For your Eatster devices (kiosk, cash register) to issue fiscal receipts, your restaurant must be connected to the eKasa system of the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic (Finančná správa SR). You can create the connection yourself in Eatster Admin under Prepojenia (Connections). You also use the same steps to update the data, for example when your authentication data expire or when you generate new ones.
What you will need
Identification data (XML file) – downloaded from the Financial Administration portal in the eKasa zone.
Authentication data (XML file) – downloaded from the same place.
Password for the authentication data – the password you entered when generating the authentication data.
If you don't have these files yet, follow the guides Request for code assignment for eKasa cash register, Creating authentication data for ORP eKasa and Downloading identification and authentication data.
Important: Do not open or edit the XML files after downloading them. Modifying a file (even just opening and saving it in another program) may cause the connection to stop working.
Creating a new eKasa connection
Step 1: Open the Connections section
Log in to Eatster Admin. In the left menu, under Ostatné (Other), click Prepojenia (Connections), then click the green + Nové prepojenie (+ New connection) button in the top right corner.
Step 2: Select the restaurant and platform
A form for the new connection opens on the right.
In the Reštaurácia (Restaurant) field, select the location you want to connect.
In the Platforma (Platform) field, select Ekasa (SK).
Step 3: Fill in the login credentials
In the Prihlasovacie údaje (Login credentials) section:
Next to Autentifikačné údaje (XML) (Authentication data), click Nahrať súbor (Upload file) and select the XML file with your authentication data.
In the Heslo (Password) field, enter the password for the authentication data.
Next to Identifikačné údaje (XML) (Identification data), click Nahrať súbor (Upload file) and select the XML file with your identification data.
Make sure you don't mix up the files – the authentication data and the identification data are two different files.
Step 4: Save the connection
Make sure Prepojenie aktívne (Connection active) is checked and click Vytvoriť prepojenie (Create connection). The new connection will appear in the list, where you can see its status and the last error, if any.
Updating an existing connection
You need to update the data mainly when:
your authentication data have expired,
you have generated new authentication data or changed the password on the Financial Administration portal,
you have received a new cash register code (new identification data).
Steps:
Open Prepojenia (Connections) in the left menu.
Find the restaurant's connection with the Ekasa (SK) platform in the list (use the search or the platform filter) and click it.
In the Prihlasovacie údaje (Login credentials) section, upload the new XML files and enter the current password.
Save the changes.
How do I know the connection works?
In the Prepojenia (Connections) list, check the Stav (Status) and Posledná chyba (Last error) columns. If an error is shown, the most common causes are a wrong password, swapped files, or a file that was opened or edited after downloading. In that case, download the files again from the Financial Administration portal and upload them again.
