Why Shopify merchants switch to Centrue

Never get VAT wrong again

OSS, reverse charge and thresholds handled automatically — no penalties, no sleepless nights over cross-border EU VAT.

Automated compliance checks

Your VAT setup is checked continuously — issues are flagged before a tax authority finds them. You stay audit-ready by default.

Hours back, every month

No manual matching of payouts, fees and refunds. Your books keep themselves current while you sell.

Scale without hiring

Automation handles the volume; licensed accountants only review the exceptions. Grow orders, not bookkeeping cost.

A licensed pro has your back

Not just software — Centrue’s licensed accountants review, close and file. You’re professionally covered.

Always know what you owe

A live view of revenue, fees, VAT liability and net — decisions on facts, not guesswork.

Zero risk to your store

Read-only access to Shopify and bank, EU data residency, GDPR by design. We never touch your store or your money.

Shopify scales fast. Its bookkeeping doesn’t.

Shopify won’t file your VAT — you will

Unlike Amazon or eBay, Shopify does not collect or remit your VAT. The liability is 100% yours — and most sellers find out far too late.

One OSS slip = a backdated bill

Cross the €10,000 threshold or register a quarter too late and you face backdated VAT across the EU, plus interest and penalties. Six-figure catch-up bills are real.

Tax authorities are watching

Germany and France scrutinise online sellers ever harder; audits can land years later, and OSS records must survive 10 years. Unclean books are a liability.

Centrue fixes this at the source: your Shopify data becomes correct, VAT-compliant books — automatically — with continuous compliance checks and licensed accountants behind every period. Audit-ready, not audit-scared.

Three steps. Then it runs.

Set up once. After that, your books keep themselves current.

1

Connect (read-only)

Link your Shopify store and bank account (Revolut first) read-only, in a guided onboarding. We only read the fields we need — nothing is changed on your side.

2

AI does the heavy lifting

Every order line is categorised, VAT is determined by ship-to country and B2B/B2C (CY domestic, EU OSS, reverse charge, exports), and payouts are reconciled against your bank — fees, refunds and FX separated.

3

Licensed review & filing

Centrue’s licensed accountants review exceptions, close the period and prepare your VAT / OSS returns for submission. You get clean books and a clear dashboard.

What you get

E-commerce accounting that was actually built for e-commerce.

Correct EU VAT, automatically

Per-order-line VAT: Cyprus domestic, EU OSS (incl. €10,000 threshold monitoring), intra-EU reverse charge with VAT-ID validation, exports flagged zero-rated.

Payout reconciliation

Shopify payout matched to your bank credit; fees, chargebacks and refunds split into distinct postings; foreign-currency settlement handled.

Clean books & dashboards

Pre-coded journal entries mapped to your chart of accounts, a monthly close package, plus a live view of revenue, fees, VAT liability and net.

AI that respects your data

Tiered AI: a self-hosted model (Ollama) as the default so sensitive data stays in-house; an EU-region model only for complex cases.

EU data residency & GDPR

Hosted in the EU, self-hosted-first, tenant-isolated, data-minimised, DPA-ready — privacy is the architecture, not an afterthought.

Licensed fulfilment

The review, period close and filing are done by Centrue — licensed accountants in Cyprus. The AI prepares; the professionals sign off.

Data residency & GDPR

Your data stays in the EU — and in good hands.

Bookkeeping touches your most sensitive numbers. Centrue is built so they never leave a controlled, EU environment.

  • End-to-end EU data residency (EU hosting; EU-region AI only where needed)
  • Self-hosted-first: sensitive data does not leave the infrastructure by default
  • Strict tenant isolation & role-based access
  • Data minimisation, defined retention & deletion, DPA-ready documentation

Frequently asked

Does this replace my accountant?

Centrue is your licensed accountant. The AI does the heavy lifting — categorising orders, determining VAT, reconciling payouts — and Centrue’s professionals review, close the period and file. You get both: automation and a licensed team.

Is my data safe?

Yes, and it’s the core of the design: EU data residency, a self-hosted AI model by default (sensitive data stays in-house), strict tenant isolation, data minimisation and DPA-ready documentation.

What access do you need?

Read-only. We connect your Shopify store and bank (Revolut first) read-only — we never change anything in your accounts.

How is EU VAT handled?

Automatically per order line: Cyprus domestic rates, EU OSS for cross-border B2C (incl. the €10,000 threshold), intra-EU reverse charge with VAT-ID validation, and exports flagged as zero-rated. We prepare the OSS return; Centrue files it.

Which banks do you support?

Revolut Business first, further banks/EMIs on demand. The bank feed is used only to match payouts to deposits — lightweight and read-only.

What does it cost?

Pricing is per client and depends on volume and scope. We agree it transparently in the scoping call — no hidden fees.
