No. Shopify is an e-commerce platform, not a certified Greek e-invoicing provider — it doesn't transmit anything to myDATA on its own, no matter which payment gateway you use.
This is one of the most common misunderstandings among Greek merchants setting up a Shopify store for the first time: because Shopify handles orders, payments, and can generate order confirmations, it's easy to assume the tax side is covered too. It isn't.
What Shopify actually does
- Processes the order and payment
- Generates an order confirmation for the customer
- Tracks inventory, shipping, and customer data
What Shopify doesn't do
- Issue a legally compliant Greek receipt or invoice
- Transmit sales data to myDATA / the AADE
- Classify VAT exemptions or apply OSS rules for EU sales
An order confirmation email is not a tax document. Under AADE regulations, every sale in Greece needs a receipt or invoice transmitted electronically to myDATA — and that has to come from a certified e-invoicing provider connected to your store, not from Shopify itself.
How to close the gap
A myDATA integration listens for new orders via Shopify's webhook system and automatically generates and transmits the correct document, with no manual work on your end. If you want the full breakdown — including how OSS/VAT is handled for EU sales — see the complete guide linked below.
