Otto + KudTax
Connect your Otto seller account with KudTax to automatically reconcile platform fees, marketplace commissions, payouts and VAT rates across all EU countries into DATEV-ready entries.
Otto is a curated marketplace: fewer sellers, larger baskets, longer payment terms. For bookkeeping that mostly means one thing — more time passes between sale and receipt than on other channels, and invoice purchase is the rule rather than the exception. Keeping open items straight is not optional here.

What to watch for with Otto
Invoice purchase creates open items
The revenue arises on delivery; the money arrives considerably later. Booking only on receipt shifts revenue across month and sometimes year boundaries, and for the balance sheet the receivable belongs in the books at the delivery date.
The credit advice is the document
Otto settles through credit advices rather than your own outgoing invoice. That document is the record you are required to retain for the payout, and if only the bank entry is captured, an audit finds exactly that link missing.
