About this Product
E-Invoicing Compliance: UAE FTA is a build-to-order Shopify app for merchants operating in the Emirates who need to be ready for the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) e-invoicing mandate. It is not an instant App Store download — ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and configures it for your specific store, then supports it.
The app embeds in your Shopify Admin and uses the Admin GraphQL API plus order, fulfillment and refund webhooks to capture each transaction the moment it is paid. From that data it produces an FTA VAT-compliant tax invoice — bilingual Arabic/English, showing your TRN, the 5% standard rate (or 0% / exempt where applicable), VAT amount per line, and the legally required invoice fields — and a structured e-invoice document aligned to the UAE PINT-AE / Peppol BIS specification ready for the ASP/Peppol exchange model the FTA is rolling out.
Store-specific tax logic is handled, not hand-waved: TRN format validation for both your store and B2B customers, reverse-charge treatment on qualifying B2B and import scenarios, designated-zone handling, and correct zero-rated vs exempt classification. Customer TRNs, place-of-supply and compliance flags are stored in Shopify metafields so they travel with the order and stay auditable.
For filing, the app produces an automated VAT return data export (output VAT, input VAT, zero-rated and exempt totals, by period) so your VAT 201 preparation stops being a spreadsheet exercise.
Because the FTA programme and the PINT-AE specification are still evolving, ECOSIRE scopes the build to your current store setup and keeps it aligned as the mandate firms up under an agreed support arrangement. You get working software configured for your catalogue and tax profile — plus a human who built it.

Frequently Asked Questions about E-Invoicing Compliance: UAE FTA
How long does it take to build and install?
This is a build-to-order app, not an instant download. After a short scoping call to confirm your TRN setup, catalogue and tax profile, a typical build, install and configuration runs about one working week depending on complexity (B2B reverse-charge and designated-zone logic add scope). We share a firm timeline before starting and install via OAuth on your store.
Do I get ongoing support and updates as the FTA mandate changes?
Yes. The UAE FTA e-invoicing programme and the PINT-AE specification are still being finalised, so the build comes with an agreed support arrangement. We fix issues, and we keep your invoice format and e-invoice documents aligned as the official specification and ASP/Peppol requirements firm up. Support scope and term are agreed in writing before launch.
Does this connect directly to the FTA or a Peppol Access Point?
The app generates e-invoice documents in the UAE PINT-AE / Peppol BIS structure so they are ready for the FTA's accredited-service-provider (ASP) / Peppol exchange model. If you have selected an ASP/Access Point, we configure the export to feed it. We do not impersonate or replace an accredited ASP — we make your Shopify data compliant and exchange-ready.
Will it handle bilingual Arabic and English invoices?
Yes. Tax invoices are produced in both Arabic and English with your TRN, per-line 5% VAT (or 0% / exempt where applicable), VAT totals and all FTA-required fields, formatted to your branding.
Can it handle B2B reverse-charge and designated-zone sales?
Yes. We validate customer TRNs, apply reverse-charge treatment to qualifying B2B and import transactions, detect designated-zone supplies, and classify each line as standard-rated, zero-rated or exempt based on the product and place of supply. These rules are configured to your specific business during the build.
