What does this procedure entail?
From January 1st, 2026, Article 9 of the 2025 Budget Law requires merchants to connect and register online on the Agenzia delle Entrate portal:
- electronic payment instruments, such as POS and solutions like Tap to Pay;
- instruments used for storing and transmitting receipts, such as the Telematic Register (RT) or the Online Commercial Document.
Who must establish the connection?
In general, merchants who use electronic payment instruments must establish the connection.
Exceptions: The obligation may not apply if the merchant uses such instruments exclusively for collections related to operations exempted from the obligation to issue a commercial document, such as in the case of vending machines, fuel sales or electric vehicle charging, unless the merchant chooses to issue it anyway.
Which devices must I connect?
You must connect all instruments with which you collect electronic payments, both hardware and software, for example:
- Physical POS (contactless/chip card readers)
- Tap to Pay (apps on smartphones/tablets that transform the device into a POS)
If you use Qonto solutions such as POS and/or Tap to Pay, they are among the devices to be connected.
By when must I do this?
The timeframes depend on when you started using the POS / when the connection was activated or modified:
- If the POS was already in your possession on January 1st, 2026 or was activated in January 2026: the connection must be established by April 20th, 2026.
- If you activated a new POS or modified connections after January 31st, 2026: the connection must be established between the 6th day of the second month following the month of activation/change and the last working day of the same month (example: POS activated in April 2026 → between June 6th and June 30th, 2026).
Where is the connection made?
The connection is made on the Agenzia delle Entrate portal, from the area: "Fatture e Corrispettivi".
Access is via SPID/CIE/CNS (or Entratel/Fisconline credentials, if applicable).
What data do I need to complete the procedure?
During the procedure you will be asked for information about the financial operator (acquirer) and the device.
Financial operator (acquirer) data
- Italian/foreign acquirer: Foreign
- Acquirer tax code: 10813760963
- Acquirer name: Qonto SA (formerly Olinda SAS)
- Agreement contract number: will be communicated via email
Device data: Terminal ID
- For physical POS: the Terminal ID is indicated:
- on the back of the device
- on the device in Settings > Device information
- will also be communicated via email
- For Tap to Pay: the Terminal ID corresponds to a unique code that Qonto will communicate to you via email. Please note that this code changes with each new app installation: every time we detect a payment made after a re-installation, you will automatically receive an email with the new updated ID.

How to connect the POS / Tap To Pay (main steps)
Steps may vary slightly based on your profile, but generally:
- Access Fatture e Corrispettivi on the Agenzia delle Entrate website
- Enter the Corrispettivi section and then the Collegamento dispositivi – POS area
- Open Gestione collegamenti and select the acquirer (financial operator). If not present, manually enter the required data
- Enter the POS/Tap to Pay data:
- POS type: select POS fisico (Tap to Pay is considered physical POS)
- Terminal ID
- Numero del contratto di convenzionamento
- Complete the required data on the local unit/address (if required) or select "dispositivo ambulante" if applicable.
- Confirm to save the connection.
Why is it important to do this?
The obligation aims to ensure payment traceability and proper fulfillment of tax obligations. Penalties are provided for non-compliance: for details and cases, the official Agenzia delle Entrate documentation is authoritative.
What happens if I change POS or re-install Tap to Pay?
In case of new activation or change in device data, it may be necessary to update the connection on the Agenzia delle Entrate portal within the prescribed timeframes. The update is required, for example, in case of activation of a new POS, connection to another RT, or device decommissioning.
If you use Tap to Pay, each new app installation generates a new Terminal ID: remember to update the connection on the Agenzia delle Entrate portal with the new code you will receive via email from Qonto.
