German law (KassenSichV) requires all point-of-sale and front-desk payment systems to use a certified Technical Security System (TSS) to digitally sign every transaction. Cloudbeds integrates with Fiskaly DE to meet this requirement automatically.
Who needs to use this functionality?
If your property exclusively processes payments through online channels (e.g. OTA bookings, payment links, or other e-commerce flows) with no on-site, front-desk, or POS payments, the KassenSichV requirement does not apply and this integration is not needed. TSE fiscalization via Fiskaly DE is only required where payments are accepted on-site.
Once configured, every payment posted in Cloudbeds generates a TSS-signed fiscal receipt with a QR code — no manual steps required at the front desk. The integration also provides tools for daily cash register closings (Kassenabschluss) and transaction data exports, all within Cloudbeds.
Training Mode: The integration starts in Training Mode by default. Transactions processed in Training Mode are not reported to the German fiscal authority. Use this mode to fully test your setup before going live.
