ZATCA integration is an engineering job, not a software purchase. Phase 2 requires your invoicing system to generate invoices in the approved structured XML format, stamp them cryptographically, chain them by hash, carry a UUID and QR code, and either clear them with the Fatoora platform in real time (standard, B2B invoices) or report them within the allowed window (simplified, B2C invoices), as applicable to the invoice type and the current ZATCA specification. Most Saudi businesses already have a system that produces invoices; the work is getting correct data out of it and into ZATCA’s API.
PluginZ Solutions does exactly that. We are not an accredited solution reseller with a product to push: we build or integrate the compliant invoicing component for the systems you have, whether that is a packaged ERP, a retail POS, or software written for you years ago. Our own bilingual ERP platform, Ops360, carries the same invoicing logic in production.
As of September 2026, Wave 25 brings businesses with VAT-subject revenue above SAR 187,500 in any year from 2022 to 2025 into the integration phase, with a deadline of 1 February 2027. That is a wide net, and the sandbox testing takes longer than most teams expect, so starting now is the sensible move.
What we deliver in Saudi Arabia
Wave and readiness assessment
We confirm which integration wave and deadline apply to you, then assess your ERP, POS and custom systems for the fields, sequencing and document types ZATCA requires.
Compliant invoice generation
Structured XML for standard and simplified invoices, credit notes and debit notes, with UUID, invoice counter, previous invoice hash, cryptographic stamp and QR generated inside your system, as applicable to the invoice type and the current ZATCA specification.
Fatoora platform integration
Device onboarding with the compliance and production CSIDs, clearance API calls for standard invoices, reporting API calls for simplified invoices, and handling of warnings, rejections and retries.
Sandbox testing and edge cases
Full test runs in the ZATCA sandbox including credit notes, partial returns, multi-currency, prepayments and zero-rated lines, before anything touches production.
POS and multi-branch setups
Per-device onboarding, offline queuing for simplified invoices with reporting within the window, and branch-level reconciliation for retail and hospitality groups.
Go-live and ongoing support
Production cut-over, monitoring of rejections, certificate renewals, and support for ZATCA rule changes under a retainer with named engineers.
Invoicing and Saudi work we can name
The systems we operate and the Saudi environment we delivered.
Assess, integrate, test in the sandbox, go live
Assessment in days, not months
A short paid assessment confirms your wave, maps your systems and produces a fixed-scope integration proposal.
Fixed scope and price
Integration is quoted per system and per document type, with milestone payments tied to sandbox sign-off and production go-live.
No rip-and-replace
We keep the ERP or POS you have wherever it can produce compliant data. Replacing a working system to meet a deadline is the expensive option.
Arabic and English invoices
Bilingual invoice layouts and QR presentation handled as standard, including the Arabic fields ZATCA expects.
Working hours aligned with Riyadh
Sandbox runs, cut-overs and support inside your business day; Cairo is zero to one hour behind Riyadh, depending on daylight saving time, so working hours overlap strongly.
Secure by design
Certificates, private keys and API credentials handled by a team certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, with the same care we apply to banking integrations.
