FAQ
We've gathered the questions we hear most, before and during your time with Olvano.
Do I have to be VAT-registered?
No. Olvano works whether or not you're a VAT payer. If you aren't, you invoice without tax and we watch your turnover, warning you as you near the threshold.
Does Olvano fetch company details for me?
Yes. Just enter a business ID and Olvano fills in the name, address, and VAT number from your national business register — for your account and for your clients.
How does payment matching work?
We compare incoming payments against open invoices by variable symbol and amount. On a match, the invoice is marked paid automatically. See the Invoicing chapter for more.
Can I invoice in a foreign currency?
Yes — we support EUR, USD, and others, including storing the exchange rate. For EU supplies we also handle reverse charge.
Can Olvano connect to other systems?
Yes, through the REST API and webhooks. Create a token to invoice programmatically or listen for events. See the API chapter for details.
What happens when an invoice is overdue?
Olvano can send automatic reminders on a schedule you set. The invoice is flagged as overdue, so you don't have to track anything by hand.
Is my data safe?
We store data in the EU and every account is isolated. You control access with team member roles.
