Keep Shopify and SnelStart updated automatically.
SnelStart is made for small businesses and freelancers who want to keep their bookkeeping simple, with sales entries on ledger accounts, VAT codes and relations, no fuss. Shopify knows everything about your sales, with orders, refunds, Shopify Payments payouts, order tags and a per-country VAT setting through Shopify Markets, but none of that lands in your books by itself. Schakel reads your Shopify orders and turns them into sales entries in SnelStart, with the right VAT code per line and the customer as a relation, so you retype nothing.
What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between Shopify and SnelStart, and how often.
-
Orders as sales entries
Every Shopify order becomes a sales entry in SnelStart with a line per product, shipping on its own line and the order number as reference. The customer is looked up as a relation by email, or created if it does not exist yet.
-
Right VAT code per line
Standard, reduced, 0% and reverse charge get the right SnelStart VAT code per line. If your Shopify Markets sells to another EU country, the line lands at the destination rate, ready for your OSS return.
-
Ledger accounts as you know them
Revenue, shipping and Shopify Payments land on the ledger accounts you already use in SnelStart, without rebuilding your chart of accounts. It fits the simplicity you expect from SnelStart.
-
Refunds as credit entries
A refund in Shopify becomes a credit entry in SnelStart for the amount actually refunded. B2B orders with a valid VAT number, recognisable by an order tag, are booked reverse charge instead of a rate.
What Shopify to SnelStart saves you
- No more retyping orders from Shopify into SnelStart, even on busy days.
- You keep the simplicity of SnelStart, the entries fit your chart of accounts.
- The VAT code per line is right, including Shopify Markets and OSS to other EU countries.
- Refunds become credit entries and B2B is booked reverse charge, without manual work.
Setting it up

You authorise Schakel through SnelStart and pick the administration the entries should land in. Your password is never asked for or stored.
- 03
Map ledgers and VAT codes
You link your VAT codes, the ledger for revenue and the account for Shopify Payments. To keep sales channels or B2B apart, you steer on order tags.
- 04
Check and let it run
You see the first entries in an overview before they are final. Once it looks right, new orders and refunds flow in by themselves and everything shows up in the log.

Common questions
Is the Shopify to SnelStart connector available?
Request this connector and get access. You let us know you want to link Shopify to SnelStart, and we make sure you can get started. You hear from us within 24 hours.
Does this fit my existing ledger accounts?
Yes. You link revenue, shipping and Shopify Payments to the ledger accounts you already use in SnelStart, so you do not rebuild your chart of accounts.
How is VAT per country handled for Shopify Markets?
Schakel reads the destination country and the VAT Shopify put on the order, and maps that to the matching SnelStart VAT code per line. Sales above the EU threshold arrive ready for your OSS return.
Are refunds and B2B orders booked correctly?
Yes. A refund becomes a credit entry for the amount actually refunded, and business orders with an order tag or filled VAT number are booked reverse charge instead of a rate.
Can I book several Shopify stores into one SnelStart administration?
Yes. Several Shopify stores can feed the same SnelStart administration, each with its own ledger accounts or order tags if you want to keep them apart.
Can you connect Shopify to SnelStart?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Shopify and SnelStart, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in SnelStart?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in SnelStart?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in SnelStart, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
