Etsy invoice requirements in Germany

Create consistent Rechnung records from Etsy order data.

This guide is general information, not tax or legal advice. Invoice obligations depend on the seller, buyer, goods, and transaction.

ARTISANINVOICE

How we help

✓Imports Etsy items, quantities, addresses, currency, and order date
✓Stores each issued PDF unchanged
✓Captures seller identifiers, VAT rate, exemption wording, and payment terms

Before you issue an invoice

Review the tax treatment for this sale, complete the seller data Etsy does not hold, and add the buyer tax identifier when a business transaction requires it. ArtisanInvoice then keeps the issued PDF as the document you can retrieve later.

Important: GoBD retention duties and any applicable e-invoice requirements remain the seller's responsibility.
