The Fatoora Platform: The Digital Heart of Saudi E-Invoicing

As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues its rapid digital transformation under Saudi Vision 2030, the Fatoora Platform has become the central hub for every business. Managed by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), this platform is the engine behind Phase 2 (Integration Phase), ensuring that every transaction is transparent, secure, and compliant.

For businesses in Jeddah and Riyadh, understanding the Fatoora Platform is no longer just a technical requirement, it is the key to uninterrupted operations.

What Exactly is the Fatoora Platform?

The Fatoora Platform is ZATCA’s official portal where businesses “onboard” their invoicing systems. Think of it as the digital gateway that connects your company’s internal software to the government’s tax system.

Under ZATCA Phase 2, your software must communicate with the Fatoora Platform to validate invoices in real-time. This ensures that every SAR generated is accounted for and formatted according to national standards.

The Three Core Functions of the Fatoora Portal

Navigating the platform involves three main technical stages, and Zatify’s expert team ensures your business handles each one perfectly:

1. Onboarding:This is the initial setup. Your system generates a unique security code (OTP) from the portal to link your devices. We help you obtain your Cryptographic Stamp Identifier (CSID), which acts as your digital “passport” for every invoice.
2. Clearance (B2B):For business-to-business sales, the Fatoora Platform acts as a gatekeeper. Your invoice must be sent to the platform and “cleared” before you can legally issue it to your client.
3. Reporting (B2C):For retail or consumer sales, the platform receives your data within 24 hours of the sale. This ensures your ZATCA phase 2 POS systems are always in sync with the authority.

Why the 2025 Deadlines Matter

As of late 2025, ZATCA has accelerated the integration waves. Wave 22 taxpayers—those with a taxable turnover exceeding SAR 1 million—must complete their integration with the Fatoora Platform by 31 December 2025.

Missing these deadlines can lead to significant penalties and can even halt your ability to claim input VAT. Zatify simplifies this transition, handling the complex API connections so your finance team doesn’t have to.
