Diagnostics
Scan the codes: questions shop owners ask
CTY-T201Can AutoShop POS handle different tax rates in different places?
Yes. Tax rates and tax groups are set per business and can differ per location, product and service.
CTY-T202Is it certified for UAE e-invoicing or FBR integration?
No certification is claimed for the US, UAE or Pakistan. A ZATCA e-invoicing module exists for Saudi Arabia. For your market, set tax rates and invoice layouts with your accountant.
CTY-T203Can prices be VAT-inclusive?
Yes. Selling prices can be set tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive, and the invoice shows the tax amount either way.
CTY-C204Can I run one shop in AED and another in PKR?
Each business has one base currency; locations in other countries can use their own tax and layouts. Ask on your demo about cross-border setups.
CTY-C205Can I accept a customer paying in another currency?
Payments are recorded in your business currency; multi-currency purchasing for suppliers is available.
CTY-F206Can I change date and number formats?
Yes. Date format, time format, currency symbol position and decimal places are business settings.
CTY-M207Do you sell outside the US, UAE and Pakistan?
The software works internationally, but our sales and support focus on these three markets.
CTY-M208Why are Pakistan prices so much lower?
Each market is priced for local buying power, not converted from dollars.
