How To Validate Buyer Details
Step 1. Find and Open the Invoice
Start by locating the invoice for the transaction you want to verify. Open it and make sure it’s the official version sent by the seller.
Step 2. Look for Verification Details
Check whether the invoice is fiscalised—this means it should include:
- A black and white QR Code
- Some verification details, like invoice metadata and security information
Step 3. Scan the QR Code
Use your phone or a QR code scanner to scan the code on the invoice. Be sure the QR Code is fully visible and scanned clearly—it’s what connects you to the official records.
After scanning, you'll be taken to the ZIMRA (Zimbabwe Revenue Authority) Portal. There, you’ll see key information about the invoice, such as:
- The business’s trade name
- Their address
- The invoice date and invoice number
- The total amount and the currency
Step 5. Check the Buyer Details
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Review Invoice”.
A new window will pop up showing detailed buyer information, including:
- The registered buyer’s name
- Their contact information
- Other helpful transaction details
