What Is Paraşüt and Why Is It Ideal for E-Commerce?
Paraşüt is Türkiye’s most widely used cloud-based pre-accounting and invoicing platform. Especially popular among SMBs and businesses looking for e-commerce solutions, Paraşüt brings together e-fatura, e-arşiv invoicing, customer account tracking, income-expense management, and bank integration in a single platform.
However, using Paraşüt on its own becomes insufficient as order volumes grow. Manually entering each order into Paraşüt and issuing the invoice is a serious time loss for a business processing 50-100 orders per day. A common complaint heard from Turkish e-commerce sellers: “80 orders came in from Trendyol — I’m issuing invoices one by one and can’t get any other work done all day.”
Paraşüt integration solves this at the root. Orders from your e-commerce site or marketplaces are automatically transferred to Paraşüt, the correct invoice type is selected, and the invoice is issued. Our clients have reduced invoice issuance time by up to 90% after this integration and redirected their finance teams to strategic work.
As Zeisoft, with our expertise in e-invoice integration, we make Paraşüt an indispensable part of your e-commerce infrastructure. Note: you own the Paraşüt subscription directly — Zeisoft is service-only, no lock-in.
Automatic Invoice Issuance and Customer Type Detection
The most critical feature of Paraşüt integration is automatically determining the correct invoice type and issuing the invoice the moment an order arrives. Under Turkish regulations, e-fatura must be issued for corporate customers and e-arşiv invoice for individual customers. Issuing the wrong invoice type creates both legal risk and customer dissatisfaction.
Automatic Corporate vs. Individual Customer Detection
The integration system automatically performs these steps:
- Order data is received: Order details are pulled from your e-commerce platform or marketplace
- Tax ID check is performed: The customer’s tax ID is validated to determine corporate vs. individual status
- Correct invoice type is selected: E-fatura is assigned to corporate customers, e-arşiv to individuals
- Invoice is issued and sent: The invoice is created in Paraşüt and delivered to the customer
The entire process is completed automatically within minutes of the order entering the system. Your finance team never needs to intervene.
Automatic VAT Calculation
Even when different VAT rates apply to different product categories, the system handles the calculation correctly. VAT rates defined per product category are automatically applied to every invoice. For rate changes, a single central update is sufficient.
E-Commerce Platform Connections with Paraşüt
Whichever e-commerce platform you use, we set up automatic invoicing with Paraşüt. Each platform has its own order structure and data format; we manage these differences for you.
Shopify – Paraşüt Integration
Every order from your Shopify store is automatically transferred to Paraşüt. Customer information, product details, and payment amount are pulled, and the invoice is created. Shopify’s various payment methods and shipping processes are included in the integration.
WooCommerce – Paraşüt Integration
For your WordPress-based WooCommerce store, we connect the order flow to Paraşüt. Order status changes (payment received, shipped) automatically trigger the invoicing process.
İkas and Ticimax Integration
We also provide seamless integration with İkas and Ticimax — Türkiye-specific e-commerce infrastructures. The order flow on these platforms is matched one-to-one with the Paraşüt invoicing process.
Automatic Invoicing for Marketplace Orders
For marketplace sellers, invoicing is one of the biggest operational burdens. Issuing invoices one by one for orders from Trendyol and Hepsiburada becomes impossible during peak sales periods. Paraşüt’s own marketplace connectors are often insufficient and require an intermediate layer.
Paraşüt Invoicing for Trendyol Orders
Trendyol orders are automatically transferred to Paraşüt and invoiced. Customer information is pulled from the Trendyol order data, corporate/individual classification is performed, and the correct invoice type is issued. Trendyol-specific commission deductions are also recorded separately.
Paraşüt Invoicing for Hepsiburada Orders
Hepsiburada orders flow through the same automatic process and are invoiced in Paraşüt. Even when selling on both marketplaces simultaneously, each order is correctly invoiced. With our marketplace integration solutions, your invoicing burden does not grow as your sales channels expand.
Commission Invoice Management
Commission invoices issued by marketplaces to sellers are a critical but often overlooked part of the accounting process. The integration system:
- Automatically records commission deductions from marketplaces
- Matches commission amounts with sales revenue
- Generates detailed reports for monthly reconciliation
- Reflects commission expenses in the correct accounting categories
Refunds, Customer Accounts, and Reporting Automation
In e-commerce, return rates vary between 5% and 30% depending on the sector. Manually correcting invoices for each return is a time loss and an error risk. Paraşüt integration also automates the refund process, removing this burden.
Automatic Refund Invoices
When an order is returned or partially returned, the integration system automatically:
- Creates a refund invoice (red invoice)
- Performs the correct VAT calculation
- Updates the Paraşüt customer account
- For partial refunds, generates a correction invoice only for the returned items
Customer Account and Collections Tracking
One of Paraşüt’s strengths is its customer account management. Through the integration, a customer account is automatically created for each customer, and sales and refund movements are reflected in customer accounts automatically. Collection statuses are tracked, and open balances are reported. If you use İyzico or PayTR virtual POS solutions, payment data is automatically matched with customer accounts.
Reporting and Financial Analysis
Paraşüt integration goes beyond invoicing — it lets you track your business’s financial position in real time:
- Sales reports: Daily, weekly, and monthly sales performance
- Channel-based revenue analysis: Revenue per sales channel
- VAT reports: Periodic VAT calculations and declaration support
- Customer account reports: Receivables/payables status per customer
- Refund reports: Return rates, reasons, and financial impact
These reports are delivered through Paraşüt’s reporting infrastructure. For custom reporting needs, we also build unified dashboards that incorporate shipping integration and marketplace data.
Accounting Software Integration and Legal Compliance
Many businesses use both Paraşüt and a separate accounting software. Companies in the retail sector often use both systems together due to multi-channel sales structures. Manual data transfer between the two systems leads to duplicate records and data inconsistency.
We bridge Paraşüt integration with your existing accounting software. Order, invoice, customer account, and inventory data are automatically synchronized between the two systems. Whatever accounting software you use, we ensure compatibility with Paraşüt.
Accounting Software – Paraşüt Integration Flow
- Order arrives — From your e-commerce platform or marketplace
- Invoice is issued in Paraşüt — Automatically, in the correct invoice type
- Transferred to your accounting software — Sales record, inventory movement, and accounting entry are auto-generated
- Reports are updated — Both systems display current financial data
This way, invoicing in Paraşüt and records in your accounting software are always consistent.
2025 E-Invoice Mandate and Its Impact on SMBs
In 2025, e-commerce companies with annual revenue exceeding 500,000 TRY are required to use e-fatura. This regulation directly affects many SMBs that previously worked only with e-arşiv.
For businesses approaching or exceeding this threshold, Paraşüt integration is a critical need. Once you fall under the mandate:
- You must issue e-fatura to all corporate customers
- You must use a system integrated with GİB (Revenue Administration)
- Manual invoicing cannot keep up with legal deadlines
Paraşüt is already authorized as a GİB integrator for e-invoice issuance. We connect this infrastructure to your e-commerce operation to automate your legal compliance.
