Zoho Books UAE E-Invoicing — PINT-AE & FTA-Ready

TrustBill connects to Zoho Books through the Zoho OAuth API, pulling invoice data automatically without manual export. Zoho Books is an FTA-certified Digital Tax Integrator and supports the PINT-AE format, but it does not natively transmit Peppol/PINT-AE e-invoices through the 5-corner exchange. TrustBill acts as your FTA-accredited ASP and Peppol/PINT-AE gateway: we transform the Zoho Books invoice data, validate it against the FTA's 51 mandatory data elements, and submit it to the UAE e-invoicing network. You keep using Zoho Books exactly as you do today for accounting, billing, and reporting — we add the compliance layer on top.

Setting up the Zoho Books integration takes a few minutes:

1. **Create your TrustBill account** — Sign up for free (no credit card required). 2. **Add Zoho Books as a source** — In TrustBill, choose Zoho Books from the ERP integrations list. 3. **Authorize with Zoho OAuth** — Click Connect and grant TrustBill read-only invoice access to your Zoho Books organization. 4. **Map tax and invoice settings** — Match your Zoho tax codes, TRN, and invoice defaults to PINT-AE requirements. 5. **Send a test invoice** — Create a test invoice in Zoho Books and verify it appears in TrustBill with PINT-AE validation.

After setup, new invoices sync automatically. TrustBill never stores your Zoho credentials, and you can revoke access from your Zoho Books settings at any time.

TrustBill converts Zoho Books invoices to the UAE's PINT-AE XML standard, ensuring all mandatory fields are present and correct. The conversion covers the invoice UUID, issue date, seller and buyer TRNs, line-item details, VAT rates, and UAE-specific fields such as free zone flags, margin scheme indicators, and supply type.

Zoho Books supports the PINT-AE data format, but an FTA-accredited ASP is still required for the live Peppol 5-corner transmission. TrustBill fills that gap: every invoice is validated before submission, and any errors are reported in the TrustBill dashboard with clear explanations so you can fix them in Zoho Books and re-submit.

TrustBill's Zoho Books integration is built for the 2026-2027 FTA mandate — 1 Jan 2027 for large businesses and 1 Jul 2027 for SMEs. It includes:

- **OAuth connection** — One-click, read-only authorisation with Zoho Books. - **Automatic sync** — New and updated invoices sync from Zoho Books without manual export. - **PINT-AE conversion** — Native Zoho data is mapped to UAE-standard PINT-AE XML. - **Pre-submission validation** — Checks against FTA mandatory fields and business rules before sending. - **Status tracking** — See pending, submitted, accepted, and rejected statuses for every invoice. - **Rejection handling** — Fix errors in Zoho Books and let TrustBill re-submit automatically. - **VAT 201 support** — Submitted invoices help populate your VAT 201 return draft. - **Multi-entity ready** — Connect several Zoho Books organisations to a single TrustBill account. - **Data residency** — Invoice data stays in the UAE (AWS me-central-1).

TrustBill requests only the minimum read-only access needed to read invoices and credit notes from Zoho Books. We do not ask for permission to create, modify, delete, or process payments in your Zoho account. All communication between Zoho Books and TrustBill uses TLS 1.3 in transit, and invoice data is encrypted at rest. TrustBill never stores your Zoho login or password.
