Checkout never waits
The payment is done at once. The sale is sent in the background and the customer never waits for EET.
Payky is ready for Czech EET 2.0
Start Payky, connect it to EET. Done.
From 1 January 2027, Payky sends every payment it receives to EET on its own. It costs nothing, and neither does the cash register certificate from the Financial Administration.
Connecting needs a cash register certificate from DIS+, available from 1 November 2026. Until then, you can try everything with the Financial Administration's official test certificate.
Setting up Payky
Turning it on in Payky takes minutes
You'll find everything in the app under Settings → EET.
Get the certificate and unit number
In DIS+ on the MOJE daně portal, you set up a recording unit and generate a cash register certificate.
How to do it in DIS+Upload the certificate
Pick the .p12 file and enter its password. Payky checks the password, key, tax ID and validity right away.
Enter the recording unit number
The number DIS+ gave you.
Choose who the tips belong to
Tips that belong to the business are part of the sale. When they belong to the employees, Payky leaves them out.
Test the connection
A verification message checks the setup, and in the sandbox you can send a test sale too. None of it is recorded.
Turn recording on
From then on, Payky sends every payment it receives as a sale: cash, QR payments and bitcoin.
Try it today
You can get your own certificate only from 1 November 2026. In the sandbox, use one of the Financial Administration's official test certificates instead and go through recording as a dry run.
What Payky takes care of
Payky sends the records for you
Retries without signal
When the network drops, Payky keeps resending the sale until EET confirms it. Anything not through within 48 hours is flagged on the payment.
Refunds as negative sales
Money returned is recorded as a new sale with a negative amount. Payky sends it as soon as you record the refund.
Several phones, one record
Each device is its own cash register. If one goes offline, another device of the account sends its sales after ten minutes.
A confirmation on every payment
Each payment shows whether EET confirmed it, with the confirmation code. Unconfirmed sales are listed together in the settings.
Watches the certificate
Three weeks before your certificate expires, Payky's settings warn you so you can renew it in time.
Deadlines
Only a few weeks to get ready

Registration and certificates
In DIS+ on the MOJE daně portal you sign up for recording, create recording units and generate a cash register certificate.
- 1 Jan 2027
Recording starts
Sales recording starts. January runs as a pilot, but it is already standard recording.
Activating DIS+ can take up to 48 hours. Don't leave registration to the last minute.
Who it applies to
You record a sale when the customer pays you in person
Every business, individual or company, that receives recorded sales has to record them. What matters is how the customer pays.
Recorded
- Cash, always
- Card payments on the spot
- QR payments and transfers made in person
- Crypto-assets such as bitcoin
- Meal vouchers, gift vouchers, cheques and prepaid cards
Not recorded
- Online shop payments through a payment gateway
- Bank transfers against an invoice without meeting in person
- Income that isn't from business
Exempt are, for example, the state and municipalities, banks and insurers, public transport and vending machines. Full list of exemptions on eet.gov.cz
EET OFF
Flat-rate taxpayers in the first band with income up to CZK 1 million can opt out of recording. It costs an extra CZK 1,400 a month on top of the flat tax, CZK 16,800 a year. They have to sign up by the 10th day of the tax period, and the choice holds for the whole year.
Getting ready with the tax office
Three steps in DIS+
Everything is done online in the Tax Information Box (DIS+) on the MOJE daně portal, from 1 November 2026.
Log in to DIS+
On the MOJE daně portal, open Online finanční úřad and log in with your Citizen Identity, data box or Financial Administration credentials. Activate DIS+, which can take up to 48 hours, and choose "Chci začít evidovat" (I want to start recording).
Create a recording unit
A recording unit is your premises, fixed or mobile such as a stall, a website or app, or you yourself when you work at customers' places. The system gives it a number that can't be changed. That's what you enter in Payky.
Generate a cash register certificate
In the Certificates (CA EET) tab, generate a cash register certificate for free and download the .p12 file with its password. The certificate is valid for one year.
What changes
What EET 2.0 brings
Less data
Only who, where, when and how much is sent: your tax ID, recording unit, cash register, sequence number, date and time, and the total including VAT. No items and no customer data.
No mandatory receipt
The Sales Recording Act doesn't require you to print or hand out a receipt. Other rules may require a receipt, for example when the customer asks for one.
Cards and QR payments too
Card and other cashless payments taken in person are now recorded too. So EET also applies to businesses that take no cash at all.
A network outage is fine
Without internet you keep selling. The sale has to be sent as soon as the connection is back, within 48 hours at the latest.
A tax credit of up to CZK 5,000
Self-employed individuals can claim it once, for the period in which they start recording sales. How much of it you can actually use depends on the conditions set by law.
Frequently asked questions
No. The law doesn't prescribe a type of device: a phone, tablet or computer connected to the internet is enough. Payky runs on Android and in the browser.
You take the payment as usual. The sale has to be sent as soon as the connection is back, within 48 hours at the latest. Payky keeps resending it on its own until EET confirms it, and flags on the payment anything not through within 48 hours.
The Sales Recording Act doesn't require it. Other rules may, such as consumer protection law when the customer asks for a receipt.
Yes, when the customer pays in person at your place. Remote payments, in an online shop through a payment gateway or by bank transfer against an invoice, are not recorded.
Yes. The law includes crypto-assets when the customer pays in person. Payky records a Lightning payment like any other, in the crowns you sold for.
A tip that is the business's income is part of the sale. When tips belong to the employees, you set Payky to leave them out of the sale. A mandatory cover charge or service charge is not a tip and always counts.
Record the refund on the payment in Payky. EET 2.0 has no cancellation message: money returned is recorded as a new sale with a negative amount, and Payky sends it on its own.
You generate cash register certificates in DIS+ for free, there's no limit on how many, and each is valid for one year. Payky needs one per account, shared by all its devices. Payky's settings warn you three weeks before it expires.
One Payky account records to one recording unit. Create another account for each further premises; you can use the same certificate.
Flat-rate taxpayers in the first band with income up to CZK 1 million can opt out of recording for an extra CZK 1,400 a month on top of the flat tax. They have to sign up by the 10th day of the tax period, and the choice holds for the whole year. Worth doing the maths: Payky costs nothing.
Nothing. Sales recording is part of Payky for free, and the cash register certificate from the Financial Administration is free as well.
