Question 1

Is there a direct interface between Stripe and DATEV?

Accepted Answer

No, Stripe offers no native DATEV connection and DATEV no direct Stripe integration. You need a tool in between that merges invoices, payments and fees from Stripe and exports them in DATEV format. CONA does exactly that, including period-accurate revenue deferral.

Question 2

How does CONA book deferred revenue?

Accepted Answer

CONA automatically creates a deferral schedule from every Stripe invoice. Revenue is spread across the term and booked month by month, aligned to the calendar month. Every euro lands in the right period, without manual journal entries.

Question 3

How are Stripe fees and payouts booked?

Accepted Answer

CONA reads the balance transactions of your Stripe accounts, books every fee individually and reconciles every payout against the individual transactions it contains. The amount arriving on your bank account matches the bookings in DATEV, in real time instead of once a month.

Question 4

What does the booking batch CONA exports to DATEV contain?

Accepted Answer

The booking batch contains the invoices and credit notes from Stripe, the period-accurate deferral bookings, Stripe fees and the reconciled payouts. Your tax advisor imports it directly into DATEV, no cleanup needed.

Question 5

How does CONA handle refunds and proration?

Accepted Answer

Refunds, credit notes and proration are fully covered. On a refund or plan change, CONA automatically adjusts the deferral schedule and books the correction in the correct period. Partial periods are calculated accurately too.

Question 6

Does this also work with complex Stripe setups, such as multiple accounts or Stripe Connect?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CONA processes multiple Stripe accounts and supports Stripe Connect. Balance transactions, fees and payouts are mapped per account and exported together to DATEV.

Question 7

Is the DATEV export traceable and GoBD-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For the export, CONA aggregates identical booking records so DATEV stays performant. The underlying detail remains fully available and every booking can be resolved down to the individual invoice or transaction. Traceability is preserved throughout.

Question 8

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

Setup usually takes less than a day. You connect Stripe in a few clicks, and we set up the deferral logic and accounts together with your tax advisor. No IT project, no long lead time.

Question 9

What does CONA cost for SaaS?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the volume and complexity of your setup, starting at €19.99 per month. Transparent and without long lock-in. You can try CONA free for one month. Reach out for a tailored quote.
