Still rebuilding your sales figures in a spreadsheet at the end of every month?
Accounting is where a growing store quietly loses hours: invoices raised by hand, orders re-typed, tax reports assembled from exports. The Daftra app links your Salla store to the Daftra accounting software so the two systems share the same data. In this guide, you'll learn what the Daftra integration syncs, how to create a Daftra account, how to connect it to your store, how to manage your subscription, and how to remove the app.
The Daftra app connects your Salla store to Daftra accounting software. It syncs your orders, issues compliant e-invoices and credit notes, and gives you live reports on sales, profit, and inventory, along with financial statements and tax reports, all without manual data entry.
๐ Note: The app subscription covers the integration service only. It does not include a subscription to the Daftra accounting software itself.

โ What the Daftra integration syncs
- Automatic product updates: whenever you add a product or edit an existing one.
- Automatic product category updates: the category attached to a product syncs with it.
- Automatic updates for products with variants: on both creation and edit.
- Automatic updates for grouped products: on both creation and edit.
- Full control over automatic syncing: every automatic update is optional in the integration settings. You can sync from Salla, sync to Salla, or turn automatic updates off completely.
- Better product creation from synced invoices: an improved way of creating a product for the first time when invoices are pulled in and automatic updates are switched off.
- Retry failed invoices: records that did not complete during a manual or automatic sync can be retried.
- Support for invoices containing deleted products: invoices sync successfully even when they include products that were previously deleted from Salla.
- Clearer connection details: the connected Daftra site and the connected Salla store are both labeled, so merchants running several stores or sites do not mix them up.
- Stop a manual sync: you can cancel a sync while it is still running.
