ZATCA Approved E-Invoicing Service Providers in Saudi Arabia

Finding a ZATCA qualified e-invoicing solution is one of the key decisions for any VAT-registered business in Saudi Arabia. This guide explains how the provider directory works, what Phase 1 and Phase 2 qualification mean, lists known qualified providers, and tells you what to check before signing with any vendor. 

Key takeaways

• Phase 1 covers electronic generation only (since 4 December 2021). Phase 2 adds real-time integration with ZATCA's Fatoora portal, rolling out in waves.
• Wave 24 targets businesses with taxable revenue above SAR 375,000 (2022–2024), with a compliance deadline of 30 June 2026.
• Non-compliance penalties under Phase 2 can reach SAR 50,000 per violation.

What is the ZATCA Solution Providers Directory?

The ZATCA Solution Providers Directory is an official listing published by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) of Saudi Arabia. It identifies vendors who have voluntarily submitted their e-invoicing solutions and passed ZATCA's qualification criteria for Phase 1, Phase 2, or both.

The list is indicative and non-binding. ZATCA itself states it does not approve or endorse the e-solutions of listed providers, and the authority bears no liability for how these solutions perform. The legal responsibility for issuing compliant invoices always stays with the taxpayer.

Phase 1 vs Phase 2: What each qualification covers

ZATCA's e-invoicing programme (called Fatoorah) runs in two phases, and the directory marks each provider by which phase they have qualified for: 

Phase 1 Generation

Active since 4 December 2021. Businesses must generate and store e-invoices electronically using a compliant system. Invoices must be in XML or PDF/A-3 format, include a QR code for B2C (simplified) invoices, carry a UUID, and be tamper-resistant. No real-time connection to ZATCA is needed at this phase.

Phase 2 Integration

Rolling out in waves from January 2023. Businesses must connect their invoicing system directly to ZATCA's Fatoora portal via API. Standard (B2B) invoices require real-time clearance before delivery. Simplified (B2C) invoices must be reported within 24 hours. Cryptographic stamping and digital signatures are mandatory.

A Phase 2 qualified provider has also met Phase 1 requirements. If your business is in Phase 2 scope (or will be soon), shortlist only Phase 2 qualified providers.

How to verify a provider's official status

1. Visit the official ZATCA Solution Providers Directory at zatca.gov.sa and note the last updated date on the page.
2. Search for the provider's registered legal entity name the name on the directory is the one that matters for contract and procurement purposes.
3. Confirm whether the listing shows Phase 1 only, or Phase 2 (which also covers Phase 1).
4. Cross-check the same entity name in your vendor contract, proposal, and invoices variations in name can cause issues in audits.

How to choose the right e-invoicing provider

The directory gives you a starting point, but choosing a provider is fundamentally an integration project. Below are the criteria worth checking before committing.

Directory status and phase coverage

Confirm the provider appears on the ZATCA directory for the phase relevant to your business. Match the exact registered entity name.

ERP and POS integration

Check whether the provider supports your existing system SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, or a custom solution and what the integration method is (API, middleware, connector).

Invoice format compliance

The solution must generate UBL 2.1 XML or PDF/A-3 with embedded XML, include UUID, cryptographic stamp, QR code, and invoice hash chaining as required by ZATCA's Data Dictionary.

Rejection and error handling

Ask how the platform surfaces validation errors from Fatoora, how rejections are corrected, and whether alerts are automated or manual.

Archiving and data residency

Invoices must be stored for at least five years. Confirm whether data is hosted within Saudi Arabia if that matters for your business or your client contracts.

Uptime and support SLA

Fatoora clearance is real-time. Ask for uptime commitments, incident response times, and what happens if the integration fails during peak billing cycles.
