Everything you need to know about ZATCA e-invoicing Phase 2 (Integration) and how E-Fatorah supports it.
Updated 13 Aug 2026
Description
ZATCA e-invoicing Phase 2 (the Integration Phase) requires businesses to link their systems directly with the ZATCA "Fatoora" platform, so invoices are generated in a digitally signed electronic format with a QR code, and sent to or logged with the authority in real time. E-Fatorah is fully compliant with this phase's requirements.
What E-Fatorah Provides for This Phase
- Generating invoices in a digitally signed XML format per ZATCA specifications.
- Embedding a QR code on all tax and simplified invoices.
- Direct onboarding with the ZATCA API portal.
- Clearance of tax invoices with the authority, and reporting of simplified invoices within the regulatory timeframe.
- Secure electronic archiving of all issued and received invoices.
Steps to Activate Integration
- Make sure your business data (tax number, commercial registration, national address) is complete on the "Business Profile" page.
- Go to "Settings" then "ZATCA Phase 2".
- Follow the onboarding steps and enter the OTP code issued from the ZATCA portal.
- Once onboarding succeeds, all invoices will automatically be issued in a compliant format and sent to ZATCA without any extra action.
