Features — how Fatura Go works
Fatura Go is FTA-compliant VAT invoice software for UAE sellers, freelancers, small businesses, and Shopify merchants who need to create, send, and archive tax invoices without a full accounting suite.
Last updated:
Sales documents
Create and send unlimited UAE tax invoices
From Invoices, create a document, add the client and line items, then send by email or WhatsApp or download the PDF. The invoice is numbered and archived once issued.
Create quotes and convert a quote into an invoice
Build a quote like an invoice, send it for approval, then convert it — line items and client details carry over so you do not retype the sale.
Issue credit notes against a paid or unpaid invoice
Open a paid or sent invoice and create a credit note against it. The original invoice is never altered — the credit note is its own numbered tax document, and only once sent does it reduce the VAT report.
Create delivery notes
From a sale or order context on Business, create a delivery note listing what was shipped. It sits alongside the invoice as a fulfilment record, not a tax document.
Create purchase orders and track suppliers
On Business, keep supplier records and raise purchase orders from them. Orders stay linked to the supplier so purchasing history is in one place.
Schedule recurring invoices
Set an interval and a start date on a client, and invoices are generated automatically on schedule as drafts you can review before sending.
Save invoice templates and reuse them
Save a common set of line items as a template, then start a new invoice from that template so repeat work is fill-in-the-blanks instead of blank.
Maintain a product and service catalogue with autocomplete on line items
Add products and services once in the catalogue; when you type a line item, matching catalogue entries autocomplete with description and price.
Getting paid
Mark invoices paid or unpaid and track payment dates
On an invoice, mark it paid and record the payment date (or leave it unpaid). Status and dates show on the invoice list and in client balances.
Send automatic payment reminders by email
Turn on reminders for overdue invoices; the app emails the client on schedule so you do not chase every balance by hand.
Share documents by email, WhatsApp, or a downloadable link
From any invoice, quote, or credit note, choose email, WhatsApp, or download. The client gets a PDF (or a link to it) without leaving the app.
Give a client a private portal showing their documents and outstanding balance
On Pro, open a client and share their portal link. They see their invoices, quotes, and what is outstanding in one private place — no login for you to manage per document.
Set a per-client credit limit
On a Business client record, set a credit limit. New invoices are checked against that limit so you can see when a client is about to over-extend.
Generate a client statement of invoices and balances
From a client, generate a statement covering their invoices and balances for a period — useful when they ask what they owe.
VAT and compliance
Issue FTA-compliant tax invoices with required UAE fields
Add your business TRN once in settings; every tax invoice then includes the title, TRNs, VAT breakdown, and totals the FTA expects for a UAE VAT invoice PDF.
Automatically choose full vs simplified tax invoice (customer TRN or AED 10,000 rule)
When the customer has a TRN or the total is over AED 10,000, Fatura Go uses a full tax invoice; otherwise it uses a simplified tax invoice — you can still check the type before sending.
Calculate 5% VAT, including zero-rated and exempt lines
Set each line as standard (5%), zero-rated, or exempt. VAT and totals update on the document so the PDF matches what you charged.
Put supplier and customer TRNs on documents
Store the TRN on the business profile and on each client; both appear on full tax invoices when present, ready for B2B reclaim.
View a VAT report broken down by VAT type for a tax period / quarter
Open the VAT report, pick the period, and see standard, zero-rated, and exempt amounts — a snapshot for EmaraTax filing season, not an automatic filing.
Export an accountant Excel pack (multi-sheet: invoices, credit notes, expenses, VAT summary)
On Pro, export the accountant pack for a period. You get a multi-sheet Excel file with invoices, credit notes, expenses, and a VAT summary to hand over at quarter end.
Keep issued invoices in your account history
Issued documents stay in your account history so you can reopen or resend them later — supporting FTA record-keeping without a separate archive tool.
Expenses
Track expenses with categories
In Expenses, add an expense with amount, date, and category. Entries feed the P&L so spending is visible next to sales.
Attach receipts to expenses
Attach a photo or file to an expense when you save it. The receipt stays with that expense for later checks or your accountant.
Keep supplier records
On Business, maintain supplier profiles (and use them on purchase orders) so supplier bills and orders share one contact list.
View profit and loss from sales and expenses
Open P&L to see sales against expenses for a period — a simple profit view, not a full general ledger.
AI
AI fills a form for your review. It never saves or sends a document on its own.
Scan a receipt or supplier bill with the camera and have amount, date, VAT, and supplier fields read into a form
In Expenses, choose Scan with AI and take a photo. The amount, date, VAT, supplier and category are read and filled in for you to check before saving; the photo stays attached to the expense.
Describe an invoice or quote in plain words and get line items drafted into a form
On a new invoice or quote, use Draft with AI, type what you are billing, and review the suggested line items before you save or send — nothing goes out without your step.
Bulk-import products or clients from a photo, WhatsApp screenshot, or pasted list
Photograph a menu, price list, trade licence or business card — or a WhatsApp screenshot — or paste a list. AI extracts products or clients for you to review before anything is saved. Duplicates are flagged, an unverified TRN is highlighted rather than silently accepted, and nothing saves without a price.
Notifications
Get push notifications when a client opens an invoice, one goes overdue, a recurring draft is created, or a VAT filing deadline is near
Enable push notifications on your device. Fatura Go alerts you when a client opens an invoice, when one becomes overdue, when a recurring draft is ready to review, and before a VAT filing deadline so you can act without checking the app constantly.
