Integration Partners
In Italy, all point-of-sale (POS) systems connect the certified Registratori Telematici (RT) devices, which securely store transaction data and transmit it to the Agenzia delle Entrate. These fiscal devices must:
- Generate Documento Commerciale (electronic receipts) that comply with legal requirements.
- Automatically send daily transaction reports to the Italian tax authorities.
- Maintain a secure fiscal memory to ensure transaction integrity and prevent tax evasion.
Integration with the fiskaltrust Middleware API
POS developers can integrate fiskaltrust by implementing a single API that handles all interactions with RT devices. This eliminates the need to build custom fiscalization logic for each certified device.
Supports both local (RT Printer), remote (RT Server) and Web Procedure configurations.
Works with multiple fiscal hardware vendors, reducing the need for hardware-specific implementations.
Ensures data consistency between POS-generated transactions and fiscal reports.
Automated Data Processing and Compliance
Once integrated, the middleware:
Receives transactions from the POS system, validates them, and forwards them to the RT device.
Handles fiscal receipt generation, ensuring all required information (e.g., VAT, payment method, fiscal codes) is included.
Transmits sales transactions to the tax authorities (Web Procedure).
Future-Proof Compliance and Updates
fiskaltrust monitors changes in Italian tax regulations and updates the middleware accordingly, ensuring ongoing compliance without requiring POS software modifications.
Supports additional compliance requirement as soon as there is a regulatory change.
Key Benefits for Developers
- Standardized API reduces development complexity.
- Avoids vendor lock-in by supporting multiple RT devices.
- Ensures regulatory compliance without modifying core POS logic.
- Future-proof updates to adapt to new fiscal laws automatically.
