. Connect OpenFiskal: Once the first receipt is issued via Shopify POS, OpenFiskal takes over the fiscal compliance—automatically.

4. Ongoing support & further development: Both partners remain available for questions and help with edge cases like opening new locations, handling audits, or managing topics like deposit tracking (Pfand).

Who this is perfect for

This solution is ideal for merchants who:

• operate one or more brick-and-mortar locations

• already use Shopify or are in the process of switching

• don’t have an internal IT or accounting department

• want clarity and confidence in case of a tax audit

Whether it’s a concept store, pop-up, festival booth, or flagship location—Createsome Community and OpenFiskal deliver a solution that fits.
