You can easily add the ZATCA (Fatoora) QR code to your invoice template in Order Printer Pro. Once done, your invoices will include the QR code for each order automatically:

1 - Add javascript code to your template, which can generate ZATCA QR codes:

a) Login to Order Printer Pro and go to the "Manage templates" page

b) Click "Edit template" on your invoice/receipt template

c) In the Code section of the editor, copy and paste the following to the top of your template code:

<script type="module">
//
// ZATCA QR Code Generator for SA
//
import { Invoice } from "https://esm.sh/@axenda/zatca";

const qrCodeElements = document.querySelectorAll(".zatca-qr-code:not(.loaded)");

if (qrCodeElements.length) {
qrCodeElements.forEach(async function(element) {
const dataSet = element.dataset;
console.log(dataSet)
var invoice = new Invoice({
sellerName: dataSet["sellerName"],
vatRegistrationNumber: dataSet["vatNumber"],
invoiceTimestamp: dataSet["invoiceTimestamp"],
invoiceTotal: dataSet["invoiceTotal"],
invoiceVatTotal: dataSet["invoiceVatTotal"],
});
const imageData = await invoice.render();
element.src = imageData;
element.classList.add("loaded");
});
}
</script>

2- Add image placeholder to your template:

To display the QR code image in the document, we need a placeholder where the image should be inserted, including information about the data that should be embedded into the QR code.

a) Copy the below code:

<img class="zatca-qr-code" data-seller-name="Your store name" data-vat-number="1234567891" data-invoice-timestamp="{{ created_at | date: "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ" }}" data-invoice-total="{{ total_price | money_without_currency }}" data-invoice-vat-total="{{ total_tax | money_without_currency }}">

b) Paste the code into your template, where you want the QR code to appear. In the default Invoice/receipt template that comes with Order Printer Pro, we suggest adding it into the notes section.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

c) IMPORTANT: Make sure to update the text "Your store name" and "1234567891" in the above code with the correct details for your store.

d) Click "Save" and you are done!
