Connecting your POS to JoFotara: step by step
Once your business is registered with JoFotara, the step that actually saves you daily time is a direct connection from the POS — so no one ever enters an invoice by hand.
Why a direct integration beats manual entry
Entering every invoice manually on a separate portal means daily lost time, a chance of human error in the numbers, and forgetting it at rush hour. A direct integration makes submission part of completing the sale itself — no extra step for anyone to remember.
What you need for the integration
The account identifiers you received after registering (see the registration guide's previous section), and a POS that already supports JoFotara with no need for a developer or a middleman tool. You enter the identifiers once in the system's settings, and the rest runs automatically.
How the integration actually works in RAWA
From the JoFotara settings in the dashboard, you enter your account identifiers once. From that moment, every sale approved at the POS attempts to submit its invoice automatically within seconds, from the same cashier screen — no extra window, no manual step. If the connection fails temporarily, the attempt is saved and retried later instead of the invoice being lost or sent twice.
How to confirm it's working, and what to do if an invoice is rejected
Issue one test invoice and follow its status from the same invoice screen: accepted, processing, or rejected. Rejection is usually due to details that don't match what's officially registered (business name or tax number) — fix the details in settings and resubmit; the invoice number and its record stay saved.

Do I need a developer to connect JoFotara to my POS?
No, if the system already supports JoFotara — you enter the identifiers in settings and the rest is automatic, as in RAWA.
What if the internet drops the moment a sale is approved?
The sale is saved and printed locally as usual, and the invoice submission is retried automatically once the connection returns — no duplication, no loss.
Can old invoices be submitted manually after connecting?
The integration's purpose is to submit every new invoice automatically at approval; for historical invoices, check the Income and Sales Tax Department's official procedure.
