Variants are first-class — plans are sold by product-variant count up to 25,000 — and payment is configurable in depth: invoice, direct debit and cash on delivery are documented, with payment methods allowed or excluded per customer class, discounts on payment methods via customer classes, and a default method set per webshop client. We found no public information on bundles, tiered product pricing, guest checkout or promotion and voucher rules, and those are exactly the pieces a converting German shop needs, so this sits mid-table. 2 5 6

Invoices and shipping labels are marketed as GOBD-compliant, VAT is computed per order item, credit notes and returns deduct their VAT, and the manual carries a legal-requirements section covering procedural documentation and GDPR. We found no public information on destination-based VAT determination, VAT-ID validation with reverse charge, OSS reporting or e-invoicing, so the German tax depth rests on one compliance claim rather than documented machinery. 1 7 8

The developer surface is real: a documented REST API with tutorials, bulk routes and rights granted per module, plugin sets that can be staged before going live, free uploads to plentyMarketplace, and custom plugin development on a dedicated developers site. We found no public information on webhooks for order events, a headless storefront API, local development or documented rate limits, which keeps this in the middle band. 9 10

This is the platform's spine: OMS, WMS and CRM in every core plan, one to ten warehouses with a mobile app, automated order processing with per-plan workflow counts, GOBD-compliant shipping labels and invoices, return reasons and outgoing-goods bookings as analytics dimensions, and order intake from 150+ marketplaces with POS on top. We found no public information on partial shipments, partial refunds — and December always brings partial refunds — or dropshipping flows. "External systems, seamlessly connected" is a slogan, not a named ERP interface, so the maintained accounting link I want is only hinted at. 1 2 8 11

Export goes both ways and is documented: CSV export of product, warehouse and order data that can be revised and re-imported, custom data formats via FormatDesigner, and REST retrieval of all contacts at once. We found no public information on documented deletion, a stated data-return commitment or any hosting choice beyond the vendor's cloud, so leaving means CSVs and API calls rather than a migration path. 1 9 13 14

The contracting side is clean: PlentyONE GmbH with a Kassel address, German VAT ID, named officers, a German privacy contact, and an audit-ready EU-compliant pitch. We found no public information on where customer and order data are hosted, on the ownership behind the entity or on the subprocessor chain in the checkout path, so the sovereignty question is only half answered. 1 3 4

Four plans are publicly priced with billing period, SKU, user, warehouse and monthly revenue limits, VAT treatment stated as net plus statutory VAT, and a trial with no credit card, no subscription and no fees — more than a headline. But pricing runs on plan plus average monthly GMV with 10.000 Euro monthly revenue included at the start price, the top plan is "Auf Anfrage", and we found no public information on the price-calculation details, payment-plugin costs or minimum term, so the annual invoice for a given volume is not computable from the pages. 1 2
