Pakistan FBR Digital Invoicing for WooCommerce

Key Features

Direct integration with the FBR Digital Invoicing API, posting each WooCommerce order for validation and storing the full request/response for audit

Automatic IRN (Invoice Reference Number) retrieval written back to the WooCommerce order and surfaced on the customer invoice

FBR-compliant QR code generated and embedded on the order, the thank-you page and the PDF/print invoice

Digital signature captured from the FBR response and persisted against the order for verification

Sales-tax computation aligned to FBR rules, mapped from your WooCommerce tax classes and per-product tax categories

Real-time validation on order-status change (configurable trigger, e.g. processing or completed) via WooCommerce action hooks

WP-Cron retry queue with exponential backoff so transient FBR API timeouts re-submit automatically instead of failing the order

Dedicated wp-admin settings screen for NTN/STRN, environment (sandbox vs production), API token and tax mapping — no code edits

HPOS-aware: works with WooCommerce high-performance order storage (custom order tables) and legacy post-meta installs

Per-order status indicator (validated / pending / failed) in the WooCommerce orders list with one-click manual re-submit

About this Product

Pakistan FBR Digital Invoicing for WooCommerce connects your live WooCommerce store directly to the FBR Digital Invoicing API so every sale is registered with the Federal Board of Revenue at the moment it is placed. When an order reaches a configured status (for example processing or completed), the plugin builds the FBR invoice payload from your order, line items and tax lines, posts it for real-time validation, and writes back the Invoice Reference Number (IRN), the FBR QR code and the digital signature onto the WooCommerce order and the customer's PDF invoice.

This is not an instant marketplace download. ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports this integration on your WordPress site, mapped to your FBR registration profile (NTN/STRN), your sales-tax rates and your product tax categories. We tune it to your real catalogue so sales-tax is computed per FBR rules rather than a generic tax table.

Under the hood it is a proper WordPress plugin: FBR settings live in a dedicated wp-admin screen, submission runs on WooCommerce order-status hooks with a WP-Cron retry queue for transient API failures, and every request/response is logged to a custom table for audit. It is HPOS-aware (works with WooCommerce's high-performance custom order tables as well as legacy post-meta storage) and respects your existing invoice/PDF plugin where one exists.

Built for Pakistani businesses brought under the FBR digital-invoicing mandate, it removes manual portal entry, prevents un-validated dispatch, and gives you a defensible audit trail. We deliver on an honest lead time, validate end-to-end against FBR's sandbox first, then go live on production credentials with you.

What you get

A custom WooCommerce/WordPress plugin built for your store, installed by ECOSIRE on your WordPress site (staging first, then production)

FBR profile configuration: NTN/STRN, environment toggle, API credentials and tax-category mapping wired to your real catalogue

Sandbox validation run: sample orders submitted to FBR's test environment with IRN, QR and signature confirmed end-to-end before go-live

Invoice template integration so the IRN, QR code and digital signature render on your customer PDF/print invoices

WP-Cron retry queue and audit-log table installed and verified, plus an admin re-submit control for failed orders

Handover documentation covering the settings screen, the order status indicators, and a runbook for FBR credential rotation and common errors

Who this is for

Mandated retailer or wholesaler

A Pakistani business newly brought under FBR's digital-invoicing mandate that already sells on WooCommerce and needs every order validated with an IRN before dispatch, without staff re-keying invoices into the FBR portal.

Finance / tax compliance lead

The person accountable for sales-tax correctness and audit defensibility who wants FBR-rule tax computation, a stored digital signature per invoice, and a complete request/response log they can produce during an FBR review.

Store operations manager

Runs day-to-day fulfilment and needs clear validated/pending/failed flags in the WooCommerce orders list, automatic retries on FBR timeouts, and a one-click re-submit so a transient API hiccup never blocks shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pakistan FBR Digital Invoicing for WooCommerce

How long until my store is FBR-compliant after I order?

This is a build-to-order engagement, not an instant download. After purchase we schedule a short kickoff to collect your FBR registration details (NTN/STRN), tax categories and sandbox credentials. Typical delivery is around 2 to 4 weeks: we build and install on a staging copy of your site, validate sample orders against FBR's sandbox, then go live on production credentials with you. The exact lead time depends on how quickly FBR API access and your tax mapping are confirmed, and we give you a firm date at kickoff.

Do I get ongoing support and updates after go-live?

Yes. ECOSIRE installs and supports the integration on your site. Because this is custom-built for you, we handle FBR API changes, WooCommerce/WordPress version compatibility, and fixes if the FBR schema or validation rules change. Support terms (response times and the maintenance window) are agreed in your engagement; we do not abandon you to a marketplace changelog — you have a direct line to the team that built it.

Will it work with my existing PDF invoice or tax plugin?

In most cases yes. The integration is designed to write the IRN, QR code and digital signature back onto the WooCommerce order so your existing PDF/print invoice plugin can render them, and to read tax from your configured WooCommerce tax classes. During the build we inspect your specific invoice and tax setup and integrate against it. If a plugin conflicts or stores data in an unusual way, we tell you honestly and propose the cleanest mapping rather than forcing a fragile workaround.

Is it compatible with HPOS (WooCommerce high-performance order storage)?

Yes. The plugin is HPOS-aware — it works whether your store uses WooCommerce's high-performance custom order tables or the legacy post-meta storage. FBR data (IRN, QR, signature, submission status) is persisted using the order storage API so it remains correct under either mode and survives a later HPOS migration.

What happens if the FBR API is down or rejects an order?

Submission runs on order-status change and is queued, so a transient FBR outage or timeout does not break checkout. Failed or pending submissions go into a WP-Cron retry queue with backoff and re-submit automatically. The order shows a clear pending or failed flag in wp-admin, every request and response is logged to an audit table, and an operator can re-submit a single order with one click once the issue clears. If FBR returns a validation error (for example a tax or field mismatch), the message is recorded against the order so it can be corrected and resubmitted.
