Why accounting teams need direct integration with ZATCA

Manually uploading invoices on the authority’s portal consumes hours each month and makes it hard to track each invoice’s status. Direct integration ties your invoices to the Fatoora platform automatically as soon as they’re issued, tracks their status in real time, and surfaces the authority’s response on every invoice.

Native integration

Direct connection to Fatoora with no middleware, including a digital signature, cryptographic stamp, and embedded QR code per the authority's requirements.

Qoyod's solution

Six capabilities that make your integration with ZATCA automatic and reliable

Qoyod’s integration with Fatoora ties every invoice directly to ZATCA and tracks its status in real time until approval.

Compliant XML file for every invoice

Qoyod generates a UBL 2.1 XML file, a UUID, and a hash chain for every invoice, and adds the certified cryptographic stamp and QR code per ZATCA's Phase 2 requirements.

Direct submission to Fatoora

The system connects to Fatoora automatically and submits every invoice as soon as it's issued, with no need to open the authority's portal or copy XML files manually.

Real-time tracking of each invoice's status

The system shows each invoice's status in real time: approved by the authority, under review, or rejected, with the rejection reason where applicable, so your team can respond immediately.

Handling rejected invoices

A rejected invoice can't be resent. Qoyod shows the rejection reason and guides the correction via a credit note and a new invoice (auto-linked for standard tax invoices, manual for simplified).

Certified digital signature and embedded QR code

The system digitally signs every invoice with a certified cryptographic stamp and embeds a QR code compliant with Phase 2 requirements on both simplified (B2C) and tax (B2B) invoices.

Tax-compliance reports for the auditor

Qoyod issues reports on approved and rejected invoices, submission status, and the VAT return, ready to hand to the external auditor in PDF, Excel, and XML formats.

How Qoyod's integration with ZATCA works

Four steps from issuing the invoice to authority approval and the compliance report, in a single workflow.

Create the invoice in Qoyod as usual

Create the tax or simplified invoice with all its items, taxes, and customer details, or import it from POS or the connected e-commerce system.

The system builds the compliant XML + digital signature + QR

Qoyod converts the invoice data automatically into a UBL 2.1 XML file and adds the certified cryptographic stamp and QR code per ZATCA requirements.

Submits it directly to Fatoora

The system sends the invoice to Fatoora over the direct connection (real-time clearance for tax invoices, reporting for simplified invoices) with no manual work.

Track the invoice status and issue compliance reports

Each invoice's status appears in Qoyod's dashboard in real time, and your team can issue tax-compliance reports and the VAT return for the auditor's review at any time.

FAQ

Have some questions?

Answers to the most common questions about Qoyod’s integration with ZATCA.

What does Qoyod generate on every invoice before sending it to Fatoora?+

Qoyod generates a UBL 2.1 XML file, a UUID, and a hash chain for every invoice, adds the certified cryptographic stamp and QR code per Phase 2, then submits it directly to Fatoora with no manual work.

What happens if the authority rejects the invoice?+

When the authority rejects an invoice, Qoyod shows the rejection reason on the status dashboard. A rejected invoice can't be edited or re-sent; the correction is always a credit note plus a new, corrected invoice. For a standard tax invoice (B2B, clearance) Qoyod automatically creates and links the credit note; for a simplified tax invoice (B2C, reporting) you create the credit note manually, then issue the new invoice. Every rejected invoice stays linked to its record for review.

Does the system support both tax and simplified invoices?+

Yes. Qoyod supports tax invoices (B2B) via direct real-time clearance and simplified invoices (B2C) via 24-hour reporting, generating the appropriate QR code per type per Phase 2 requirements.

Do invoices go to the authority automatically?+

Yes. Every tax and simplified invoice is sent to the authority the moment it's approved (real-time clearance for tax invoices, reporting for simplified). There is no bulk-send and no option to pause or delay submission; each invoice is submitted individually on approval, with per-invoice status tracking.

How do I handle credit notes?+

Qoyod supports issuing credit notes tied to the original invoice and submits them to Fatoora in UBL 2.1 format with the digital signature and QR code, while updating the customer account and trial balance automatically.

Are the reports suitable for submission to the external auditor?+

Yes. Reports on approved and rejected invoices, submission status, and the VAT return export to PDF, Excel, and XML, with each invoice tied to its approval status and attachments to give the auditor a complete file.
