1.Introduction
This is the manual for the integration between CCV Shop and Informer.
- This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in Informer, printing packing slips, or synchronizing products/inventory.
- This integration does not replace the work of an accountant. It saves time because you no longer have to retype documents. The accountant is still needed for advice, expertise, and control.
Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for CCV Shop and in the FAQ for Informer.
You install this integration from the CCV Shop App Store. If you select the Accounting category, our apps will appear automatically. You can recognize us as a provider by the blue gear icon. If you click on the App, you will see a description and the Install App button. During activation, you will be automatically guided through the configuration screens.
The installation is complete when both connection dots are green, and the settings in the Configuration tab have been entered and saved.
Important: Once the integration is installed, always log in to the dashboard via https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl, and not from the app store.
The trial period for the integration runs until the first of the following month in which the integration was requested.
If you want to install another integration, you can do so in the same way. Make sure you are logged out of the integration dashboard and preferably start the new installation in an incognito browser.
If you want to terminate the integration, you can remove the app from the app store in your backend.
Are you switching to another accounting system and want to create a new integration? You can install the new app from the app store in your backend. Make sure you are logged out of the dashboard of the old integration and preferably start the new installation in an incognito browser.
Are you switching to another webshop system? Via our integrations page you can see whether you install it from the relevant app store, or by means of an installation link.
Has the installation been successful, but do you see in the dashboard of the integration the old license key still present when you click the dropdown arrow next to the key (even though that app/key has been deleted)? If so, please send us an email requesting that the old key be removed.
2.How the integration works
A order or invoice from the CCV Shop webshop is processed to a Informer invoice.
Read more How the integration works .... Read less How the integration works ....
At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the CCV Shop order or invoice:
- It is checked whether the total of the CCV Shop order is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order lines plus the shipping cost amount.
- If the order is an ICP order, the VAT number is checked.
- It is checked whether a corresponding VAT code exists in Informer for the VAT in each line.
- It is checked whether the order or invoice has not already been processed.
Processing a CCV Shop order or invoice to Informer takes place in two steps:
- It is checked if the customer already exists in Informer. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
- The Informer invoice is created and processed.
After the order or invoice has been forwarded and a success message from Informer has been received, the order or invoice is marked as handled. The CCV Shop order appears at the Reporting tab on the dashboard.
If Informer returns an error while processing the order or invoice, the order or invoice appears in the Errors tab on the dashboard. Via the yellow button More info more information about the problem can be found. Via the red button Report problem can the order or invoice with all necessary information easily be submitted to us after you have tried to resolve the problem yourself. If the problem is solved, in some cases the orders or invoices can be processed again with the blue Process button.
Data
Information about the data that is processed can be found in the section Day-to-day: To Informer later in the manual.
3.Required: Informer API key/code
Two pieces of information are required to integrate with Informer:
1. The security code. This is the security code you use to log in to Informer.
2. An API key. You create this in your Informer backend.
4.Installation
After the installation, check using this FAQ, whether the integration works.
You install the integration between CCV Shop and informer via the CCV Shop App Store. First, the connection with your webshop is established and you authorize the integration to read data from your webshop. Explanation is provided in the Install integration section in chapter 1.
Read more Installation ....Read less Installation ....
1. Establishing the connection with Informer. This authorizes the integration to write transactions to your Informer administration and to read information.
2. Configuring additional data, such as the VAT settings.
Informer connection
You establish the connection with Informer using the security code and API key you determined in the previous step. Click the red Connect button next to Informer. You can now enter the security code and the API key in the popup window.
For the Informer connection, you must specify an invoice layout, a payment condition for new debtors, and indicate how the currencies in CCV Shop should be processed in Informer. This can be done very easily via the blue Edit buttons and the selection boxes that then appear.
When configuring the VAT rates and general ledger accounts, a link is created between the VAT rates in webshop and the VAT codes and revenue accounts in Informer. You can always make changes by clicking the blue 'Edit' button and selecting an option from the drop-down menus.
By default, all EU countries are shown in the list. You only need to configure the countries you sell to, and - if applicable - ICP and International.
The integration shows the standard VAT rates for Europe. You can adjust the VAT percentage with which you sell - left column. For example: By default, sales to Germany are set to 21%, but if you sell in the webshop with 19%, you can adjust that in the left column. Intra-Community (ICP) and international deliveries
The Intra-Community supplies / ICP option is intended for business-to-business deliveries within the EU. These sales are invoiced with 0% VAT. A VAT number from the customer is required. The International option applies to deliveries outside the EU. For these sales, the integration expects 0% VAT; otherwise, the sales cannot be processed. Separate VAT codes and general ledger accounts can be configured for both ICP and international deliveries.
Once the VAT settings have been configured and saved, you will always see the selected VAT rates. If you want to start over, you can use the grey 'Remove VAT settings' button. Your current settings will then be deleted and you can begin again.
You can create a link here between the payment methods in the webshop and a fixed debtor in your Informer administration. Orders or invoices with a payment method from the list will then always be posted to this debtor. In that case, no new debtors will be created.
Note: It is not possible to set fixed debtors for ICP orders or invoices. For an ICP order or invoice, a valid VAT number must be transmitted. Therefore, a debtor will always be created in Informer for an ICP order or invoice.
5.Day-to-day: From CCV Shop
Once an order or invoice has been processed, it cannot be processed again. An order or invoice that is modified in the webshop after it has been processed will not be adjusted in Informer.

6.Day-to-day: To Informer
The orders or invoices from CCV Shop are imported into Informer as invoices.
When processing customer information, it is first checked whether the customer has been processed before. If so, this Informer debtor is used as the debtor for the Informer transaction. If the customer is not yet known, they are added to Informer. Matching is based on email address. Please note: The integration only creates debtors. The integration does not modify debtors.
The integration creates the invoice in Informer, but will not automatically send the invoice to the debtor. It is possible to set an invoice layout. This can be done via the dashboard https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl, tab Configuration.
