To comply with German law, all cash register systems must be connected to a TSE (technical security system). The goal is to prevent any manipulation of sales data after it has been recorded.
At bsport, we’ve integrated with fiskaly, the first company certified by the German Federal Cyber Security Authority with maximum validity for a cloud-based TSE solution. fiskaly handles the secure, tamper-proof signing of your transactions, keeping your studio compliant with KassenSichV.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know as a studio manager.
🔧 1. Activating fiskaly in the Backoffice
Enabling fiskaly is quick and easy:
Log into your bsport Backoffice
Navigate to Settings > bsport subscription > Available Add-ons
Locate the fiskaly TSE integration upsell
Click See more, tick the confirmation checkbox, and click Confirm
Your TSE environment will be automatically created. No technical setup is needed: you can start using your compliant register immediately.
💡 Note: The TSE integration is a paid add-on to cover the cost of our certified third-party provider, fiskaly.
🧾 2. What happens when you create an invoice?
When an invoice is generated on bsport:
A transaction is initiated in the fiskaly system
There is no visible change at this stage
💡 Think of it as starting the legal record, but not finalising it yet.
💳 3. What happens when the invoice is paid?
When the customer pays:
fiskaly signs the transaction: it can no longer be altered
A QR code appears on the PDF receipt
A chip displays on the invoice page in your Backoffice
This confirms that the record of the transaction is now tamper-proof.
💡 Your member's online purchases are also signed by fiskaly. In this case, invoice creation and payment occur instantly.
⚙️ 4. Where to find your legal information
All relevant legal and fiscal information is available directly in your Backoffice:
Go to Settings > Billing
Scroll to Kassensicherungsverordnung (Germany)
Here, you'll find:
An overview of the fiskaly integration
TSE version and manufacturer details
A link to fiskaly's certification documents
A link to bsport’s Procedural Documentation
🕵️ 5. In case of an audit
If you're audited by German tax authorities:
Contact your Account Manager to export your fiskaly-signed data
Provide your auditor with bsport’s Procedural Documentation
🔐 All transactions are securely stored in fiskaly’s system and can be retrieved at any time.
