Retailers who serve their shop and marketplaces from one catalogue and want stock and orders in the same system. Teams that extend the system themselves or with a partner and need the source code for it. Where Nuxbe does not fit ------------------------ Nuxbe is not a complete general ledger. Balance sheet, profit and loss and VAT returns are produced by your tax advisor from the DATEV export. The channel manager currently connects Shopware 6, eBay, Amazon, Google Shopping and idealo. Further marketplaces such as Kaufland or Otto are not available. There is no ready made data migration from Xentral. Master data and open items are taken over as part of the rollout, for example through the REST API. Frequently asked questions -------------------------- Can I run Nuxbe on my own servers? Yes. The core is open source and runs on your infrastructure, while premium packages are licensed. Alternatively we operate Nuxbe for you. Which marketplaces does Nuxbe connect? Through the channel manager premium package: Shopware 6, eBay, Amazon, Google Shopping and idealo. Orders come back as orders from Shopware, eBay and Amazon. Can I switch from Xentral to Nuxbe? Yes. We first clarify which processes Nuxbe covers, then take over master data and open items. An automatic import from Xentral is not part of the standard. Is there a DATEV export? Yes, as a premium package. It hands bookings with a reference to the document over to the tax advisor.
