Problem & solution

Manual ELSTER vs. Meldefluss

Three reasons merchants don't regret the switch.

The problem: ELSTER is a nightmare

With Meldefluss

Time-consuming & complex

Entering each register manually into ELSTER eats up hours and patience.

1-click automation

Meldefluss detects all your Shopify registers automatically and transmits the data instantly.

Error-prone

A single typo in your TSE data can trigger tax-office follow-ups – or in the worst case, fines.

100% compliant

Data is pulled directly from your OpenFiskal TSE. No manual transcription errors possible.

Expensive accountant fees

Outsourcing the report to your tax advisor costs hundreds of euros every year.

Cost-efficient

File the report yourself in seconds, or export clean XML for your accountant.
