Integrating with the E-Receipt System: Steps & Technologies

In the digital age, electronic receipts have become an integral part of modern commerce operations. They represent documents that record every B2C sale transaction and are sent to the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) to ensure transparency and compliance with Egyptian laws, enhancing business efficiency and making sales operations more reliable and effective.

An electronic receipt is a digital document created upon the completion of each transaction between the seller and the end consumer. These receipts are sent to the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) to record and monitor commercial transactions. Using electronic receipts helps companies comply with tax laws, increase transparency in financial activities, and protect consumer interests.

A large number of taxpayers dealing with individuals are now required to send electronic receipts to the Egyptian Tax Authority. To check if you are among them, you can visit the Egyptian Tax Authority's website by clicking on this link: https://www.eta.gov.eg/en/ereceipt-inquiry, and then enter your tax registration number. All details about Egyptian laws related to electronic receipts are available there.

Let's clarify that according to the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), every device used to send electronic receipts is called a Point of Sale (POS) device.

The solutions can be divided into two groups:

1. Certified Point of Sale (POS) Devices:

What does this mean?

You will need to purchase devices certified by the Egyptian Tax Authority to send electronic receipts. These devices can be POS terminals that support integration with the electronic receipt system.

2. Integrated Inventory Management Systems:

What does this mean?

Instead of purchasing separate devices, you can use your own devices with an inventory control system installed on them that is already integrated with the electronic receipt system.

For example, Pulsar's inventory control system provides this integration, allowing electronic receipts to be sent directly from the inventory control system.

This simplifies the business operations management process and reduces manual work and errors.

If you are looking to improve sales operations and increase transparency in your business activities, registering the POS devices you will use to send electronic receipts on the Egyptian Tax Authority's (ETA) portal is a necessary step to achieve this goal. By following the correct steps to register POS devices, you will be able to easily send electronic receipts and ensure full compliance with legal requirements.

Let's review together the basic steps for successful integration with the electronic receipt system:

1. Coding goods and services using barcodes:

According to the Egyptian Tax Authority, all goods and services must be coded with barcodes to be used at the sale operation and to send their data in electronic receipts to the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA).

• GS1 (Global Standard Barcodes): These are approved by the Egyptian Tax Authority but they are paid.
• EGS (Egyptian Goods and Services Barcodes): These are local codes that you can obtain for free and get approval to use from the Egyptian Tax Authority. Pulsar's inventory control system allows you to create EGS barcodes instantly for all your goods and services.

2. Setting up the integration of your POS devices with the electronic receipt system through Pulsar:

When using the Pulsar system, you need to enter the operating system of your device, and integration data such as the Client ID and Client Secret you received from the Egyptian Tax Authority, as well as the device's serial number to ensure successful integration with the electronic receipt system.
