Getting Started

This guide introduces developers to the Axis.SmartInvoiceAPI and explains how to configure devices for fiscalisation in Zambia.

Before you can interact with fiscal endpoints (such as invoicing, credit/debit notes, or reporting), your fiscal device must first be initialised with the correct taxpayer and branch details.

At present, the API has been tested and verified in Windows-based environments only.
All sample implementations and code snippets provided in this documentation are written in C#.
