With this setup guide, you can set up the most important features of your GetMyInvoices Light plan in just a few steps and save valuable time on your bookkeeping. With each step, you’ll get closer to fully automated and stress-free invoice management-especially for Lexware customers.
Step 1 Install the Desktop App & Set Up Portals
Why? Set up portals to automatically import your invoices. This saves you the trouble of manually searching for and filing documents-and frees up valuable time.
For even faster and more reliable document import, we also recommend installing the Desktop App. It supports automatic retrieval and ensures a stable connection to many portals-even with two-factor authentication.
Install the Desktop App
- Click “Desktop App” in the menu bar on the left side of the dashboard or “Desktop App” in the top-right corner of the taskbar.
- Select your operating system (macOS/Apple Silicon , **macOS/Intel **, or Windows ) and start the download.
- Install the app and log in with your GetMyInvoices credentials.

Step 3 Use the Central Inbox
**Why?**By connecting your email inbox or using the central GetMyInvoices inbox, you can automate the import of invoices received via email. This is especially handy for suppliers who don’t offer their own portal.
What to do
- In the dashboard, click the envelope icon in the top right corner.
- Use the personal GetMyInvoices email address assigned to your account. Simply forward invoice emails to this address or provide it directly to your suppliers as the invoice recipient.
