The best comprehensive and integrated point of sale (POS) system in Saudi Arabia for all types of businesses from Wazen.

Why Do You Need an Integrated Point of Sale (POS) System?

With the rapid pace of digital transformation and the growing tax compliance requirements in Saudi Arabia, traditional cashier systems are no longer sufficient. Businesses are now required to use a POS system that is:

  • Cloud-based and secure
  • Compliant with e-invoicing (ZATCA)
  • Connected to accounting, inventory, and HR systems
  • Capable of generating smart reports and performance analytics

All these features come together in Wazen POS, one of the most trusted and certified POS systems in the Saudi market.

E-Invoicing Requirements in Saudi Arabia

The Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA) mandates that all companies use POS systems supporting e-invoicing from Phase 1 (Generation & Storage) through Phase 2 (Integration & Connectivity).

Technical Requirements for E-Invoice-Compliant POS Systems

To be officially certified by ZATCA, a POS system must include several technical and tax features, including:

  • Support for generating a QR Code in every invoice for real-time verification.
  • A digitally encrypted signature proving the authenticity and source of the invoice.
  • The system must prevent editing or deletion of issued invoices.
  • Automatic transmission of invoices and reports to the ZATCA platform, either in real time or at scheduled intervals.
  • Every invoice must have a unique serial number to prevent duplication and enhance traceability.

Wazen POS is fully certified and supports all e-invoicing requirements.

What Should an E-Invoice Include?

According to ZATCA standards, every e-invoice generated from an approved POS system must contain:

  • Business name and commercial registration number (matching ZATCA’s registration data).
  • VAT registration number of the business.
  • Accurate date and time of issuance.
  • Unique invoice serial number (non-repetitive).
  • Subtotal before VAT, along with VAT rate and value.
  • Total amount after VAT.
  • Payment method (Mada, cash, bank transfer, credit card, or e-wallet).
