Electronic Invoice FAQ

Pgyer issues electronic invoices for account top-ups and purchases. Common questions are answered below.

What Is an Electronic Invoice?

An electronic invoice is a digitally stored payment receipt issued by Pgyer when you purchase a Pgyer product or service — typically a PDF file.

How Does an Electronic Invoice Differ From a Paper One?

• Seal: signed and stamped via an electronic signature, which is unique, non-repudiable, and tamper-resistant.
• Delivery: stored as a digital file and delivered over the network or mobile networks — no postal delivery required.

What's the Legal Standing?

Electronic invoices are explicitly recognized as legal invoices under Announcement No. 84 of the State Taxation Administration (2015); their legal force, basic purpose, and use are equivalent to paper VAT invoices supervised by the tax authorities.

Printing Requirements?

• You can print on any paper, color or black-and-white — the printout has the same legal force as a paper invoice.
• The same electronic invoice can be printed multiple times and used separately as the invoice copy, bookkeeping copy, and so on.
• Printouts can be submitted for reimbursement or bookkeeping directly; there's no need to apply for a paper invoice.

What Makes Electronic Invoices Convenient?

• Fast issuance: typically under an hour from application to issued invoice.
• Always accessible: sign in to the Pgyer dashboard to search and download invoices with electronic signatures.
• Verifiable: supports online verification, reducing the risk of accepting fake invoices.
