What the software handles per country
- Multi-currency
- Each business location has its own currency; Multi-Shop owners can run a Dubai shop in AED and a Houston shop in USD under one login.
- Tax rates and tax groups
- Set rates per location and group them (e.g. city + state). Choose VAT-inclusive display (UAE) or tax added at checkout (US, Pakistan).
- Receipt and invoice layouts
- Your name, address, tax number and footer text on every receipt, in the shop’s language — including right-to-left Arabic and Urdu.
- Date and number formats
- Day/month order, thousands separators and currency symbol follow the business settings.
- Custom payment methods
- Record JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer or gift cards as named payment methods so day-end reports add up.
- Saudi Arabia note
- For shops expanding to Saudi Arabia, a ZATCA e-invoicing add-on module exists; ask on a demo. We make no other fiscal certification claims.

Yes, on Multi-Shop. Each location has its own currency, tax and receipt settings, and reports can be filtered per shop.

Q05Do you process payments in these countries?
No. Card payments go through your local processor; we record them. Cash and wallet payments are recorded as payment methods.

Because a fair price in Lahore isn’t the dollar price converted. Each market has its own price set in pricing that local shops can pay.
Q07Will you add more countries?
Not until we can support them properly with local pricing and payments. Tell us where you are and we will note it.
Q08Where does the tax information come from?
From the tax authorities linked on this page, as general information. Confirm your own obligations with your accountant.
