You find the plugin configuration under Extensions > My Extensions > Small Business §19 UStG. It consists of two cards.
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
Small business regulation active (active) |
Switches the storefront displays and the document templates to the small business regulation. | Off |
Help text in the admin: "Activates the small business regulation according to §19 UStG. All VAT displays will be adjusted accordingly."
The setting only controls the display (storefront notices, checkout line, footer) and the documents (invoice, cancellation, credit note). It does not change tax rates or prices. That is what the product migration is for.
The setting can be overridden per sales channel: select the sales channel at the top of the plugin configuration and set a value there. The plugin reads the value for the sales channel of the current page, or of the order a document belongs to. If no sales channel is known, the general value applies.
Product tax rates and the shop's default tax rate are global. The per-sales-channel override only affects display and documents.
This card contains no settings, only the migration interface for products. It is described on the Product migration page.
All notice texts are snippets. You change them in the snippet management of the Shopware Admin (Settings > Shop > Snippets) by searching for the key. Default texts for German (de-DE) and English (en-GB) are included.
| Snippet key | Where it is used | Default text (DE) | Default text (EN) |
|---|---|---|---|
document.smallBusinessNotice |
Mandatory notice on invoice, cancellation and credit note | Gemäß §19 UStG wird keine Umsatzsteuer berechnet. | No VAT charged according to §19 UStG (German small business regulation). |
mmd-kleinunternehmer.grossTaxInformation |
Price notice on the product page, in product listings and in the offcanvas cart | Preise ohne MwSt. gem. §19 UStG zzgl. Versandkosten | Prices without VAT acc. §19 UStG plus shipping costs |
mmd-kleinunternehmer.checkout.taxLabel |
Label of the tax line in the checkout summary | Umsatzsteuer | VAT |
mmd-kleinunternehmer.checkout.noTax |
Value of the tax line in the checkout summary | Keine (§19 UStG) | None (§19 UStG) |
mmd-kleinunternehmer.footer.vatNotice |
Notice in the footer | * Alle Preise ohne MwSt. gem. §19 UStG zzgl. Versandkosten und ggf. Nachnahmegebühren, wenn nicht anders angegeben. | * All prices without VAT acc. §19 UStG plus shipping costs and possible delivery charges, if not stated otherwise. |
The footer text contains the placeholder %url%. The plugin replaces it with the link to the CMS page configured as shipping and payment information in the Shopware basic settings, and outputs the text unescaped. Keep the link markup in a customized text if the link should stay.
The document notice is a fixed snippet. It does not differ by sales channel or document type, only by language.
The effect of each text on the individual pages is described under Storefront and Documents and emails.
The Shopware 6.6 line of the plugin has two additional text fields in its configuration that override the snippets. Details are on the Technical details page.
