Where it gets stuck

What usually holds up e-commerce bookkeeping

You probably know these spots better than any advisor. Four of them regularly cost the most time in the books.

  • Payouts instead of revenue: Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments pay out in bulk — we break the amount down into orders, fees and refunds.
  • Fees with rules of their own: transaction fees, marketplace commissions and currency surcharges arrive individually assigned, not as a lump sum.
  • Returns, vouchers, chargebacks: every reversal is an entry of its own — normal operation at your volume, not an exception.
  • Country of delivery, not country of residence: we separate by country from the start, so the OSS return follows directly from your books.
How it works

How it runs

From the connection to the filing — three steps we set up with you once.

Your part Step 1

Connect

Your shop, marketplaces, payment providers and business account are connected once. Over 2,500 banks are supported.

We handle it Step 2

Reconcile

Orders, payouts, fees and returns become a fully reconciled batch of entries, separated by tax rate and country of delivery.

We handle it Step 3

Post and file

boring posts to SKR 03 or SKR 04. The AI prepares, specialists review, and the tax advisors file and close the year.

Services

What is included

The ongoing work on your books, your filings and your annual accounts — with the e-commerce specifics accounted for from the start.

  • Ongoing bookkeeping to SKR 03 or SKR 04, receipts via upload, email or WhatsApp
  • E-commerce reporting with shipping costs, discounts and returns shown separately instead of lumped together
  • VAT returns and assessment by country of delivery, OSS-ready
  • E-invoicing: creation, reading and conversion to ZUGFeRD and XRechnung
  • Annual accounts, e-balance sheet and publication, depending on your package
  • Mirrored into DATEV, so your bank, auditors and any later advisor get your records in the familiar form
  • Named contacts for bookkeeping, payroll, support and tax advice in the chat

Pricing

What it costs

Two shops with 200 orders a month and a marketplace setup with 20,000 are two different engagements. So we talk to you first — then you get an offer that fits. Cancellable monthly, with the pathway connection as part of the package.

Firm and partner

Who stands behind this

boring.legal GmbH provides the software and does not perform any regulated services. The reserved activities are carried out by boring.tax Steuerberatungsgesellschaft mbH and its cooperating tax firms. You sign a regular tax advisory contract with professional indemnity insurance and get named contacts, not a ticket number.

Your data sits in the boring cloud on German servers, retained in line with GoBD and additionally mirrored into DATEV.

pathway solutions

The connection to your shops and payment providers is built by pathway solutions from Hamburg — the leading Shopify app for automated DATEV entries, used by over 4,000 retailers and tax firms. Since 2024 pathway has been part of the Visma group, one of Europe's largest providers of business software.