Review a notification feed in the app with per-type controls
The bell in the app keeps a history of recent notifications. In Settings, turn individual notification types on or off so you only hear about what matters.
Teams and multiple businesses
Invite team members with roles and per-permission access
On Business, invite a teammate and assign a role with only the permissions they need — they never get a full-owner login by default.
Require owner approval before staff can send a document
Turn on approval workflow so staff submit invoices or quotes as drafts; the owner approves before anything is sent to the client.
View an activity log of who changed what
Open the activity log to see who created, edited, or sent documents — useful when several people share one business.
Run several businesses from one login
Add another business under the same account and switch between them. Each business keeps its own invoices, clients, and TRN.
Look and language
Choose from four invoice designs
In document design settings on Pro, pick one of four themes. New PDFs use that layout until you change it.
Set an accent colour on documents
Set your brand accent in design settings; it appears on PDF headers and accents so invoices look like your business.
Add a logo, stamp, signature, and custom footer on documents
Upload logo, stamp, and signature and set a footer in branding settings. They print on invoices, quotes, and credit notes you issue afterward.
Use the app interface in English, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, or Urdu
Change the interface language in settings. Arabic and Urdu use a full right-to-left layout; the switch applies across web and iPhone.
Issue documents in English, Arabic, or bilingual English + Arabic (not Hindi or Urdu)
When creating an invoice, quote, or credit note, choose English, Arabic, or bilingual labels. Hindi and Urdu are interface-only — documents stay English, Arabic, or both.
Account
Sign in with Google or Apple
On the register or sign-in screen, continue with Google or Apple to create or open your account without typing a password. Email sign-up remains available.
Where it runs
Use the full product in a web browser
Sign in at the web app — same Free, Pro, and Business capabilities as on iPhone, with nothing to install.
Use the native iPhone app
Install Fatura Go from the App Store and sign in with the same account. Invoices and clients sync with the web app.
Invoice in AED, USD, or EUR
Set the currency on the client or on the invoice. Line totals and the PDF use that currency; AED remains the usual default for UAE VAT sales.
Common tasks
Short answers to questions people actually ask — each one stands alone.
How do I issue a tax invoice that meets FTA requirements?
Add your business TRN in settings, then create an invoice with the client, line items, and VAT type (usually 5%). Fatura Go includes the FTA-style title, TRNs, VAT breakdown, and totals on the PDF. Send or download when the preview looks right — you are still responsible for confirming the invoice matches your sale.
When do I issue a simplified tax invoice instead of a full one?
Use a simplified tax invoice when the customer is not VAT-registered (no TRN) and the supply is AED 10,000 or below — typical for retail and many B2C sales. Use a full tax invoice when the buyer has a TRN or the total is over AED 10,000. Fatura Go picks the type automatically from those rules; check it before you send.
How do I issue a credit note?
Open the paid or sent invoice you need to reverse or correct and create a credit note against it. The original invoice stays unchanged; the credit note is a separate numbered tax document. Only after you send the credit note does it reduce the VAT report.
How do I send an invoice in Arabic?
When creating the invoice, set the document language to Arabic or bilingual (Arabic + English). Labels on the PDF use Arabic (or both languages); names and descriptions appear as you typed them. Send by email or WhatsApp as usual. The app interface can also be Arabic, which is separate from the document language.
How do I set up a recurring invoice?
On Pro, open the client (or an invoice you want to repeat), set a recurring interval and start date, and save. Fatura Go creates draft invoices on that schedule for you to review and send — nothing goes to the client until you approve a draft.
How do I give my accountant what they need at quarter end?
On Pro, export the accountant Excel pack for the tax period: multi-sheet file with invoices, credit notes, expenses, and a VAT summary. Pair it with the in-app VAT report for the same quarter. Fatura Go does not file the VAT return for you — your accountant (or you) still submits via EmaraTax.
How do I add someone from my team without giving them everything?
On Business, invite them from team settings and assign a role with only the permissions they need (for example create drafts but not send). Optionally turn on approval so only the owner can release documents. They never need the owner login.
How do I let a client see all their invoices in one place?
On Pro, open the client and share their private portal link. The client sees their invoices, quotes, and outstanding balance in one place without you emailing each PDF separately.
How do I track expenses with receipts?
In Expenses, add an expense with amount, date, and category, and attach the receipt photo or file. On Pro you can Scan with AI: photograph the receipt, check the filled fields, then save — the photo stays attached. Expenses show in P&L and in the Pro accountant export.
How do I add my products without typing them all in?
On Pro, use AI bulk import: photograph a menu, price list, trade licence or business card — or a WhatsApp screenshot — or paste a list. Review the extracted products (or clients) before saving. Duplicates are flagged, an unverified TRN is highlighted rather than silently accepted, and nothing saves without a price.
How do I invoice in a currency other than AED?
Set USD or EUR on the client’s preferred currency or on the individual invoice. Line items and the PDF total in that currency. For UAE VAT-registered sales, AED is still the usual choice; use other currencies when the commercial agreement is not in dirhams.
What it doesn't do
These gaps are deliberate. Fatura Go is invoicing software, not a full accounting suite.
- No payroll
- No bank reconciliation or bank feeds
- No inventory management
- No corporate tax filing
- UAE e-invoicing under the 2027 mandate is not available yet
If you need payroll, bank feeds, inventory, or full bookkeeping in one system, use a full accounting suite and keep Fatura Go only if you still want a focused UAE VAT invoice tool alongside it. See Fatura Go vs generic accounting software and the UAE e-invoicing guide.
