Initial Setup

Navigate to the Fiskaly Integration

Log in to Cloudbeds and go to Settings (gear icon in the left sidebar).
Select Finance from the settings menu.
Click on Austria Fiskaly in the integrations list.

FinanzOnline Authentication

This step registers your property with the Austrian tax authority and must be completed before the RKSV setup.

Under the FinanzOnline Authentication section, click Authenticate.
Enter your credentials in the dialog that appears:

Teilnehmer-ID — 8–12 digit participant identifier
Benutzer-ID — 5–12 digit user identifier
Benutzer-PIN — minimum 5 characters

Click Authentifizieren. On success, the section will display a green “FON Authenticated” confirmation badge.

Credentials are transmitted securely to Fiskaly and are not stored in plain text by Cloudbeds.

RKSV Setup

Once FON authentication is confirmed, Cloudbeds will automatically initialize the two components required by law:

SCU: Signature Creation Unit (SCU) — the cryptographic module that signs each invoice and credit note.
Cash Register: Cash Register — a logical cash register registered with FinanzOnline, assigned a unique serial number.

Both components will show an INITIALIZED status badge when the setup is complete. You do not need to take any manual action for this step.

Zero-Value Receipt (Nullbeleg)

The RKSV requires a zero-value receipt (Nullbeleg) to be generated and verified to confirm that the fiscalization system is working correctly. This is done once during setup.

Scroll to the Zero-Value Receipt section.
Click Generate Zero-Value Receipt.
Cloudbeds will create, sign, and verify the receipt automatically. A confirmation message will appear on success.

Keep a record that the Nullbeleg was generated successfully. Austrian tax auditors may request this as proof of proper initialization.

Training Mode

Training Mode lets you test the integration without generating tax-relevant documents. When enabled, all invoices are created as training documents and are not reported to FinanzOnline.

Use Training Mode only during your initial testing or when onboarding staff.
Disable Training Mode before going live to ensure all real transactions are properly fiscalized.

Training receipts are clearly marked and will not satisfy RKSV compliance requirements. Always confirm Training Mode is OFF before your property opens for business.
