Veira terminal and hardware

Does the Veira terminal come eTIMS ready out of the box?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

Yes. The terminal ships eTIMS ready, so once your account is live it issues compliant KRA invoices from the first sale. You do not buy or attach a separate ETR device.

More detail

eTIMS filing is built into the Veira app that runs on the terminal, not bolted on as an extra. Every sale is signed and transmitted to KRA, and the receipt that prints is the eTIMS invoice.

During onboarding the team helps connect your KRA PIN and details, so the terminal is filing correctly from day one rather than after a long setup.

Can it replace my old ETR machine?
