Leitweg-ID and XRechnung for German public buyers, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL, buyer VAT ID checks, validation and batch export.
Leitweg-ID and XRechnung for German public buyers, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL, buyer VAT ID checks, validation and batch export.
The part of e-invoicing Shopware core does not do. Shopware 6.6.10 and later create ZUGFeRD / XRechnung CII documents. For a German public buyer, for Peppol or for an EU reverse-charge sale they still miss data: the Leitweg-ID, the buyer VAT ID, the right VAT category. This plugin adds it, validates it and exports it.
EU E-Invoicing works with Shopware 6.6.10+ and 6.7.

Shopware 6.6.10+ and 6.7. Tested on Shopware 6.7.16.0 and Shopware 6.6.10.31. The Compatibility tab lists every version range.
No. Shopware SaaS runs apps only, so plugins need a self-hosted shop or a PaaS (cloud) shop where you can install plugins.
Yes. The package has a composer.json at its root, so it installs with a path or artifact repository as well as from the Administration. Shops that turn runtime extension management off install it with Composer.
Yes. Every plugin page shows real screenshots from Shopware 6.7 and the full documentation, so you can check each screen before you buy. Every order also has a 30-day refund.
One production store domain with every subdomain (www, shop., staging.), plus local development hosts such as localhost, *.local and *.test. A store on another domain needs its own license; a second-store license is 40% off. You have 14 days after installing to enter the key. 12 months of updates and support are included; after that the plugin keeps working and renewals are 50% off. How licensing works
Yes. Ask for a full refund within 30 days of your first purchase, no reason needed: open a ticket or write to [email protected] with your order number. The money goes back to the card or bank account you paid with within 5 business days of approval. Refund policy
Open a ticket from your account, so your license details are attached. We answer with a same-day reply on weekdays (Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00 UTC+3). Support policy. Not a customer yet? Ask a pre-sales question.

The e-invoicing parts Shopware core does not do: Leitweg-ID and XRechnung for German public buyers, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL, buyer VAT ID checks, validation and batch export.
Works with Shopware 6.6.10 and later and Shopware 6.7 (self-hosted and PaaS; Shopware SaaS runs apps only, not plugins).
Requirements: Shopware 6.6.10 or later, or Shopware 6.7, self-hosted or PaaS; PHP 8.2 to 8.4.
Command line: bin/console plugin:zip-import KvEuEinvoicing-1.0.0.zip, then bin/console plugin:install --activate KvEuEinvoicing, then bin/console cache:clear.
Upload the new zip the same way and choose Update. Your settings, licence and e-invoice files stay.
Choose Uninstall in My extensions. Tick Keep user data if you want to retain issued e-invoices and settings; otherwise the plugin table, the custom field set and all settings are removed.
Open Extensions > My extensions > EU E-Invoicing > Configure, or Orders > E-invoices > Settings. Every setting can be set for all sales channels or for one sales channel.
The plugin does not ask for your company data twice. Name, address, VAT ID, tax number, IBAN and BIC come from Settings > Documents > Invoice > Company, exactly as on the PDF invoice. Fill them in completely: the readiness check on each order names the field that is missing.
Two additions live in the plugin:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Seller Peppol ID | Scheme and ID of your own Peppol endpoint, for example 9930:DE123456788 (German VAT ID) or 0204:991-12345-67 (Leitweg-ID). Empty: derived from your VAT ID. |
| Company registration ID | Your commercial register number, used when you have no VAT ID. |
| Contact person or department, phone, e-mail | XRechnung requires a seller contact. Empty: the company name, phone and e-mail of the document company data. |
| Payment terms text | Free text written to the invoice. |
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Create e-invoice files automatically | When Shopware creates an invoice, credit note or cancellation document, the e-invoice files of the selected formats are created and checked at once. Off: create them from the order's E-invoice tab. |
| Formats | XRechnung 3.0 UBL (German public buyers), Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL, XRechnung 3.0 CII. Select any combination. |
| Buyer reference when the buyer gave none | Order number (what Shopware core writes) or leave empty. German public buyers reject a missing or wrong buyer reference, so ask for the Leitweg-ID at checkout. |
Shopware creates its own ZUGFeRD / XRechnung CII documents. Complete Shopware's ZUGFeRD / XRechnung XML (on by default) writes the data core leaves out into that XML: the Leitweg-ID instead of the order number (BT-10), the buyer VAT ID (BT-48), the purchase order number (BT-13), the buyer Peppol ID, the delivery country for intra-EU supplies and the correct VAT category of 0 % lines.
Shopware writes category S or Z for every line. The plugin decides the correct EN 16931 category from the order:
| Case | Setting | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Tax-free supply to a company with a VAT ID in another EU country | Intra-EU | K, intra-community supply of goods (or AE, reverse charge for services) |
| Tax-free supply outside the EU | Export | G, export outside the EU (or E, O) |
| 0 % or exempt supply inside the country | Domestic | Z, zero rated (or E, exempt) |
The exemption reason (BT-120 / BT-121) is written together with the category, for example VATEX-EU-IC.
