Keep Kaufland and Exact Online updated automatically.
Kaufland.de is one of the big German marketplaces and for Dutch sellers a direct route to German consumers. Exact Online runs on journals, ledger accounts and VAT codes and expects every sale to slot neatly into them. Kaufland hands over German-language orders, commission and a bundled payout. Schakel reads your Kaufland sales and turns them into sales invoices in Exact Online, on the journal and ledger accounts you point it at, with the German VAT code for your OSS return.
What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between Kaufland and Exact Online, and how often.
-
Sales invoices in the right journal
Every Kaufland sale becomes a sales invoice in Exact Online, with line items, the German customer as a relation and the order number as reference. The invoice lands in the sales journal you choose.
-
German VAT code via OSS
Because you sell to German consumers, each line gets the VAT code for the German rate. Above the EU threshold those sales arrive ready for your OSS return in Exact, so you remit the German VAT correctly.
-
Commission and fees on their own ledger
Kaufland commission and shipping are booked separately to the ledger accounts you assign, instead of being netted off your revenue. Your gross margin on the German sales stays readable in Exact.
-
Returns as credit notes
A Kaufland return becomes a credit note in Exact Online for the amount actually refunded, linked to the original sale, so your receivables and German VAT stay correct without manual corrections.

Common questions
Is the Kaufland to Exact Online connector available?
Request this connector and get access. You let us know you want to link Kaufland to Exact Online, and we make sure you can get started. You hear from us within 24 hours.
Does this handle the German VAT code in Exact?
Yes. Sales to German consumers get the VAT code for the German rate and above the threshold arrive ready for your OSS return, so you remit the VAT in the right country.
Which journal do the Kaufland invoices land on?
On the sales journal you assign. Commission and fees can go to a separate journal or separate ledger accounts, so your overview stays sharp.
Does this work with Exact Online for accountants?
Yes. Schakel books into the administration you grant access to, whether that is your own or a client administration you manage as an accountant.
Can I book Kaufland next to my other marketplaces in Exact?
Yes. Kaufland can feed the same Exact administration as your other channels, with its own ledger accounts if you want to keep the German sales apart.
Can you connect Kaufland to Exact Online?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Kaufland and Exact Online, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Exact Online?
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 Exact Online?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Exact Online, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
