What is Quaderno?
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, Quaderno automates indirect-tax compliance for online businesses. Visma acquired Quaderno in 2023, while the product continues to be sold under the Quaderno name.
Quaderno is a cloud tax-compliance platform for SaaS, e-commerce and digital-product companies. It connects to payment processors, storefronts and billing tools, then uses transaction, customer-location and product data to calculate sales tax, VAT and GST. The service generates compliant invoices and credit notes, monitors tax exposure and produces reports for businesses selling across borders. A public API and CSV import support custom setups, while native connectors reduce the need to rebuild tax workflows around each sales channel.
The product covers automatic calculation in more than 150 countries and regions, all US states with sales tax, and selected Canadian provincial systems. It supports threshold monitoring, tax IDs, tax-inclusive pricing, reporting, registration workflows and filing services where available. The important boundary is that calculated coverage is not the same as a filing obligation: supported jurisdictions can still require manual rates, and registration and filing are separate, quote-based services rather than features included in every subscription.
Quaderno is aimed at online businesses and accountants managing SaaS, digital goods and e-commerce transactions across multiple jurisdictions. Subscription pricing is based on monthly transaction volume, with Hobby through Growth plans and larger Enterprise tiers; public pricing starts at $24 per month on the current pricing page, while annual billing saves the equivalent of two months. Every plan starts with a seven-day trial and does not require a credit card. Registration and filing costs are quoted separately by jurisdiction and scope.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Covers calculation across more than 150 countries and regions, with all US sales-tax states included.
- Connects multiple sales channels and payment processors so reports can combine otherwise fragmented transaction data.
- Public plans are straightforward and include unlimited users, jurisdictions and integrations above Hobby.
- Offers a seven-day no-card trial and a separate registration and filing service for businesses that need managed compliance.
Cons
- Tax calculation coverage does not mean Quaderno automatically registers or files in every supported jurisdiction.
- Registration and filing require a separate quote and are limited to the jurisdictions and services Quaderno can manage.
- The Hobby plan limits users, jurisdictions and integrations to one each.
- If an upstream platform omits billing address, VAT number or location evidence, Quaderno cannot recover that missing data through an integration.

- Digital-product businesses that want compliant invoices and tax reports without building a tax engine.
- E-commerce operators consolidating Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon and payment data in one tax workspace.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Quaderno cost?
+
The current public plans start at $24 per month for Hobby, followed by $41 Startup, $83 Business and $124 Growth. Enterprise pricing is custom, annual billing saves the equivalent of two months, and registration or filing is quoted separately by jurisdiction.
How quickly can a business get started?
+
Quaderno says plans include a seven-day free trial with no credit card. Native connections can be configured through OAuth or API keys, while custom systems can use the API or CSV import; the setup time depends on the number of channels and jurisdictions.
How does Quaderno compare with Stripe Tax?
+
Quaderno is a standalone multi-channel tax-compliance workspace with invoicing, reports, threshold monitoring and integrations beyond Stripe. Stripe Tax is tightly integrated with Stripe and offers its own calculation, registration and filing options, so the better fit depends on whether the business needs a broader independent data hub or primarily sells through Stripe.
Which integrations does Quaderno support?
+
Native integrations include Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless, Square, Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon FBA, Kajabi and Easy Digital Downloads. Quaderno also lists accounting connections such as Xero and QuickBooks Online, plus API and CSV options; some platforms connect indirectly through Stripe or PayPal.
Who is Quaderno for?
+
Quaderno targets SaaS, e-commerce and digital-product businesses selling internationally, as well as accountants supporting those clients. It is particularly useful when sales are split among multiple storefronts, processors or billing platforms and the business needs consolidated tax reports.
How accurate and secure is Quaderno?
+
Quaderno calculates rates using location, product type, registered jurisdictions and applicable thresholds, but the result depends on complete and accurate transaction data and correctly configured registrations. Its filing terms state that specialists may deliver services and limit the service scope to indirect tax; Quaderno’s site describes GDPR compliance and security support through Visma, but no independent accuracy guarantee should be inferred.
