@lubos please when will you be able to integrate the mandatory etims compliant invoices as required when invoicing busineness in kenya. As of now an invoice must be linked to government software known as etims, and all invoices must have an etims qr code unique number. This means manager needs an API or if you can integrate you can get many users in Kenya as this is a requirement. Secondly i realized manager have liquid theme invoice which it cant accept fully customization. can we have a free to generate a customizable and fully html, java script invoices, receipts, and delivery notes
Dear @John_Muchwat I will start by saying i am not one of the developers, sales or spokes person for the software manager.io however, here is just my opinion based on what I am thinking about in regards to your lovely question.
Integrating country-specific tax systems like Kenya’s eTIMS directly into core accounting software presents immense complexity. Each country has unique, constantly evolving regulations, APIs, and certification processes. If Manager.io were to build this for Kenya, it would logically need to do the same for every other country worldwide, which is simply not scalable or sustainable for a general accounting platform. This kind of deep, localized integration is typically handled by specialized local software solutions or through custom development leveraging Manager.io’s API.
My Advice, is for you to find an experienced developer, in Kenya or elsewhere who can help you do the latter.

NG Software have tried hard to support country specific requirements.
The bottom line is though, local jurisdiction requirements necessitates individuals in each local jurisdiction to contribute to Managers code base in one form or another. Doing so requires greater accounting and programming skills that using Manager.

Thanks well understood the hardship it may pose to the developers
@John_Muchwat e-invoicing in Manager is currently supported in a few countries only. We are still figuring out details how to do it at scale - that is making it work in all countries where required.
https://fiscalharmony.co.zw has already implemented e-invoicing for Manager.io users in Zimbabwe. I was told Zambia is coming soon and Kenya is on their roadmap.
