01The moment that counts

Sooner or later you have to account for one invoice.

Sooner or later someone sits across from you and asks about one specific invoice: how was it created, is it unchanged since it was sent, and which path did it take into DATEV? The tax auditor asks this. Your accountant asks it. Sometimes your own business customer, whose system rejects a plain PDF invoice. In that moment it does not matter that the transfer somehow worked — what matters is what you can produce.

If your invoice path runs through a third-party middleware cloud, that very trail leads through a system you cannot see into. A booking whose path you cannot show is not a relief in an audit — it is an open flank. ZERYON DATEV is built so the answer is always on hand — from the cart to the DATEV job ID, unbroken and still verifiable years later.

02What it is

A direct connection, not a middleman.

ZERYON DATEV hands WooCommerce outgoing invoices and credit notes to DATEV Unternehmen online — through the official accounting:dxso-jobs V2 interface, without your invoice data ever touching a third party's server.

Where a plain export plugin only spits out a CSV file and a middleware routes your data through its cloud, ZERYON DATEV closes the gap between them: a validated, provable invoice path that stays on your own hosting. The same stance ZERYON Systems builds its controllable systems with — deterministic, fail-closed, provable — only deliberately without AI, because money and law call for determinism.

03Four principles

What ZERYON DATEV is built on.

Direct connection

Direct, not middleware

WooCommerce → DATEV via the official interface — no third party in the data path, data stays in-house.

EN 16931
Legal certainty

Legally sound by design

Every invoice as a ZUGFeRD PDF (EN 16931), generated and validated — fail-closed before it reaches DATEV.

a1f4c9…e2
Governance

Provable, not asserted

Immutable snapshots and an unbroken audit trail, verifiable for ten years under GoBD.

SIGNED SBOM · SLSA
Quality

Enterprise quality

Secure-by-design: 138 tests, SBOM and a signed release. The discipline of financial software.

04The enforced sequence

Seven steps. Each with a gate.

Nothing skips a check. The checkout never depends on DATEV — the actual chain runs asynchronously in the background.

1

Capture

Gate

The order is enqueued — under 1 second, checkout decoupled.

2

Freeze

Gate

Immutable snapshot with checksum.

3

Document

EN 16931

ZUGFeRD PDF/A-3 generated and validated against EN 16931.

4

Tax

fail-closed

Tax case determined deterministically, VIES checked — special cases wait for accountant approval.

5

Package

XSD

document.xml + LEDGER XML, fail-closed against the v060 XSD.

6

Transfer

dxso-jobs V2

Via dxso-jobs V2 to DATEV — each file individually.

7

Proof

GoBD

DATEV job ID + audit trail, verifiable for 10 years.

05Capabilities, each verifiable

What the plugin demonstrably does.

Direct connection dxso-jobs V2

Official DATEV interface (Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0), OAuth 2.0 / OIDC. No intermediary.

E-invoice generated & validated

ZUGFeRD hybrid PDF (PDF/A-3, EN 16931 profile), validated against KoSIT — customer-ready and DATEV-ready in one step.

Tax engine, deterministic

Standard, OSS, reverse charge, intra-community supply, export, §19 — with VIES check of the VAT ID.

Fail-closed before every transfer

Without a passed XSD and EN 16931 check and, for special cases, without accountant approval, the invoice stays blocked.

Snapshot & audit trail (GoBD)

Every event immutable with checksum; append-only log, retained audit-proof for 10 years.

Secrets kept safe

OAuth with PKCE, optional mTLS; tokens encrypted (libsodium), outside the web root, never in a log.

Queue, retry & kill switch

Asynchronous queue, staggered retry on technical errors, global transfer stop.

Built secure-by-design

138 tests green, static analysis, SBOM (CycloneDX), signed release; HPOS-compatible; no AI in the data path.

09Questions

The questions that matter.

Does my invoice data stay in-house?

Yes. ZERYON DATEV transfers directly from WooCommerce to DATEV, with no third service in between. The plugin runs on your own hosting; your invoice data only leaves it in one direction — to DATEV.

Can the plugin send something wrong to DATEV?

No — the system is fail-closed. Without a passed XSD and EN 16931 check and, for non-standard tax cases, without the accountant's approval, an invoice stays blocked. Same input, same verifiable result — no silent automation that guesses when in doubt.

What happens if DATEV goes down?

Your checkout never depends on DATEV. The queue waits, your shop keeps selling. Technical errors are retried in stages; a global kill switch stops all transfers instantly if needed.

Is this tax advice?

No. Non-standard tax cases are put to the accountant for approval; the plugin does not decide over their head. It replaces the middleman, not the firm.

Do I need a DATEV access?

Yes. It usually comes from you or your accountant — client, access and data release. Until it is in place, the live upload stays deliberately locked: better blocked than transferred wrong.

What does ZERYON DATEV cost?

1,490 € per year and WooCommerce shop, net plus VAT. An annual license with the full feature set; updates and support included while it is active — including legal and format updates (ZUGFeRD, DATEV schema). Multiple shops, clients, and agency or group licenses on request.

Is there AI in the invoice path?

No, no AI in the data path. The invoice path is deterministic — same input, same verifiable result. So there is no black box and no AI-Act Annex IV concern in the processing.
