Shopify Visma eAccounting

Keep Shopify and Visma eAccounting updated automatically.

Today you check the Shopify admin for new orders and carry them over into the other system by hand. Refunds and partial cancellations only surface once something no longer adds up. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Shopify lands in Visma eAccounting by itself, in the shape Visma eAccounting expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between Shopify and Visma eAccounting, and how often.

  1. Invoices

    to Visma eAccounting automatically

    Every sale becomes an invoice in Visma eAccounting with its own line items and the order number as reference, so you can trace it back without retyping.

  2. Contacts

    to Visma eAccounting automatically

    The customer is recorded as a contact in Visma eAccounting or reused by email, so no duplicate relation appears.

  3. VAT

    to Visma eAccounting automatically

    The VAT rate is set per line, and foreign sales get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.

Both sides

What each side expects

Shopify and Visma eAccounting do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Shopify

Shopify thinks in orders with line items, a variant per line and a separate customer. Discounts, shipping and VAT sit as their own entries on the order rather than folded into the price.

Visma eAccounting

An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

Common questions

Can you connect Shopify to Visma eAccounting?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Shopify and Visma eAccounting, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Which VAT rate do my sales get in Visma eAccounting?

The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.

Are commission and fees booked separately in Visma eAccounting?

Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Visma eAccounting, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.

What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in Shopify?

It comes across, so Visma eAccounting matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.

What does connecting Shopify and Visma eAccounting cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does Shopify sync with Visma eAccounting?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

What happens to a return or refund in Visma eAccounting?

A return becomes a credit invoice in Visma eAccounting for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.

What if Shopify or Visma eAccounting is briefly unavailable?

Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
