On this page
Manage all basic configurations of your Easy Invoices account in the settings.
Invoice Numbering
Configure your number format with a customizable prefix (e.g., INV-) and optional year prepending. Important: Numbering is locked after the first invoice to ensure GoBD compliance.
Timezone & Language
Set your shop's timezone so invoice dates are formatted correctly. The invoice language is automatically set based on your shop locale.
Company Details & Address
Enter your company name, full business address, tax number, and VAT ID. This data automatically appears on every invoice.
Tax Scheme (Kleinunternehmer / Differenzbesteuerung)
If you operate under a special German tax scheme, select it under Settings > General (or during onboarding). The app supports three options:
Standard – default behavior, regular VAT is shown on invoices.
Kleinunternehmen (§19 UStG) – no VAT is charged. Every invoice and credit note automatically carries the mandatory note “Gemäß § 19 UStG wird keine Umsatzsteuer berechnet (Kleinunternehmerregelung).”. It appears directly below the totals — you do not need to add it manually.
Differenzbesteuert (§25a UStG) – margin scheme for used-goods dealers. Every invoice/credit note automatically carries the mandatory note “Die Lieferung unterliegt der Differenzbesteuerung nach § 25a UStG. Ein Ausweis der Umsatzsteuer erfolgt daher nicht (Gebrauchtgegenstände/Sonderregelung).”. Per §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 2 UStG every invoice must show either your Steuernummer or your USt-IdNr – the app prevents saving until at least one of the two fields is filled in. Important: for the margin scheme to be correctly applied to your figures, products in Shopify must be priced as gross amounts without separately reported VAT. If you primarily sell Kunstgegenstände or Sammlungsstücke/Antiquitäten and need a different statutory formulation, contact support.
Bank Details
Store your IBAN, BIC, and account holder name. Bank details are displayed in the footer of every invoice.
Upfront Payments
Configure how upfront payments are handled on invoices – relevant for shops with deposit models.
