Context
NEW V2.12 The law „Kassensicherheitsverordnung“ has come into force in Germany on 01.01.2020. This law will require a digital signature for each order. Ticketing solutions have to comply with the new law as of 01.10.2020. SecuTix provides you all the features necessary to comply with this new law.
Solution
The solution integrates a module provided by EFSTA. This module has already been successfully integrated to comply with the Austrian law. This module will in turn call an external Technical Security Element (that will actually sign the data) provided by the Austrian company Fiskaly.
Document types with digital signature
SecuTix will print the digital signature in text form on following order documents:
- Order receipt
- Order summary
- Order invoice
Getting started
- Create a Fiskaly test account here : https://dashboard.fiskaly.com
- Fiskaly will provide you test credentials (API key and API secret) for free
- Provide these credentials to SecuTix that will set-up the EFR module accordingly for test purposes
- Upgrade your account to a live one by contacting sales@fiskaly.com (click on Upgrade button)
- Fiskaly will send you a contract
- Once you've signed the contract, Fiskaly will send you the credentials for the productive environment. Please provide them to SecuTix so that we can set-up the EFR module accordingly
- Please perform following set-up in SecuTix:
- Ensure that your European VAT number has been entered. To do this, check that the administrative number "European VAT Code" has been entered (menu "Organization characteristics > administrative numbers"). This number has to start with "DE".
- Disable the signature feature on each sales channel for which you don't need the fiscal signature. Indeed, the feature is enabled by default on all sales channels but, in Germany, fiscal signatures aren't needed for on-line shops. To do this, select the sales channel in the institution context and display the parameter tab. Click on the check box below:
- Configure a new external manager plugin of type DE-KSV
- Add the digital signature to the document definition by adding following line:
- For invoices: {#showFiscalSignatureRestitution($document $document.invoice.orders.get(0))}
- For order summary and order receipt: {#showFiscalSignatureRestitution($document $document.order)}
- Check if other information needs to be added to the document (for example: operator, sales channel)
- SecuTix will set-up the EFSTA module
