Compliant invoices, built into your POS
Every sale gets a proper VAT receipt with the official FTA QR code — automatically. And when your business grows, the same system is ready to generate standardised PINT-AE e-invoices too.
Get the compliance you need — without the complexity
For cafés, salons, restaurants and small shops, the day-to-day requirement is simple: issue a VAT-compliant receipt with the correct tax amount and the official FTA VAT QR code. Pause POS does this automatically on every sale — no setup, no extra fees.
If and when your business grows into full UAE e-invoicing (for example selling to other businesses, B2B), the same system is ready. It generates PINT-AE (UBL 2.1) e-invoices and a compliance record you can hand to your accountant or Solution Provider.
Your invoice, tracked end-to-end

A sale is rung up in the POS. A VAT receipt with the official QR code is printed instantly.

Hand your XML to an accountant or Solution Provider when you're ready for full FTA e-invoicing.

Invoicing & E-invoicing FAQ
Is a special e-invoicing setup required for my small shop?
No. You get VAT-compliant receipts with the official FTA QR code from day one, with no ASP account or e-invoicing subscription.
Does Pause POS submit invoices to the UAE FTA?
No. Pause POS generates compliant receipts and standardised PINT-AE e-invoices. Submitting to the FTA is done through a Solution Provider (ASP) you choose, when you're ready.
Do I need an ASP (like ClearTax or Flick)?
Not to run your POS and issue compliant receipts. You only need an ASP if and when you decide to do full FTA e-invoice submission.
What is the FTA QR code on my receipts?
It's the regulator-required VAT QR code containing your TRN and sale details. Pause POS prints it automatically on every receipt.
What if I start selling to businesses (B2B) later?
Your receipts already carry the data needed. When you grow, you can generate PINT-AE e-invoices and share them with your accountant or Solution Provider.
