DIFBR is an end-user business compliance software platform (POS, ERP connectors, and Excel batch tools). We do NOT provide or sell third-party developer APIs. The official digital invoicing API is provided by the Government of Pakistan via FBR PRAL. DIFBR bridges your existing software or spreadsheets directly into FBR so you never need to build or buy custom APIs.

Go Live in 24 Hours
Custom API development takes 3 to 6 months of technical development and FBR sandbox hurdles. DIFBR is pre-certified and operational on day one.
Save PKR 500,000+

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers on how FBR integration works and why DIFBR handles it without developer APIs.
Does DIFBR provide or sell APIs?
No. DIFBR does NOT provide or sell APIs. DIFBR is a ready-to-use business software application, Point of Sale (POS) system, and ERP integration platform. The official digital invoicing API is provided directly by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR PRAL). DIFBR handles the complete communication with FBR behind the scenes so your business never needs to write or maintain custom API code.
Who provides the official digital invoicing API in Pakistan?
The official digital invoicing API in Pakistan is provided exclusively by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) through Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL). Businesses that build their own custom integration must apply directly to PRAL for sandbox testing, cryptographic keys, and production certification.
Why choose DIFBR software instead of developing custom APIs in-house?
Developing custom in-house software to connect to FBR APIs typically takes 3 to 6 months and costs hundreds of thousands of rupees in developer salaries, server setup, and compliance maintenance. DIFBR is pre-built, tested, and certified—enabling your business to go live with official FBR IRN receipts in under 24 hours with zero programming required.
How does DIFBR connect my business software to FBR?
DIFBR provides pre-built, turnkey connectors for SAP, Odoo, QuickBooks, and Excel spreadsheets, as well as native Point of Sale (POS) software for desktop and retail counters. Your staff issues invoices normally, and DIFBR translates the data into FBR PRAL compliant formats automatically.
How does FBR return the IRN and QR code?
When DIFBR transmits an invoice to FBR PRAL, FBR validates the payload and returns an official Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and QR code data. DIFBR automatically stamps this onto your printed thermal slips and digital PDF invoices in real time.
How are network timeouts and FBR downtime handled?
DIFBR includes fail-safe offline caching. If internet connectivity drops or FBR servers experience downtime during a busy shopping rush, invoices continue printing locally with cryptographic hashes and synchronize automatically with FBR in real time as soon as connection is restored.
Can we use Excel or spreadsheets without any software development?
Yes. DIFBR provides standard, pre-formatted Excel and CSV templates. You simply upload your daily sales or wholesale dispatch list, and DIFBR submits every invoice to FBR automatically with zero technical code required.
Is DIFBR an FBR licensed integrator?
DIFBR is a digital invoicing and business compliance software platform developed by Cloud ERP 360 (Private) Limited. DIFBR manages your invoicing workflows, validates statutory schemas, and connects your business to official FBR integration channels. DIFBR does not misrepresent itself as an FBR licensed intermediary.
