What is the FBR Digital Invoicing API?
The FBR Digital Invoicing API is the secure electronic interface your software uses to send invoices to FBR and receive back a validated invoice number and QR code. It is how your business talks to FBR's system, invoice by invoice, in real time.
Key points
- It accepts structured invoice data in the format FBR requires and responds with a unique invoice number or an error.
- It is used in a sandbox version first for testing, then a production version for live reporting.
- Access is controlled by credentials or tokens tied to your registration.
- Your invoicing software, ERP or a service like Iris Connect connects to this API on your behalf.

In short
You do not need to build against the API yourself. Iris Connect maps your invoice to the API and manages the whole exchange for you.
