This guide covers the source's eligibility checklist, two installation routes, verification-code process, activation, postponement, account-registration overview, plan availability, and app removal.
To activate the ZATCA e-invoicing integration, install Salla's Zakat and Tax app, review its permissions, and confirm your store and default-branch data. Generate a one-time activation code from ZATCA's FATOORA portal, return to Salla, enter the code within its stated validity period, and complete activation.

Salla's Zakat and Tax app connects your store's tax invoices to ZATCA so they can be submitted electronically through an automated process.

- Be registered with ZATCA and have an account on its website.
- Have a valid commercial registration. [Verify: the source says it must be โapproved by the Authority,โ but does not explain this requirement.]
- Have a store verified through Salla.
- Complete the default main branch address, including street name, district, building number, additional number, postal code, city, and country.
