Set up for you

A numbered receipt for every payment you record.

A cash payment becomes receipt RC-0042

Yusuf records Aisha’s cash at the counter. ALYR Docs takes the next receipt number and draws the receipt in Arabic and English. Aisha wrote to the shop a few minutes before, so the PDF goes to her chat.

Sample screen of a fictional bakery. The names and numbers are made up; they are not ALYR’s results. A cash payment of QAR 64.00 is recorded in the bakery’s workspace. Receipt RC-0042 is made, drawn Arabic first with English beside it, and the PDF arrives in the customer’s WhatsApp chat, below the message she sent minutes earlier, with its caption. The delivery shows Sent.

What happens when a payment comes in.

When your customer has written in the last 24 hours, the receipt arrives in the chat. ALYR Docs takes the next number and issues the document in Arabic and English.

What’s in ALYR Docs

For your customers

  • A receipt for every payment, with its own number.

  • Arabic first, English beside it. Documents for consumers always carry Arabic.

  • The PDF in the chat within WhatsApp’s 24 hours, and a link that opens it.

  • A page for each document: Paid or Balance due, and Download PDF.

  • A credit note when a paid order is cancelled.

  • When part of a visit is paid, a deposit receipt says what is left.

For your team

  • Receipts, invoices, quotations, delivery notes, credit notes and deposit receipts.

  • Made from your sales: a receipt when an order is paid, an invoice when it goes on account, a receipt for each payment on account.

  • Payments you take yourself, by cash, transfer, cheque or card terminal, each with its receipt.

  • Each branch with its own numbers, address and phone.

  • Cash rounding to 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 dirhams, as a line of its own.

  • A4, A5 or an 80 mm roll.

  • Your shop’s name, logo and colours, and “Issued with ALYR” at the foot unless you remove it.

  • Staff may record payments only if the owner allows it.

  • Your own system can send its sales by file or by API, and you choose, for each kind of document, whose numbers it carries.

Behind the scenes

  • Numbering has no gaps. If issuing fails, the number goes back.

  • An issued document cannot be edited. The database refuses the change.

  • A correction is a credit note. ALYR never deletes an issued document.

  • Each document is issued once, even if a payment is reported twice.

  • A document that cannot be made never stops the sale.

  • A customer who asked you to stop gets no document message.

Shops without a commercial registration

Until your CR number is in your document settings, ALYR Docs issues receipts, never invoices, and each receipt says so in plain words. Add your CR number, and you can issue invoices too.

The foot of a receipt with no CR on fileSample

The foot of a receipt from a shop with no CR number on file, with its note in Arabic and English: the seller has no commercial registration number on file; this document is a receipt and is not a tax invoice; ALYR does not give tax advice.

Questions

Can I use it on its own?

ALYR Docs works from the sales and payments in your ALYR workspace. If your sales are in another system, that system can send them to ALYR by file or by API.

How long does setup take?

We agree the date you start at the visit, and set your numbers, branches and documents with you.

I don’t have a CR yet.

Then you issue receipts, and each says the seller has no CR number on file. Once your CR number is in your settings, you can issue invoices too.

Can I change a receipt after it is issued?

Nobody can: the database refuses any change. To correct it, issue a credit note. It cancels the document, both keep their numbers, and nothing is deleted.

Is it in Arabic?

Arabic first by default, with English beside it. Documents for consumers always carry Arabic. A document for a business can be English only.

How do my customers get it?

In the chat as a PDF, with a link that opens it, when they have written to you in the last 24 hours. After 24 hours, a document needs wording WhatsApp has approved, so it is not sent on WhatsApp.

I already have a till or accounting system.

It can send its sales to ALYR by file or by API, and you choose, for each kind of paper, whose numbers it carries. We try it with your system with you first.
