Frequently asked questions
Short answers for Saudi SMEs and freelancers using this free Phase 1 generator.
Is this Phase 1 or Phase 2 (Fatoora API)?
This tool creates Phase 1 compliant Tax Invoice PDFs with TLV Base64 QR codes (tags 1–5). Phase 2 Fatoora API clearance/reporting is not included yet.
What is the difference between Simplified (B2C) and Tax Invoice (B2B)?
Simplified invoices are for consumers. Standard tax invoices are for business buyers and require a buyer name. Buyer VAT is optional but recommended when available.
What must the seller VAT number look like?
Enter exactly 15 digits. The QR payload uses this VAT number with seller name, UTC timestamp, total, and VAT amount.
Which PDF templates are available?
Classic A4, Compact A4, and an 80mm thermal receipt layout. You can also download the QR as PNG or Base64 text.
Do you store my invoices?
Guests can keep a draft in browser localStorage. Logged-in users get invoice history and a seller profile saved on the server. Logo uploads are not kept in drafts.
Does the QR include address or CR number?
No. Phase 1 QR encodes only seller name, VAT, timestamp, total, and VAT amount. Address, CR, due date, and theme appear on the PDF only.
