EFSTA Cloud EFR for Point of Sale

EFSTA (Electronic Fiscal Standards Association) Cloud EFR (Electronic Fiscal Register) is a cloud-hosted fiscal register that records, signs, and reports every Point of Sale transaction. A Cloud EFR ensures that each transaction meets local tax authority requirements in France, Germany, and Austria.

Point of Sale connects to EFSTA Cloud EFR using an API key and secret that you get from EFSTA. For authentication details, see the EFSTA documentation.

Important
Important Only EFSTA employees create Cloud EFRs. To order a Cloud EFR, contact your EFSTA Anypoint Partner Manager.

Before you configure EFSTA Cloud EFR in Point of Sale CMS, gather this information:

  • EFSTA Cloud API Key: Issued for Cloud EFR access, found in the EFSTA Portal under country-specific company properties.
  • EFSTA Cloud API Secret: The OAuth authentication credential that EFSTA provides with the API key.
  • Tax ID: Your tax identification number, such as a VAT number, SIREN, or Steuernummer.

France, Germany, and Austria each have additional requirements beyond the API key, secret, and tax ID.

Country Additional Requirements
France A 14-digit SIRET establishment identifier and a NAF business activity classification code.
Germany Confirm with EFSTA that Fiskaly TSE (Technical Security Element) is active on the Cloud EFR. Fiskaly TSE assigns automatically to a new POS terminal or register the first time it sends a transaction to EFR.
Austria Confirm with EFSTA that PrimeSign/A-Trust signing and FinanzOnline registration are in place on the Cloud EFR before cutover.
Important
Important If you're moving from a Salesforce-hosted EFR instance to EFSTA Cloud EFR in Austria, work with EFSTA to review existing stores and terminals registered with FinanzOnline. The same store and terminal numbers send data to Cloud EFR.

EFSTA Cloud EFR uses the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow for authentication. For authentication details, see the EFSTA documentation.

Complete organization and company setup on the EFSTA Portal, with help from the EFSTA team if needed. Choose an organization structure that fits your business.
