Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Vietnam, Taiwan, Kenya and Malaysia: each sale reported through your provider

In these countries each sale to a consumer is reported to the tax office as an electronic note or invoice, often at once. BlinkFix does it through the provider the connection screen names for your country: you open your account at that provider (it holds the digital certificate or the numbering the tax office needs), give BlinkFix what the screen asks for, and BlinkFix reports each sale through it. Every field of the form says what it is and where to find it.

First of all

  • You are the seller, so the fiscal receipt is yours to issue. The receipt BlinkFix gives your customer confirms the payment BlinkFix took in your name; it is not a fiscal receipt.
  • Only the owner can set up, change or remove the fiscal connection.
  • BlinkFix switches fiscal connections on country by country. Until the app shows your connection as Connected, issue every fiscal receipt yourself, on your own till or system.

What you do

  1. Ask your accountant what your country asks of you, and open an account at the provider the connection screen names for your country.
  2. Where the app offers a connection for your country, open Work › More › Place settings › VAT and receipts › Fiscal connection, choose “Cloud provider” and give what the form asks for. Press “Connect”: BlinkFix checks it at the provider, keeps what is secret encrypted and connects your place.
  3. The tax number you type must be the one saved on the place in VAT and receipts. If it is not, the form says so and nothing is saved.
  4. While the app shows your country in test mode, press “Test receipt” to see a sale go through the provider’s test environment. It is not a real fiscal document.
  5. Check that the status says Connected. Until it does, issue every receipt yourself.
  6. In Mexico, give the seal certificate (CSD) once if your provider does not hold it yet: BlinkFix hands it over and does not keep it.

The guide “Per-sale reporting” has the steps and the questions owners ask. A rule that BlinkFix’s research could not settle carries the mark “Not yet confirmed” in the box of its country.

Once your connection works

  • BlinkFix sends each sale your country’s rule records when you collect the money: when a card payment through BlinkFix succeeds, or when a payment in cash or on your own card terminal is recorded as received (for example when your staff mark the order as paid). A way of paying your country does not record is not sent: your country’s box says which.
  • Tips are never on your fiscal receipt. BlinkFix’s service fee is on BlinkFix’s own invoice to the customer, not on your register.
  • When an order is cancelled after payment, or you refund it, BlinkFix sends the correction document your country asks for. A refund that BlinkFix pays from its own money does not touch your register.
  • Sales from before you connected, or before your country’s rule starts, are not sent: issue those receipts yourself.
  • If a receipt fails, BlinkFix tries again and tells you. If it still fails, issue the receipt another way within the time your law allows.
  • Each order’s fiscal receipt is in the Fiscal receipts tab of VAT and receipts, with Re-run for one that failed.
  • While the app shows your country in test mode, BlinkFix marks every fiscal number as a test and shows none to your customers. Whether your fiscal printer, register software or provider counted a receipt as a real fiscal one depends on its own setup: check with your provider, so that each sale is fiscalised once, neither missed nor twice.
