Zoho POS in the UAE costs from AED 39 per store per month on the Standard plan, billed annually, plus 5% VAT, with a free plan for one register. New UAE accounts are hosted in Zoho's UAE data centre, with data residency in the UAE.

The real problem
What does a UAE store need from its point of sale?
Zoho POS covers counter billing, offline mode, stock across outlets and reports; the full picture is on the [Zoho POS page](/zoho-pos/). For a UAE store the local questions come first: 5% VAT on standard-rated goods with zero-rated and exempt items handled correctly, your TRN on every receipt, AED pricing across branches in malls and high streets, and a clean daily handover of sales and VAT to the accountant. The UAE edition of Zoho POS offers 5% standard, zero-rated and exempt treatments, applied at billing, and the billing app runs in Arabic as well as English.

In practice
Where is the data held, and does UAE e-invoicing apply to retail?
Zoho opened its UAE data centre in January 2026, with data residency in the UAE, and places each account in the data centre of the country chosen at sign-up, so a new UAE Zoho POS account is hosted in the UAE. Older accounts in another region can ask Zoho to migrate. Zoho lists ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS certifications for its UAE data centres. Customer phone numbers and loyalty data are personal data, so we limit who can see them, to the requirements your compliance team sets.
Sales to consumers are outside the UAE e-invoicing mandate for now, so shop receipts stay as VAT tax invoices. Sales to businesses, such as trade customers or corporate orders, fall under it: those invoices go through Zoho Books, which Zoho, a Ministry of Finance accredited provider, sends as PINT-AE e-invoices. Large businesses (AED 50 million+) go live on 1 January 2027, others on 1 July 2027. See UAE e-invoicing.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does Zoho POS cost in the UAE?
Zoho POS costs AED 39 per store per month for Standard, AED 79 for Professional and AED 129 for Premium on annual billing, as of October 2026. Monthly billing costs AED 49, AED 99 and AED 159. A free plan covers one register. Add 5% VAT. These are Zoho's own UAE prices; extra registers and users are add-ons.
Does Zoho POS handle UAE VAT?
Yes. The UAE edition offers 5% standard, zero-rated and exempt treatments, which you assign to items, customers or locations, and applies them at billing. Your TRN goes in the tax settings and on receipts. We set the VAT treatment of your range with your accountant and check the first receipts with you.
Do shop receipts need to be e-invoices in the UAE?
Not for now. Sales to consumers are outside the UAE e-invoicing mandate until the Ministry of Finance says otherwise, so receipts stay as VAT tax invoices. Your sales to businesses do fall under it; those invoices go through Zoho Books as PINT-AE e-invoices, with Zoho as your accredited provider.
Is Zoho POS hosted in the UAE?
New UAE accounts are. Zoho's UAE data centre opened in January 2026, and Zoho assigns each account to the data centre of the country chosen at sign-up. An existing account in another region can ask Zoho to migrate it, and we plan the move.
Do you set up stores outside Dubai?
Yes. We set up stores in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Configuration, item import and training are delivered remotely.
