Stripe is one of the most flexible ways to accept payments online. But unlike a full e-commerce platform, it doesn't generate tax-compliant Greek receipts or invoices on its own, and it definitely doesn't talk to myDATA. Someone still has to close that loop.

Here's how a Stripe–myDATA integration removes that manual step entirely, and what it means for businesses that take payments across the EU.

The problem with Stripe and Greek tax compliance

If you're a Greek business (or an EU business selling to Greek and EU customers) using Stripe for checkout, subscriptions, or one-off payments, every successful charge legally needs to become a receipt or invoice transmitted to myDATA. Doing that by hand means:

• Manually pulling payment data out of the Stripe dashboard
• Creating each document in your invoicing software
• Working out the right VAT treatment, especially for cross-border customers
• Emailing the document to the customer yourself
• Keeping a separate log for OSS reporting

At low volume this is annoying. At real volume, it's a bottleneck — and a common source of compliance errors.

How the integration works

The connection runs through Stripe Webhooks, so it reacts to payments the moment they happen:

• A customer completes a payment through Stripe (checkout, subscription charge, invoice payment, etc.).
• Stripe fires a webhook the instant the payment succeeds.
• Workadu receives it and generates the correct document type automatically, with no accounting configuration needed on your end.
• The document is transmitted to myDATA, directly or via a certified e-invoicing provider.
• A copy is emailed to your customer automatically.

Since it's triggered by the payment itself rather than by an order in a specific store platform, this works whether you're running Stripe through a custom website, a subscription business, or alongside another platform entirely.

Built-in OSS/MOSS handling

For businesses charging customers across the EU through Stripe, VAT treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. The integration handles this automatically:

• VAT calculated per customer country, matching OSS/MOSS requirements
• Automatic foreign currency conversion using the official European Central Bank exchange rate
• A consolidated VAT report by country, ready for your OSS filing
