An online store powered by Dinero handles your bookkeeping for you
Dinero is the most widely used accounting system among new Danish businesses, and it’s designed to be simple and straightforward. If you have a Shoporama store and want your bookkeeping to run without any manual work, the Dinero integration is often the right choice, especially if you don’t need complex inventory management or B2B accounts receivable handling.
Shoporama offers a modern and smart Dinero integration based on OAuth, which automatically maintains the connection and transfers orders, customers, and credit memos in the background.
How the Dinero Integration Works
The integration runs via Dinero’s official API. When a customer places an order in your online store:
- The order is created in Shoporama with line items, shipping, discounts, and customer data
- Shoporama sends the order to Dinero as an invoice or accounting document
- The customer is created as a contact in Dinero (or is automatically identified based on their email or business registration number)
- The invoice is automatically posted in Dinero with the correct VAT code based on the customer’s country
- If you later issue a refund for the order, a credit memo is automatically sent to Dinero
You’ll see your orders as regular invoices in Dinero, ready for bookkeeping and VAT reporting, without having to manually enter a single number.
What do you get as a store owner?
- Automatic OAuth connection. You log in to Dinero directly from the Shoporama admin panel and grant permission. No API keys to find, no technical hurdles.
- Auto-posting. Invoices are automatically posted in Dinero, so you don’t have to go in and post each one manually.
- Automatic credit memos. When you issue a refund in Shoporama, the system automatically sends a credit memo to Dinero that matches the original invoice. You save both time and reduce the risk of errors.
- Automatic customer management. Customers are created as contacts in Dinero with their name, address, phone number, email, and CVR number. Existing customers are recognized based on their email or CVR number.
- Correct VAT applied automatically. Danish customers are posted with Danish VAT. EU customers without a CVR are posted accordingly. Customers outside the EU are posted as exports. The setup runs automatically.
- Token renewal without manual effort. Shoporama automatically renews the Dinero connection in the background, so you don’t have to log in and reactivate the integration.
How to Get Started
- Create a Dinero account if you don’t already have one. Dinero offers a free plan for smaller shops.
- Go to Settings and Dinero Integration in the Shoporama admin panel.
- Click “Connect with Dinero.” You’ll be redirected to Dinero, where you’ll log in and grant Shoporama permission to create invoices in your account.
- Choose whether invoices should be posted automatically or saved as drafts.
- Test with a single order before enabling it for all orders.

What You Should Keep in Mind
The Dinero integration is simple and smart, but it’s not for everyone. Here are three things you should know:
- No product or inventory sync. Dinero doesn’t have inventory management like e-conomic. Inventory is managed exclusively in Shoporama. If you need centralized inventory management across channels, a web store with e-conomic is a better choice.
- Fewer customization options. e-conomic offers more options for defining customer groups, product groups, and VAT logic. Dinero is intentionally simpler, and this may feel like a limitation if you have complex accounting needs.
- The token may expire after prolonged inactivity. If Shoporama hasn’t contacted Dinero for a long time, the token may become invalid. You can always restore the connection with a single click from the Shoporama admin panel.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dinero in the Web Store
What is the difference between e-conomic and Dinero on Shoporama?
e-conomic is the most flexible option, especially for shops with complex needs (inventory, B2B, customer groups). Dinero is simpler and more automated, with features such as automatic credit memos. See our e-conomic page for a comparison.
Can I start with Dinero and switch to e-conomic later?
Yes. You can switch at any time. We recommend choosing based on your current needs rather than optimizing for a hypothetical future setup.
What happens if Dinero is down?
Orders from Shoporama are queued and will be transferred as soon as Dinero is back online. You won’t lose any data, and your online store will continue to function normally.
Will the Dinero integration be broken if I change my password?
No. OAuth does not use your password. The connection is only broken if you explicitly remove Shoporama from your apps in Dinero, or if the token expires after a prolonged period of inactivity.
Can I choose which orders are transferred?
Yes. You can choose to transfer only paid orders or only shipped orders. This gives you control over when an order becomes a posted invoice.
What happens to existing orders from before the integration was activated?
They are not transferred automatically. If you need to import historical orders into Dinero, they must be created manually or via an export.
How are B2B customers handled?
B2B customers with a CVR number are created as regular contacts in Dinero. If you have advanced B2B workflows (EAN invoicing, special customer groups), e-conomic may be a better choice.
Do I need to create my products manually in Dinero?
No. When an order is imported, line items are automatically created in the invoice. Dinero does not have a separate product catalog like e-conomic does, so this isn’t necessary.
Can I have multiple shops on the same Dinero account?
Yes. You can have multiple Shoporama stores that post transactions to the same Dinero account. Be sure to distinguish between revenue sources using invoice notes or similar methods if you want to see revenue broken down by store.
Ready to handle your bookkeeping yourself?
An online store with Dinero is the simplest way to automate your bookkeeping if you run a small or medium-sized shop. You’ll typically save 1 to 5 hours a week on manual accounting tasks, and credit memos are handled correctly without any effort on your part.
