What Is Fiscalisation and Electronic Receipting?
Across Africa, revenue authorities are requiring businesses to issue electronic, tax-verified receipts. This is called fiscalisation. WEAF POS builds it in, so compliance is part of everyday selling rather than an extra chore.
Why fiscalisation exists
Governments introduced electronic receipting to reduce tax evasion and make VAT collection transparent. Each sale is reported to the revenue authority, which returns a verified receipt for the customer.
What it means for your shop
With WEAF POS, a compliant receipt is produced as you sell. You meet your obligations without slowing down the till or keeping separate manual records.

Does fiscalisation slow down selling?
With WEAF POS it happens in the background, so cashiers keep selling at normal speed.
