GLOSSARY
DATEV Export
Export format for the German DATEV accounting system, used to transfer bookings and tax data.
A DATEV export packages financial data (bookings, taxes like VAT) for import into the German DATEV system. It is common for German entities needing compliant bookkeeping.
Clean ledgers and mapped chart-of-accounts make DATEV exports smoother. Platforms serving German merchants often provide automated exports alongside payout and fee reports.
