Card terminals deduct fees directly and pay out a collective amount. For the cash report and accounting, gross sales, fees and payment dates must be separated. How to export SumUp and Zettle data correctly.

Important
  • Don't hide fees in sales
  • Payout date ≠ sales day
  • Leave tips separate

SumUp CSV export

  1. SumUp Dashboard → ReportsTransactions.
  2. select period, Export click.
  3. Download CSV, check columns (amount, fee, payout).
  4. Adjust time/time zone for end-of-day closing.
Tip
For GoBD: Save daily closing as PDF, use CSV as work file.

Zettle CSV export

  1. Zettle (Web or App) → ReportsSales.
  2. set a period, Export select.
  3. Download CSV or save monthly PDF.
  4. Columns: Amount, Fee, VAT, Payout, Tip.
Note
For foreign currency: retain the currency column and do not overwrite it in the import.

Cash report: Separate daily sales vs. payout date

Column structure

Gross, VAT, fee, tip, payout

Keep payout reference for bank reconciliation

Check time zone (UTC vs. local time)

Import into DATEV/Excel

  • Semicolon as separator, UTF-8 encoding.
  • Date format DD.MM.YYYY for booking date/payout.
  • Book the tip column separately, do not offset it against sales.
  • For collective payouts, keep the reference number for bank reconciliation.

Common problems

Fee in sales
Fees must be listed separately in negative form, otherwise the net proceeds will not be correct.
Wrong date
Separate the booking date (sales) and the payout date (bank), otherwise the bank reconciliation will not be correct.

FAQ

How far back?
SumUp/Zettle allow export for several years. For older months, convert PDFs if CSV is missing.
GoBD note
Store daily reports/PDFs in an audit-proof manner, CSV as a working copy. Document changes.

Conclusion

With SumUp or Zettle export – or PDF conversion via KontoCSV – you get a CSV that separates fees, sales, tip and payout amount. This is how the cash report, the EÜR and the DATEV import work without manual rework.
