LightKasse has been open for business at a large Berlin shop for two months — every day, every sale, every end-of-day close. We watch it work, fix what we see, and open the waitlist to the next shops once we trust it fully.

Fewer things
to worry about.

01

Never a lost sale.

The shop keeps running when the internet doesn't. Cards, cash, receipts — all the way through. When connection comes back, everything catches up on its own. No awkward "our system is down" moments at the counter.

0 downtime
02

Finanzamt-ready, on autopilot.

Every receipt signed, every record kept the way Germany asks. When the tax office wants a file, one click gives them exactly what they expect. When rules change, we update quietly in the background — your job stays selling.

One click
03

Ten seconds to close the day.

End-of-day is a single calm tap. Your numbers are already where they need to be — for you, for your accountant, for the tax office. Go home. The shop takes care of itself tonight.

The short answers.

What happens when the internet goes down?

The register keeps selling. Card payments, cash, printed receipts — all continue normally. Everything syncs automatically once the connection is back. You won't notice it; neither will your customers.

Is it accepted by the Finanzamt?

Yes. LightKasse is built to the German cash register requirements from day one — signed receipts, audit-proof records, and the official export the tax office asks for. All there, always ready.

Do I need special hardware?

No. A Mac and, if you want paper receipts, a standard thermal printer. Card payments work through SumUp — nothing extra to buy or install.

Does my accountant get what they need?

Yes. We produce the standard file German accountants already work with (DATEV). Send it once a month — that's it.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, no questions asked. Your data stays yours — we help you export everything before you go.

I want the technical details.

Fair. Everything — standards, integrations, architecture, API — lives on the Docs page.
