Steps to Set Up an Online Store
- Register Your Business: The first step is to register your business with the Trade Register. This legal requirement ensures your business is recognized and can operate within Turkey.
- Choose a Website Name: Select a unique and relevant name for your online store. This name will be used for your domain, which you need to register.
- Create Your Website: Develop your online store's website. Ensure it complies with Turkish Internet and e-commerce laws, including necessary security protocols to protect customer data.
- Display Company Information: Your website must clearly display essential information about your company, such as the trade name, email address, and phone number.
- Implement E-Archive Invoices: In Turkey, online stores must issue e-Archive invoices for their transactions. This requirement is part of Turkey's advanced fiscalization system, which mandates real-time reporting of both B2B and B2C invoices.
Here are the steps to comply with this requirement:
- Register for E-Invoicing: Sign up for the e-Archive system on the Turkish Revenue Administration (TRA) portal or through an authorized intermediary.
- Prepare Invoices: Create your invoices in the UBL-TR XML format, the standard for electronic invoices in Turkey, and issue them manually through the TRA portal or automatically through a dematerialization partner.
- Send Invoices: Send the e-Archive invoices directly to your customers via email, SMS, or as a printed document.
