ONLINE STORE ACCOUNTING
In the past few years, e-commerce has developed extremely rapidly, and the growth of sales through online stores is expected to become even greater in the future, given the advantages of online commerce, namely:
- Provides quick and easy access for customers to the desired product;
- Saves time for the buyer;
- Variety of payment options;
- The scope of sales expands – the development of sales on the Internet allows the discovery of new customers and partners in any part of the world;
- The lower operational costs needed to maintain the online store, etc.
The above, as well as many other advantages of online trading, are the reason why more and more entrepreneurs show interest and orient themselves towards this way of doing business.

- Do they need to have a cash register?
- What type of payments does not require the issuance of a receipt?

- What is the difference between cash on delivery and cash on delivery with postal money order?
- What are the specific requirements of the NRA regarding the registration of the online store and the deadlines for this?
- What documents should be issued and accompany the sold goods until they reach the end customer?
- What are the particularities of organization and documentation of deliveries if sales are made in the European Union or a third country? Which tax laws should be considered when making these supplies?
