External services

This plugin relies on the sevDesk REST API, a third-party accounting and invoicing service, to create invoices and manage contacts.

What is the sevDesk REST API?

sevDesk is a German cloud accounting and invoicing platform. This plugin uses their official REST API to:

• Authenticate with a personal API token
• Create and update contacts (customers)
• Create invoices (draft or finalized via sendBy)
• Retrieve invoice data and download PDF documents
• Read SevUser (connection test)
• (PRO) Create credit notes, send e-invoice flags, bookAmount (mark as paid), and related document options

API base: https://my.sevdesk.de/api/v1/

What data is sent and when?

The plugin sends data to the sevDesk REST API (https://my.sevdesk.de/api/v1/) in these situations:

When you click “Create Invoice” or when automatic invoice generation is triggered (PRO version):

• Customer billing information: name, company, USt-IdNr / VAT ID, email, phone, billing address (street, city, postal code, country)
• Order information: line items (names, quantities, net/gross amounts, tax rates), shipping and fees, voucher date, optional headText/footText (PRO)

When the plugin connects to sevDesk (settings page or as needed):

• Your sevDesk API token (Authorization header, raw token)
• Requests to retrieve SevUser, contacts, invoices, check accounts, and PDF files

No data is sent automatically without your action (FREE). The free plugin communicates with sevDesk when:

• You manually create an invoice from the order screen
• You click Test Connection on the settings page
• You download an invoice PDF (admin or My Account)

With PRO automation enabled, invoices/credit notes may also be created when order status changes or refunds are issued, and invoices may be booked as paid when the order reaches processing/completed, according to your settings.
