Everything a German WooCommerce shop needs, legally

Sequent bundles the obligations that would otherwise take three plugins and a tax advisor.

⚖️

§356a cancellation button Free

The legally required two-step cancellation button (mandatory from 19.06.2026): no login, no reason, with an email confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (§356a para. 4 BGB) and a tamper-proof evidence log.

🔢

Gap-free invoices Free

Sequential, gap-free invoice numbers with a database lock (even under concurrent orders), immutable snapshots, §19 small-business & §13b reverse-charge handling, credit notes — §14 UStG / GoBD compliant.

📄

ZUGFeRD / Factur-X Pro

True hybrid e-invoice: EN16931 XML embedded in a PDF/A-3 — generated entirely inside the plugin, no external service. Ready for Germany's upcoming B2B e-invoicing obligation.

📊

DATEV export Pro

EXTF posting batch for your tax advisor — one click instead of copy-paste. The end of the monthly export chaos.

🇪🇺

VAT-ID check (VIES) Pro

Automatic, logged VIES validation of EU VAT IDs as evidence for intra-community / reverse-charge supplies.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly changes on 19 June 2026?

The "cancellation button" under §356a BGB (implementing EU Directive 2023/2673) becomes mandatory for distance contracts. Consumers must be able to declare their cancellation in a few clicks — via a clearly identifiable button, without login and without giving a reason, with confirmation of receipt on a durable medium.

Do I need an external cloud or service?

No. Sequent generates invoices, e-invoices (ZUGFeRD/Factur-X) and documents entirely inside your WordPress installation. No data leaves your server, and there are no ongoing API costs.

Is the ZUGFeRD invoice really compliant?

Yes. Sequent embeds an EN16931-conformant CII XML inside a PDF/A-3 (the ZUGFeRD/Factur-X hybrid format) and reads it back to verify it. This is the format Germany's and the EU's B2B e-invoicing obligation requires.

Does Sequent replace my tax advisor or lawyer?

No — Sequent is the technical implementation. It delivers GoBD-compliant invoices, DATEV exports and legally aligned texts, but does not replace individual legal or tax advice. For production we recommend a final review by a lawyer.

What does it cost and can I cancel?

€149/year or €20/month for the Pro version with all features. The monthly plan can be cancelled anytime. The core features (cancellation button, §14 invoices, legal texts) are free via WordPress.org.
