Yes, Easy Invoices is specifically designed for collaboration with accountants. You can create monthly or annual exports as ZIP files and send them directly via email. The automated scheduler can send these exports automatically on a regular basis. ### Where is my data stored? All data is stored exclusively in Germany on servers in German data centers. The infrastructure is fully GDPR-compliant and meets all German data protection requirements. ### How are invoices sent to customers? Two options: (1) Use your own SMTP server for emails from your domain, or (2) Use our whitelabel SMTP service for easy setup. Both options include automatic sending after payment receipt. ### Is Easy Invoices GoBD-compliant? Yes. The app stores all invoices immutably for 10 years, logs all changes completely, and ensures invoices cannot be modified retrospectively. All exports are prepared for tax audits. ### What happens to my data after canceling? After cancellation, you have a 3-month grace period to export your data through support. After that, all data is automatically deleted. As a shop owner, you have the legal obligation to retain invoices for 10 years. ## Target Audience - Shopify merchants in the EU (especially Germany, Austria, Switzerland) - E-commerce businesses requiring GoBD compliance - Merchants who want to automate accountant handoffs - Stores selling internationally who need multi-language invoices - Businesses wanting to save 5+ hours per month on invoicing ## Technical Integration - Platform: Shopify App - Integration: Shopify webhooks for order events - Data Storage: PostgreSQL on EU servers (Germany) - File Storage: S3-compatible (MinIO) with encryption - Languages: German, English (app interface and invoices) --- ## Blog Articles ### Automatisierte Buchhaltung für Shopify: GoBD-konforme Rechnungsstellung mit Easy Invoices URL: https://easy-invoices.de/blog/automatisierte-buchhaltung-shopify-gobd-rechnungsstellung Published: 2026-09-04 Category: Buchhaltung & Recht Tags: Rechnungsstellung, Shopify, Shopify Buchhaltung, GoBD, DSGVO, DATEV, Steuerberater, Automatisierung, E-Commerce, Easy Invoices Erfahren Sie, wie Sie Rechnungsstellung und Buchhaltung in Shopify automatisieren, GoBD erfüllen und Ihren Steuerberater effizient unterstützen. --- ### Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR): Das müssen Onlinehändler jetzt wissen URL: https://easy-invoices.de/blog/packaging-and-packaging-waste-regulation-ppwr-onlinehandel Published: 2026-07-22 Category: E-Commerce Tags: PPWR, Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, Verpackungsverordnung, EU-Verordnung, Onlinehandel, Versand, Verpackungsgesetz, Verpackungen, EU-Versand, Nachhaltigkeit, Shopify, Shopify Apps, E-Commerce, Rechnungen, Compliance Erfahren Sie, was die PPWR für Onlinehändler bedeutet und worauf Sie beim Versand innerhalb der EU jetzt achten sollten. --- ### Shopify Gutschrift erstellen: Anleitung & automatische Lösung (2026) URL: https://easy-invoices.de/blog/shopify-gutschrift-erstellen-anleitung Published: 2026-07-10 Category: Shopify / Buchhaltung Tags: Gutschrift, Shopify, Buchhaltung, Rechnungen, E-Commerce, Automatisierung So erstellst du eine Gutschrift in Shopify.
