1.Introduction
This is the manual for the integration between KMO Shops and Factuursturen.
- This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in Factuursturen, 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 KMO Shops and in the FAQ for Factuursturen.
Installing the integration starts with signing up for a trial period, via our integrations page. After registration, you will receive an email containing an installation URL and login details. With this installation URL, you start the installation of the integration.
The installation is complete when both connection dots are green, and the settings in the Configuration tab have been entered and saved.
There is a trial period of 30 days.
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
KMO Shops works with webhooks. We receive a notification as soon as a new order is created in your webshop or if an order changes. If the order can be processed - this depends on the status - the integration places the order in the processing queue. Depending on how busy the processing queue is, the order will be processed quickly or slightly later. In general, the queues move quickly.

At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the KMO Shops order:
- It is checked whether the total of the KMO Shops 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 Factuursturen for the VAT in each line.
- It is checked whether the order has not already been processed.
Processing a KMO Shops order to Factuursturen takes place in two steps:
- It is checked if the customer already exists in Factuursturen. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
- The Factuursturen invoice is created and processed.
After the order has been forwarded and a success message from Factuursturen has been received, the order is marked as handled. The KMO Shops order appears at the Reporting tab on the dashboard.
If Factuursturen returns an error while processing the order, the order 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 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 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 Factuursturen later in the manual.
3.Required: Factuursturen key
To connect to Factuursturen, you need a username and an API key. The username is the same one you use to log in. You create the API key within factuursturen.nl. To do this, go to Settings > Connections. There you will see a button to create the API key. Ensure the API key is set to Active and enter a description so you know later what this key is used for.
4.Installation
Installing the integration starts with signing up for a trial period, via our integrations page. After registering, you'll receive an email with an installation URL and login details. Use this installation URL to start the integration installation.
Activating the integration consists of three steps:
1. Establishing the connection with the KMO Shops webshop. Through this step, you authorize the integration to read the data from your webshop.
2. Establishing the connection with Factuursturen. This authorizes the integration to write transactions to your Factuursturen administration and read information.
3. Configuring additional data, such as the VAT settings.
Authentication Factuursturen
You establish the connection with Factuursturen using your username and API key that you determined in the previous step. You click the red Connect button next to Factuursturen. You can enter the username and API key in the popup window.
With Factuursturen, the VAT percentages are used as they appear in the orders. It is not possible to configure separate VAT rates and general ledger accounts.
5.Day-to-day: From KMO Shops
Debtors
The integration first checks if the debtor is already present in the accounting system. If not, the integration creates the debtor in Factuursturen. Matching of debtors between KMO Shops and Factuursturen takes place based on email address.
VAT numbers For business orders within the EU, outside the Netherlands, a VAT number is mandatory. The integration checks for this.
6.Day-to-day: To Factuursturen
Invoices are not automatically sent by Factuursturen. Please contact us if you would like invoices to be sent automatically.
When processing customer information, it is first checked whether the customer has been processed before. If so, this Factuursturen debtor is used as the debtor for the Factuursturen transaction. If the customer is not yet known, they are added to Factuursturen. Matching is based on email address.
Please note: The integration only creates debtors. The integration does not modify debtors.
The integration does not create products in Factuursturen.
The integration creates the invoice in Factuursturen, 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.
