ZATCA Phase 2 · Offline selling · Built for Saudi retail
Thetillthatkeepssellingwhentheinternetstops
Wameed is a complete point of sale for Saudi retail and restaurants: it sells, signs the ZATCA invoice and prints it while offline, then syncs everything the moment the network returns. From the till to the kitchen to the books.

Why we build this
WhatactuallybreaksatillinSaudiArabia
It is not the missing features. It is the moment a queue stops because something outside the shop went down.
Without Wameed
The line drops, the till stops — or prints a non-compliant slip you fix up later
A tablet per delivery platform stacked on the counter, and an order lost every day
A cash variance found a week later, when nobody remembers anything
A half-translated Arabic interface, where the cashier memorises button positions instead of reading them
Invoice data re-keyed by hand into the accounting system at month end
The kitchen goes blind in an outage, and orders get shouted across the pass
With Wameed
Selling continues: ZATCA signed on the device, a complete legal receipt, synced on return
Ten delivery platforms in one order queue, with no extra device
Every drawer open and close recorded, expected against actual, attributed to the cashier
Complete right-to-left Arabic, plus Urdu, Bengali and Pashto for the floor staff
A ledger auto-posted from yesterday’s sales, and export to Qoyod, QuickBooks and Xero
Kitchen tickets print from the device itself, and are stored locally before anything else
The foundation
Fourthingswewillnotcompromise
Everything else on this site is built on these four.
An outage is not an excuse
Selling, signing, printing, opening the drawer and kitchen tickets all work with no network. The outbound queue is the truth until the server acknowledges it, so a sale is never lost. Even the web cashier works offline.
Compliance is not an add-on
ZATCA Phase 2 is in the core: UBL 2.1, XAdES-BES signing on the device, the nine-tag QR, an unbroken hash chain, clearance and reporting. Not a module you buy later.
Arabic is the first language
Genuine right-to-left layout, a bilingual receipt, numbers, dates and currency formatted correctly — plus Urdu, Bengali and Pashto for the staff who actually stand at the till.
Your money goes to you
Your customers’ payments settle into your own merchant account through EdfaPay. Wameed never takes custody of your funds and is not a payment institution — its income is the revenue share alone.
The real difference
Cuttheline.Keepselling.
Most systems say they work offline and mean they save the sale to send later. Here is what actually happens in Wameed when the line drops.
1
The network drops
The status bar appears. Nothing else on the screen changes.
2
The cashier keeps scanning
The catalogue, prices and promotions are all on the device. Even the discounts run through the same engine.
3
The invoice is signed locally
The private key is in the OS secure store. A simplified invoice is signed inside the legal 24-hour tolerance.
4
The receipt prints in full
With the nine-tag QR. It is a legal invoice, not a placeholder slip.
5
The network returns and the queue drains
Transactions first, then stock, then the catalogue. Each row is acknowledged before it is cleared.
Connected — syncedSelling continues either wayTill running
How it starts
Fromsigninguptoyourfirstinvoice
Four steps. The longest one is not ours — it is registering your device with ZATCA.
1
Pick your trade
Grocery, restaurant, pharmacy, jewellery, bakery, florist, phone shop… the till arrives with your trade’s categories, tax rates, receipt templates and workflows already set.
2
Load your products
Import from Excel or CSV, or start from a ready catalogue for your trade and edit it. A missing barcode is generated for you, and its labels print from the same screen.
3
Register with ZATCA
We produce the certificate request, handle the provisioning and put the key in the operating system’s secure store. After that, every invoice is signed on the device itself — connected or not.
4
Start selling
The first sale produces a signed invoice with its QR code. With no network, it comes out exactly the same — and is reported when the network returns.
Including the rows we do not win. A comparison that always wins is not a comparison.
Wameed’s own verdicts come from a review of the codebase. The competitor marks are best-effort from their published documentation as of August 2026, and may have changed since.

Before you ask
Thequestionsthatreachusfirst
And if yours is not here, our team answers it directly.
Wameed is a complete point-of-sale system for Saudi retail and restaurants. It handles selling, inventory, purchasing, staff, customers, reporting and ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing — and it keeps working for 24 hours when the internet is down, signing compliant invoices on the device.
From the blog
ZATCA updates, what the shops teach us, and how we build what we build.
What Phase 2 actually requires of your till, in plain language: the XML, the cryptographic stamp, the hash chain, clearance versus reporting, and the eight things to check before your wave arrives.
Local-first, not cloud-with-a-cache. Here is what that actually means, what happens to the ZATCA signature, how two disconnected terminals are reconciled, and the one part that still needs the network.
Not a feature list — a method. Write down your five hardest transactions, price three years, test the outage, and check whether you can leave. Everything else is detail.
