VCR
Registers the sale with SRC and issues the buyer a fiscal receipt.

- eMark and B2B formats often sold as paid add-ons
- Team roles minimal, audit log not always available
- Server, updates, and monitoring — on you
- SRC documentation only in Armenian, incomplete, with typos in the specs
- JKS / CSR / CRT certificates — generate and renew by hand
- Retries, flakiness, and cold-start of the live gateway — you write them yourself
- Admin and cashier interface — design and build from scratch
- eMark, UBL, B2B formats — a separate project for each
- Every law or API change — you rewrite it again
Enterprise
Running mission-critical volume?
It's the same service that already fiscalises for high-throughput merchants. When a receipt is the line between a completed and a blocked sale, the Enterprise tier adds the guarantees your procurement team will ask for.
Guaranteed SLA
A signed uptime commitment with defined incident response and escalation paths — contractual, not best-effort, and backed by a public status page.
Priority processing
Your fiscal traffic gets prioritized capacity to the SRC, so peak-hour spikes never wait in line.
Dedicated support
A named contact with agreed response times, plus hands-on onboarding and integration review — not a shared inbox.
Security & EU data residency
EU data storage, a signed DPA, a published sub-processor list, and direct help with your security questionnaire.
Custom SLA, volume terms, and a signed contract. We reply within one business day.
Trust centerFrequently asked questions
What are the penalties for fiscal registration violations?
Armenia's tax code sets penalties for failing to issue a fiscal receipt, using an unregistered cash register, and other rule violations. As of 2025, these amounts have been significantly increased. VCR automatically registers every sale with the tax authority, eliminating the risk of a fine from human error.
How do I register a cash register with the tax authority?
Cash register registration is done through the file-online.taxservice.am portal using form U6. VCR handles the entire process — we obtain a virtual cash register serial number for your business and activate it with the tax authority. It takes about 15 minutes end to end.
Do I need to buy a physical cash register?
It depends on your sales channel. If you accept orders online (website, mobile app, e-commerce platform), VCR is enough on its own — Tax Code Article 380.1 explicitly covers this case, and you save 50,000–300,000 AMD on hardware plus monthly service fees and thermal paper. If customers walk in to a shop, café, or service point and pay there, the law (Article 380(1)) still requires a hardware cash register. Hybrid businesses run both side by side.
Does VCR process payments?
No. VCR registers sales and refunds with the tax authority. It does not accept money, connect card acquiring, or transfer funds. You need a separate payment service or bank for payment acceptance.
Is VCR really free?
Yes. There are no monthly fees, setup costs, or hidden charges. VCR is free for all Armenian businesses.
Why is VCR free?
The core product is free and stays that way because high-volume merchants pay for the Enterprise tier — a guaranteed SLA, priority processing, and dedicated support. Those contracts fund the shared infrastructure everyone runs on, which is what makes free sustainable rather than a favor we might one day be unable to keep. Fiscal registration is basic infrastructure; it shouldn't be the line item that breaks a business just getting started — so for everyday online sales it stays free for everyone.
Do I need special hardware?
VCR runs in any web browser — smartphone, tablet, or laptop — and replaces fiscal hardware for online order channels covered by Tax Code Article 380.1 (website / mobile app / e-commerce platform). For walk-in retail (shops, cafés, in-person services), Article 380(1) still requires a hardware cash register; VCR alone does not cover that scenario.
Can I integrate VCR with my website?
Yes. VCR provides a REST API with clear documentation. You can automate sales registration, prepayments, and refunds directly from your system.
