Country & tax questions
Currency
Does the software support multiple currencies?
Yes. Each business and location has its own currency, with currency symbol placement, decimal and thousand separators set for that country.
Can I run salons in two countries?
Yes, as locations with their own currency, tax and receipts; reports can be run per location.
Why are prices different per country?
We set prices for each market's buying power in round local prices, not by exchange rate.
Which countries do you sell in?
The USA, the UAE and Pakistan. If you are elsewhere, talk to us; the software itself works in most countries.
Tax
How are tax rates set up?
Add each tax rate, then combine them into tax groups where two taxes apply (for example state plus city sales tax). Apply them per product or service, inclusive or exclusive.
Does it print tax invoices?
Yes. Receipts can show your tax number (TRN, NTN or state permit), tax per rate and totals, in the layout you choose.
Do you file my tax returns?
No. The software reports tax collected; your accountant files.
Is there e-invoicing for Saudi Arabia?
A ZATCA e-invoicing module is available for businesses in Saudi Arabia. We do not claim fiscal certification in other countries.
