E-Invoicing for Shopware 5
Create e-invoices in XRechnung and ZUGFeRD format directly from your Shopware 5 shop compliant with European standards.
To obtain the plugin, please contact us. We are happy to provide you with a free trial version, no strings attached.
Plugin
The plugin integrates into the Shopware document creation process and generates a ZUGFeRD 2 PDF in the XRechnung profile from the invoice PDF generated by Shopware.
Administration
Configuration
Changes to the settings do not affect already created invoices. You must recreate documents for the changed settings to take effect.
The plugin uses information from the order, shop settings, and plugin settings to create the e-invoice.
To adjust the plugin settings, click on Basic Settings under Settings in the main navigation, then select E-Invoice under Additional Settings.
Together with the plugin you received a Server URL (1) and your personalised License Key (2). Enter both pieces of information in the corresponding fields.
The Company Name (3) must match the name you provided us for generating the license key.
If the company name entered does not match the company name provided to us for generating the license key, no e-invoices can be created. In that case, please get in touch with us.
Please also fill in the remaining fields. Additional information is available via the help icon next to each input field.
If you mark an invoice as tax-exempt, a Tax Exemption Category (4) and a Reason (5) for the exemption must be provided. Both settings can be configured here.
Notes on VAT Categories
For e-invoices related to intra-community supplies, tax category K is specified (VAT exemption for intra-community supplies of goods and services within the EEA). The reason for the tax exemption must be (at minimum) intra-community supply.
For e-invoices with Reverse Charge, tax category AE is specified. The reason for the tax exemption must be (at minimum) reverse charge.
If the e-invoice is tax-exempt, tax category E is specified in the e-invoice (no VAT declared). A VAT exemption reason must be provided as justification.
Create E-Invoice
To create an e-invoice, select Orders under Customers in the main navigation. Open the desired order and switch to the Documents tab. Select the desired configuration and click Create Document (5).
E-invoices are created for the Document Types (3) invoice, cancellation invoice, and credit note. If you mark an invoice as Tax-Exempt (4), the tax exemption category and reason configured in the plugin settings will be included in the e-invoice.
Each created e-invoice is validated for compliance with the XRechnung standard using the KoSIT Validator.
The E-Invoice (1) column in the Generated Documents table shows whether an e-invoice could be created, whether it is valid, or whether errors occurred. For document types for which no e-invoices are created, the column remains empty and shows no icon.
A green checkmark (2) means that a valid e-invoice was successfully created.
A grey checkmark (1) means a valid e-invoice was created, but warnings are present. Click the icon to open a window with detailed information.
Warnings should not cause the e-invoice to be rejected by the recipient. However, they indicate possible misconfigurations: check your plugin and shop settings, for example.
The validation results (1.1, 1.2) come directly from the KoSIT Validator and may, depending on the issue, also appear in English.
A yellow warning triangle (1) indicates an invalid e-invoice. Click the icon to open the window with detailed information.
If a critical error occurs, it is indicated by a red X (1). In this case, no e-invoice could be created. Click the icon to open the window with detailed information.
