Autoflow: Automated E-Invoicing API for UAE Businesses

If your business processes hundreds or thousands of transactions per month — EV charging sessions, parking tickets, subscription renewals, SaaS billing, ride fares — you need invoices generated automatically, in real time, compliant with UAE tax rules, and posted to your books without manual intervention. That is what Autoflow does.

One API call per transaction. Autoflow handles everything else: invoice number allocation, VAT calculation at 5%, PDF generation, email delivery, PINT AE/Peppol transmission for B2B, and automatic posting to your Maya Finance ledger as a revenue invoice with correct journal entries.

How It Works

Who Uses Autoflow

• EV charging operators — invoice per charging session, mixed B2B fleet customers and B2C consumers
• Parking operators — high-volume micro-transactions, VAT-compliant invoicing
• SaaS platforms — billing end-customers on behalf of merchants, multi-tenant invoicing
• E-commerce fulfillment — automated invoicing for each order shipment
• Subscription billing — recurring charges with automatic invoice generation
• Ride-hailing & mobility — per-ride invoicing with TRN-based B2B detection

PINT AE Ready — Ahead of the UAE E-Invoicing Mandate

The UAE is joining the Peppol network. Mandatory e-invoicing for B2B transactions is expected to phase in starting mid-2026. Autoflow generates invoices in the PINT AE format (Peppol International for UAE) from day one, so when the mandate takes effect, your invoices are already compliant.

For B2B customers with a Peppol participant ID, Autoflow transmits the structured UBL XML directly via the Peppol network. For B2C customers (no TRN) or B2B customers not yet on Peppol, invoices are delivered as PDF by email. The invoice type is determined automatically based on whether a Tax Registration Number is present in the transaction payload.

Pricing

Simple, volume-based pricing with no hidden fees.

Per-Invoice Fee

Annual Integration & Certificate Plans

All prices exclude 5% UAE VAT. Annual plans include Peppol integration, certificate maintenance, and API access. The per-invoice fee (AED 0.90) applies on top of the annual plan.

API Quick-Start

Integration takes under an hour. Here is the core flow:

curl -X POST https://finance.maya-ai.ae/api/autoflow/v1/transactions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer af_live_sk_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "idempotency_key": "ev-session-12345",
    "transaction": {
      "external_id": "SESSION-12345",
      "occurred_at": "2026-03-28T14:30:00Z",
      "description": "EV Charging — 45.2 kWh"
    },
    "lines": [{
      "description": "45.2 kWh @ AED 0.35",
      "quantity": 45.2,
      "unit": "kWh",
      "unit_price": 35,
      "vat_rate": 0.05
    }],
    "customer": {
      "email": "driver@example.com",
      "name": "Ahmed Al Maktoum",
      "trn": "100123456789012"
    }
  }'

Response (within 200ms): invoice_id, invoice_number, status, total_incl_vat, invoice_type. The invoice is generated, posted to your ledger, and delivered to the customer asynchronously.

What the Ledger Integration Means

Every Autoflow invoice creates a real entry in your Maya Finance books:

• A Revenue Invoice with correct line items, VAT breakdown, and customer link
• A Journal Entry debiting Receivables and crediting Revenue + VAT Payable
• Automatic inclusion in your quarterly VAT return (FTA Box 1–9)
• Payment matching when bank feeds pick up incoming payments with matching references

This means your books are always current. No end-of-month import. No reconciliation gap. No manual data entry for thousands of micro-transactions.
