Who issues the e-Invoice to your customers?

Quick answer

Shoppertise issues the e-Invoice to the Buyer on your behalf, but only when the Buyer requests one through the platform. If your brand uses its own third-party POS for e-Invoicing instead, Shoppertise does not issue it: Buyers are directed to your Finance team by email. Either way, the sale is between you and the Buyer.

Standard process

Shoppertise will facilitate the issuance of the e-Invoice to the Buyer on your behalf. However, this process is only triggered if and when a Buyer explicitly submits a request through the platform.

In practice, the Buyer opens the request form from the Request e-Invoice button in their receipt email or under My Orders on your ordering site, fills in their tax details and submits.

Shoppertise then submits the e-Invoice to the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM/LHDN) through MyInvois using your business details, and emails the validated e-Invoice to the Buyer.

See Where can the Buyer request the e-Invoice? and What information must a Buyer provide to receive an e-Invoice?

Note

Shoppertise can only submit on your behalf once you have added Shoppertise as your Intermediary in the MyInvois portal and sent us your entity details. See How do I integrate my business with the MyInvois (IRBM) portal?

Buyers who do not request an individual e-Invoice are not left out of your reporting: their transactions are covered by the monthly consolidated e-Invoice. See Does Shoppertise issue consolidated e-Invoices?

Merchant-Managed E-Invoicing (Exceptions)

Some Merchants opt to use their own third-party POS providers for e-Invoicing instead of the Shoppertise integrated service.

  • Shoppertise's Role: In these cases, Shoppertise does not issue the invoice.

  • Customer Enquiries: All e-Invoicing enquiries for these specific brands are redirected to the Merchant’s internal Finance team via email.

For these outlets, a Buyer who opens the e-Invoice request page for a completed order sees a message asking them to contact your brand's Finance Department directly, with your finance email address and a Contact Finance button.

The email it opens is pre-filled with the order number and asks for their Full Name, TIN/IC and SST number (if applicable).

Your team then issues the e-Invoice from your own system. See How are requests handled if my business uses a third-party POS for e-Invoicing?

Customer service tip

If your outlets use the merchant-managed route, make sure the finance email you gave Shoppertise is monitored. Requests close on the 3rd day of the month after the order, so a slow reply can leave a Buyer without their e-Invoice.

Important note on liability

Important Note on Liability: The issuance of an e-Invoice is strictly for tax compliance (Income Tax Act 1967). The commercial contract remains directly between you (the Merchant) and the Buyer. Shoppertise acts as a facilitator and is not a party to the sale.

Caution

For your own obligations under the Income Tax Act 1967 and the IRBM e-Invoice rules, check with your accountant or tax adviser.
