How it works
-
1. An order comes in
A customer places an order in your store.
-
2. Invoice into Standard Books
The invoice is created with the customer details and the same lines as the order.
-
3. Payment recorded
If you want it, the payment is recorded according to the method chosen at checkout.
-
4. Stock levels
After the invoice is created, stock in Standard Books is reduced. Changes made in Standard Books reach the store.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the licence registered to the same domain the store is currently on
- Is the e-liides licence key entered correctly
- Is the e-liides licence still valid
- Are the Standard Books API keys in the right fields and entered correctly
The usual cause is incorrectly configured taxes in the store.
In your store admin panel go to WooCommerce → Settings → Tax → Standard rates.
Every row in the tax table needs the Shipping box ticked.
In that case the shipping method on the order probably has no VAT either — the order taxes have to be fixed first.
If taxes are configured per country in the store, set the tax mappings to Standard Books in the e-liides settings.
Once the tax mappings are set, all taxes arrive correctly.
There are several options, but in our experience the following works best.
In your store admin panel go to WooCommerce → Settings → Tax → Standard rates.
If you use an EU VAT plugin and the right taxes do not come through for orders with a VAT number, get in touch with our support and we will add support for that plugin.
- Add a separate row for each EU country and set the tax to that country’s VAT rate
- In the e-liides settings, map each tax to the matching Standard Books account
- The bottom row of the tax mapping table — the fallback for a missing tax — should be set to something like "0% VAT", which covers exports outside the EU
- For the "Order with an EU VAT number" row, choose the account linked to VAT-exempt sales within the European Union
Articles do not need to be added in advance. If a product on the order is missing, the article is created automatically. Existing products are matched by product code.
If Standard Books records invoice payments automatically, recording payments from the store side can be switched off per payment method.
For example, you can have payments skipped for bank links but recorded for PayPal.
