Create Receipt

The "Create Receipt" process is designed for scenarios where generating an individual invoice for every transaction is not feasible, such as in B2C (Business-to-Consumer) transactions. This is particularly applicable to businesses like supermarkets, retail stores, or any high-volume consumer-facing business where numerous transactions occur daily.

In a typical B2C flow, individual consumers make frequent, small-scale purchases, often without the need for a detailed e-invoice to be generated at the point of sale. For example, in a supermarket, thousands of customers may purchase items daily. Generating an individual e-invoice for every single transaction would be cumbersome and inefficient.

Instead, you can simply issue receipts to customers during the day to document their purchases. These receipts serve as proof of transaction for the customer, without needing to send each one to the tax authorities immediately.

At the end of the day (or a specified period), the receipts are consolidated, and you can generate a single e-invoice summarizing all the transactions made during that period. This e-invoice is then sent to the government or relevant tax authorities to fulfill compliance requirements.

Key Benefits of This Approach:

Efficiency: You don’t need to generate and submit an e-invoice for every individual B2C transaction. Instead, receipts are created instantly, while the e-invoice can be generated in bulk later.
Compliance: At the end of each day (or another specified interval), a consolidated e-invoice ensures that the business meets legal requirements without overwhelming the system with each transaction.
Customer Satisfaction: Receipts are generated quickly for customers at checkout, ensuring a smooth transaction process, while the business remains compliant with e-invoicing regulations.

This flow is particularly useful for businesses with a high volume of low-value transactions, as it simplifies operations while still ensuring proper tax reporting and compliance.

This API allows you to create a receipt by sending the required data in JSON format using a POST request. Below is the detailed documentation of the API endpoint and how to use the cURL command.
