Key Features

Per-line VAT category mapping: 5% standard, 0% zero-rated, and exempt, configured in a dedicated WooCommerce settings tab

Full HPOS / custom order tables compatibility — no reliance on legacy post-meta order storage

WP-Cron (or system cron) retry queue for transient Access Point failures, with exponential backoff

Custom audit-log database table recording every submission, payload hash, response code, and status change for FTA inspection

Hooks into woocommerce_order_status_completed and woocommerce_checkout_order_processed; extensible via custom actions and filters for your own logic

wp-admin order list column and per-order panel showing e-invoice status (queued, submitted, accepted, rejected) with a manual re-submit action

Credit-note / refund handling that emits a corrective Peppol document linked to the original invoice

About this Product

UAE e-invoicing is becoming mandatory under the Federal Tax Authority's framework, which mandates the Peppol 5-corner model and the PINT-AE invoice specification. This plugin makes your WooCommerce store ready for it — without replacing your existing accounting stack or order flow.

ECOSIRE builds this plugin to order, then installs and configures it directly on your WordPress site. It is not an instant download from WooCommerce.com or WordPress.org. After purchase, our team scopes your tax setup, builds against your theme and any existing invoicing plugins, deploys to staging, and goes live with you.

How it works technically: the plugin hooks into WooCommerce order lifecycle events (woocommerce_order_status_completed, woocommerce_checkout_order_processed) and is fully HPOS / custom order tables compatible. On a qualifying order it generates a UBL 2.1 / PINT-AE XML document, validates the seller and buyer TRN (Tax Registration Number) format and checksum, applies the correct 5% / 0% / exempt VAT treatment per line item, and renders a human-readable bilingual Arabic + English PDF invoice. The XML is then submitted to your chosen Peppol Access Point over its API; acknowledgements and rejections are written back to order meta and surfaced in wp-admin.

Retries for transient Access Point failures run on WP-Cron (or a real system cron we configure). Every submission, response code, and status transition is logged to a custom table for FTA audit purposes. Settings live under a dedicated WooCommerce settings tab — TRN, branch details, Access Point credentials, and VAT category mapping.

You own the code on your server. We hand over documentation and remain on call for FTA spec changes.

What you get

Custom-built WooCommerce plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site (production + staging)

Configuration of TRN, branch details, VAT category mapping, and Peppol Access Point credentials in wp-admin

Connection and end-to-end test of one invoice submission through your nominated Peppol Access Point

Bilingual Arabic/English VAT invoice PDF template matched to your branding

Database migration that creates the audit-log table and registers WP-Cron retry events

Admin and accounting-team handover documentation plus a short walkthrough session

Defined post-launch support window for bug fixes and FTA specification updates

Who this is for

UAE-based WooCommerce merchant facing the mandate

A VAT-registered online retailer in Dubai or Abu Dhabi who needs to be e-invoicing-ready before the FTA deadline but does not want to rip out their existing WooCommerce store or accounting workflow.

Operations / finance lead at a UAE SME

Owns tax compliance and reconciliation, needs auditable submission logs, bilingual invoices, and correct VAT categorisation per line item without manually re-keying orders into a separate portal.

Agency or developer maintaining a UAE client's store

Manages a client's WooCommerce site and wants a properly engineered, HPOS-compatible plugin with clean hooks and filters they can extend, rather than a brittle in-house script or a generic plugin that ignores PINT-AE.

Frequently Asked Questions about WooCommerce UAE FTA E-Invoicing (Peppol)

Is this an instant download I can install myself?

No. This is a build-to-order plugin. ECOSIRE builds it against your specific WooCommerce setup, then installs, configures, and tests it on your WordPress site. It is not sold as a self-serve download on WooCommerce.com or WordPress.org.

How long does delivery take after I purchase?

Typical delivery is around 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff, depending on your tax configuration, theme, and which Peppol Access Point you use. After purchase we run a short scoping call, build on staging, then schedule the go-live with you. Complex multi-branch or multisite setups can take longer and we'll confirm a date up front.

What about ongoing support and updates when the FTA spec changes?

The price includes a defined post-launch support window for bug fixes and minor adjustments. The UAE FTA and Peppol PINT-AE specifications evolve, so we offer continued maintenance to keep your plugin compliant. We'll quote a maintenance arrangement based on your needs rather than leaving you on an unsupported version.

Do I need a Peppol Access Point, and can you connect to mine?

Yes — under the UAE 5-corner model, invoices are exchanged through accredited Peppol Access Points, so you need an account with one. The plugin submits over the Access Point's API. We connect to your chosen provider and run a live end-to-end test as part of delivery. We do not resell Access Point services.

Will it work with my existing invoicing or accounting plugin?

In most cases yes. The plugin is built to coexist with your current WooCommerce order flow and is HPOS-compatible. During scoping we review any existing PDF-invoice or accounting-sync plugins to avoid conflicts, and we can hook our e-invoice generation alongside or in place of your current document logic as needed.
