Features

Everything Shopify POS needs to trade compliantly in Germany.

OpenFiskal puts fiscalisation, receipts, daily cash operations, reporting and audit exports directly around Shopify POS. No second point of sale system, no extra hardware.

How it fits together

From the sale to the tax audit

  1. 01

    Sale

    The Shopify POS workflow stays exactly as it is.

  2. 02

    Fiscalisation

    Signed by the cloud TSE at the moment of entry.

  3. 03

    Receipt

    Printed, emailed or shown as a QR code at the till.

  4. 04

    Daily closing

    Z-report as a PDF, straight from POS data.

  5. 05

    Accounting

    Cash book and CSV export for your bookkeeping.

  6. 06

    Audit

    DSFinV-K export for cash register inspections.

Sell compliantly

Every transaction signed, every receipt complete

The legal requirements apply at the moment of sale. OpenFiskal handles them in the background without changing anything at the till.

KassenSichV in daily operation

Signed at the moment of entry, stored tamper proof and kept auditable for ten years.

All transaction types

Sales, returns, exchanges, split payments, open orders, mixed tax rates, tips and discounts are all signed.

Receipts in three formats

Printed on any Shopify POS printer, emailed through Shopify itself, or shown as a QR code at the till. Always with the TSE signature and the mandatory details.

Daily operations

Open, run and close the day cleanly

Cash, daily closing and multi location work come together in the app instead of in a spreadsheet at month end.

Cash book

Every float change, payout and deposit is logged with a reason and a timestamp, updated daily.

View details

One cash book per location

Locations are kept apart so each store has its own traceable cash record.

CSV export for accounting

GoBD compliant CSV export at the press of a button, ready for your bookkeeping.

Report, export, verify

Ready for whatever the tax office asks for

Registration duties and audit documents are prepared before anyone requests them.

Register notification to the tax office

Since July 2025 every electronic register must be reported. TSE serial number, BSI certification ID, commissioning date and eAS serial number are shown with a copy button for ELSTER.

Submission with Meldefluss

For more convenience, our second app Meldefluss provides PDF and XML export or submission to ELSTER.

DSFinV-K export

Standard format export for cash register inspections and tax audits, available at any time.

Auditable records

All records stay tamper proof and traceable down to the individual register.
