Multiple payment providers
We allocate payouts and fees to the relevant payment flows and investigate remaining outstanding items.
Accounting for your Shopify store
We bring your Shopify revenue and payment data into DATEV. Through Pathway, we transfer the agreed records and reconcile invoices, refunds, fees and payouts. Shopify Payments forms part of the same accounting workflow.
The system
What is Shopify?
Shopify is a platform for running online stores. Orders, invoice data and refunds originate in the store; Shopify Payments or other providers process the payments. Accounting needs a consistent view of both.
From store data to reconciled accounts
As a Pathway Gold Partner, we configure the accounting rules for transfer to DATEV. We review revenue and tax allocation, fees and refunds, then reconcile payments, payouts and outstanding items.

Questions about Shopify and accounting
Does the workflow include Shopify Payments?
Yes. We consider Shopify Payments together with your store data, including payments, fees, refunds, payouts and reconciliation of the remaining balance.
Does Amicon manage my Shopify store?
Your team remains responsible for the store and its data. Our ongoing accounting work in this model takes place in Pathway and DATEV. We discuss any necessary store changes with you.
Does all data reach DATEV automatically?
Coverage depends on the stores, providers and transaction types connected. We check this at setup and agree additional reports for records that the connection does not supply.
