What is Samoa TIMS?
TIMS stands for Tax Invoice Monitoring System — the fiscalization framework operated by Samoa's Inland Revenue Services (IRS). Businesses and software providers in Samoa need a compliant way to issue, fiscalize, and report tax invoices to IRS. For POS vendors, this usually means adding a fiscalization layer to the existing POS workflow rather than rebuilding the POS itself.
For businesses, it means choosing the correct setup based on how invoices are created today: at a counter through a POS, in accounting software, in an ERP, or as one-off documents in the back office. The right FiscoBridge product follows that decision — not the other way around.
Who needs a TIMS compliant POS?
This page is for Samoa businesses, POS vendors, software companies, accountants, and organizations that need:
- Samoa TIMS compliant POS software
- Samoa fiscalization software
- TIMS v3 POS migration support
- Sales Data Controller for Samoa

How can an existing POS migrate to TIMS?
The shortest path is usually: keep the POS, add fiscalization behind it. Your POS already knows the invoice — the items, the totals, the tax. What needs to change is what happens after the cashier hits "save": that data is sent to FiscoBridge, which signs and reports the invoice, and returns the fiscal payload your POS needs to print on the receipt.
For POS vendors maintaining one product across many Samoa clients, this turns a fleet-wide compliance scramble into a single integration project. The same API contract works whether the SDC runs locally on the till PC or in the cloud.
FiscoBridge solution options for Samoa
Six ways to reach TIMS compliance. Pick the one that matches where invoices live in your business today.
Existing POS + FiscoBridge SDC
Best for: POS vendors and businesses with a POS in place
Your existing POS sends invoice data to the FiscoBridge Sales Data Controller. FiscoBridge handles the fiscalization layer and returns the fiscalized invoice data to your system. No POS replacement, no hardware refresh.

Best for: retail and restaurants that want a complete till
FiscoBridge Desktop POS is a full point of sale for Windows, macOS, and Linux with TIMS fiscalization built in through the SDC. Inventory, customers, shifts, and reports are included, so there is no separate POS to buy and integrate.

Best for: simple invoice issuing without a POS project
FiscoBridge Web Invoicing provides a browser-based way to issue invoices and manage a simpler fiscalization workflow. Useful for service businesses, small retailers, and any business that does not want to build or maintain its own POS integration.

Best for: businesses and accounting firms invoicing in Xero or Odoo
Invoices raised in Xero are fiscalized in real time and the fiscal reference is written back onto the invoice. Odoo works the same way, on Odoo Online or a self-hosted, on-premise deployment. You choose whether fiscalization happens when an invoice is approved or when payment is recorded.

Best for: Samoa businesses invoicing in MYOB AccountRight or MYOB Business
Both MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business are supported. Connect over OAuth, map your MYOB tax codes to the TIMS tax rates, and invoices are signed with your PFX certificate and submitted automatically. FiscoBridge polls MYOB, so invoices are normally fiscalized within about five minutes.

If you already operate a POS at a counter and just need it to become TIMS compliant, the Sales Data Controller is usually the right answer. If you need a till but do not have one yet, Desktop POS gives you the point of sale and the fiscalization in a single install. If you run a service business and your "POS" today is a Word document or a manual invoice book, Web Invoicing will replace that workflow without forcing you into a desktop install. If invoices already live in Xero, MYOB, or Odoo, an accounting integration keeps them there and only adds fiscalization on top.
For multi-site businesses and ERP setups, FiscoBridge typically combines two of the above — for example SDC at retail tills, plus an accounting integration for back-office invoices issued by the finance team.
Pricing and setup
The correct Samoa TIMS pricing depends on your business workflow. A single business using Desktop POS or Web Invoicing may need a simple subscription. A POS vendor or ERP provider may need an API integration. A business using Xero, MYOB, or Odoo may need an integration license based on company, invoice volume, or setup.

Frequently asked questions — Samoa TIMS
Practical answers for Samoa business owners, POS vendors, and accountants.
The best solution depends on your current system. If you already have a POS, the best approach may be connecting it to FiscoBridge through the Sales Data Controller. If you do not have a POS, FiscoBridge Web Invoicing may be simpler.
Yes, if your POS can be modified to send invoice data to an API. This allows your existing POS to stay in use while FiscoBridge handles the fiscalization process.
TIMS v3 POS migration means updating an existing POS or fiscalization workflow so it can work with newer TIMS requirements. This may include changing invoice fields, API communication, fiscal receipt output, and reporting logic.
Yes, two options. FiscoBridge Desktop POS is a full point of sale for retail and restaurants on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with TIMS fiscalization built in through the SDC. FiscoBridge Web Invoicing is a browser-based option for businesses that only need to issue fiscalized invoices without building their own POS integration.
Yes, all three. Xero and Odoo invoices are fiscalized in real time, with Odoo supported on both Odoo Online and self-hosted, on-premise deployments. MYOB is supported for MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business; FiscoBridge polls MYOB for new invoices, so fiscalization normally completes within about five minutes.
Yes. POS vendors can use the FiscoBridge API and SDC approach to add fiscalization to their existing POS software.
Yes. Multi-store and multi-device setups can be supported depending on whether the business uses local POS devices, a central server, Web Invoicing, or an integrated ERP system.
Start by identifying where invoices are created today: POS, accounting software, ERP, or manual process. Then FiscoBridge can recommend SDC, Desktop POS, Web Invoicing, Xero integration, MYOB integration, Odoo integration, or custom API integration.