Invoice and prepayment are written as SEPA credit transfer (code 58) with your IBAN, direct debit as 59, cash on delivery as 10. Other payment methods use the code you select here (68 online payment service, 54 credit card, 30 credit transfer, ZZZ mutually defined). The default unit code is UN/ECE Recommendation 20, for example H87 piece.
Show the e-invoice fields at checkout adds two optional fields to the checkout confirm page for customers that have a company: buyer reference / Leitweg-ID and purchase order number. A Leitweg-ID is checked (structure and check digits) before the order is placed.
The built-in rule checks always run. If you operate the official KoSIT validator on your own server in daemon mode (java -jar validator.jar -D), enter its URL here. XRechnung files are then also checked against the official XRechnung schematron, and the verdict is shown in the list. Files are sent only to the URL you enter, never to a third-party service. Check every new XRechnung file with KoSIT runs the check on creation.
Enter the licence key in the Licence tab and choose Check now. The plugin works for 14 days after installation without a key; the Administration is never blocked. See Installation.
German public buyers (federal, state and municipal authorities) require an XRechnung that carries their Leitweg-ID as buyer reference (BT-10). Shopware core always writes the order number there. With this plugin the reference comes from, in this order:
The same two levels exist for the buyer VAT ID (on top of the VAT ID stored with the customer), the buyer Peppol ID and the purchase order number (BT-13). VAT IDs are checked per country (format and check digit), Leitweg-IDs by structure and check digits, Peppol IDs by scheme and format. No remote service is called.
With Create e-invoice files automatically on, nothing has to be done: when an invoice, credit note or cancellation document is created (manually, by a flow or in bulk), the files of the selected formats are created and checked.
By hand: open the order, E-invoice tab.
Each file shows Valid, Warnings or Not valid. A file that is not valid is kept for review but never offered as a clean file. A consumer without a Peppol ID cannot receive Peppol BIS: the Peppol file is refused with the reason.
Create ZUGFeRD documents as before. With Complete Shopware's ZUGFeRD / XRechnung XML on, the plugin fixes the data core leaves out while the XML is built, so the same document is accepted by the official validator.
Orders > E-invoices lists every file with document, order, buyer, format, status, total and date. Filter by status, format and document type, or search by document number, buyer or buyer reference. The cards on top count files, valid files, warnings and files that are not valid.
Tick files and choose Export N as ZIP, or tick none and choose Export all as ZIP (up to 5,000 files): the ZIP holds the XML files and a validation-report.csv, ready for your tax advisor or a public buyer's portal.
With a KoSIT URL configured, KoSIT on a file in the list or Check with KoSIT on the order (or the automatic check) sends the XRechnung file to your own validator and stores the verdict: KoSIT accepted, KoSIT rejected with the findings, or KoSIT not reached.
Credit notes and cancellation documents of Shopware are converted like invoices: type code 381 (credit note) with the reference to the original invoice.
Reading needs the order:read privilege, creating files and saving buyer data needs order:update. The settings follow the normal Shopware settings privileges.
No. Shopware SaaS runs apps only. The plugin needs a self-hosted or PaaS shop.
Shopware 6.6.10 and later 6.6 releases, and Shopware 6.7. PHP 8.2 to 8.4. It uses only public events and services of Shopware, so it does not override core classes.
Shopware core creates the PDF/A-3 hybrid invoice and its own CII XML. This plugin adds what core does not: Leitweg-ID as buyer reference, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 and XRechnung UBL, buyer VAT ID, the correct VAT categories (reverse charge, intra-community, export, exempt), validation and batch export. It also completes core's own XML with that data.
XRechnung 3.0 UBL, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL and XRechnung 3.0 CII, for invoices, credit notes and cancellations. They were checked against the official KoSIT validator with the XRechnung 3.0.2 configuration, the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 schematron and the UBL 2.1 schema.
No. The plugin creates and validates the files and lets you download or export them. Sending to a public buyer's portal or a Peppol access point is done with your usual channel.
No. All checks run inside your shop. If you connect a KoSIT validator, the files go only to the URL you enter.
The message in the order's E-invoice tab names the rule and the Shopware place to fix it, for example a missing seller IBAN in Settings > Documents > Invoice > Company, a missing seller contact, or a buyer reference that is not a valid Leitweg-ID. Fix it and choose Recreate.
Peppol needs an endpoint ID for the buyer. A consumer has none, so the Peppol file is refused. Use the XRechnung formats, or enter a Peppol ID on the order.
The Shopware uninstall dialog asks whether to keep the plugin data. Keep it if you must retain issued e-invoices: they are legal records in many countries.
One production domain, no expiry, 12 months of updates. The plugin works for 14 days without a key; afterwards creating files needs an active licence. The Administration stays available.
