As part of the KassenSichV, all cash registers must be equipped with a so-called technical security device (TSE) from March 31, 2021. Our POS system Pickware POS therefore works with the cloud solution from fiskaly in order to meet these legal requirements. With Pickware POS and fiskaly, you can process payments in full compliance with the KassenSichV until 2029, without having to worry about applying for a deadline extension with the tax office.
The certificates from fiskaly can be viewed and downloaded here. You can also find more information about the KassenSichV in our blog posts (here and here).
What do I need to do as a POS user?
To use the POS App, you need a Pickware account. This account stores your company's master data as well as all of your stores. As soon as a store is located in Germany, it is reported to fiskaly and you receive an email to set up your fiskaly account. With your account, you can log in to the fiskaly Dashboard to view your registered stores, cash registers and completed transactions. Once your fiskaly account has been set up, your created receipts will be automatically certified. You can find a detailed description of the setup process here as part of the app setup.
How does the certification with fiskaly work?
Recording starts as soon as the payment process is initiated at the checkout. Created receipts are then automatically provided with a QR code and additional information for the tax office. Only the payment method and the individual partial amounts per tax rate are recorded, but not information about the products sold.
What happens if fiskaly experiences an outage?
Should the fiskaly service ever experience an outage, receipts will be issued without certification during this time. This does not create any additional work for you, as manual re-recording is not required.
