Automatically creating invoices for each order

You can set your store to automatically create an invoice every time an order is paid online. These invoices have a balance of $0.00 because the order has already been paid.
Invoices are only created for:
  • Orders paid online through your site (not with the manual payment method)
  • Orders for which you have the buyer's email address
  • Orders for which you have not yet created an invoice

To automatically generate an invoice for every order:

  1. Go to eCommerce Settings in your site's dashboard.
  2. Select the Automatically create invoices for every new order paid online checkbox.
Note:
If you issue a partial or complete refund on a store order, the invoice doesn't update to reflect the refund amount.

Manually creating an invoice for paid orders

Create invoices for store orders that have the "paid' status so you or your customers have an official record of the purchase. You can create an invoice for a single order, or select multiple orders and create invoices for all of them at once. 

To manually generate an invoice for paid orders:

  1. Go to Orders in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the relevant paid order.
  3. Click the More Actions drop-down.
  4. Select Create Invoice.
  5. Click Create Invoice to confirm.  
  6. (Optional) Share, print, or email the invoice using the links at the top.
Tip:
You can also create invoices for multiple orders at once:
  1. Select the checkboxes next to the relevant orders or click the top checkbox to select all. 
  2. Click Create Invoice.
  3. Click Create Invoice to confirm.

Requesting payment via invoice for an unpaid order

You can create an invoice for an unpaid order to request payment from your customer. 
If you send the invoice to your customer by email or as a shared link, they can click to pay for it online using any of your payment methods.

To manually generate an invoice for an unpaid order:

  1. Go to Orders in your site's dashboard.
  2. Select the relevant unpaid order. 
  3. Click the Collect Payment drop-down and select Charge with invoice.
  4. Click Create Invoice.
    Tip: This creates a saved draft of your invoice.
  5. Select how to send the invoice to your customer:
    • Share using a link:
      1. Click Share link at the top. 
      2. Click Click Here to Create a Link.
      3. Click Copy Link.
      4. Click Done.
      5. Send the link to your customer.
    • Print a copy of the invoice:
      1. Click Print at the top.
      2. Print a PDF or hard copy of the invoice.
      3. Send the invoice to your customer.
    • Send by email:
      1. Click Send via email at the top.  
      2. (Optional) Edit the email's subject line or message.

      • Click + New Customer to add a new contact.
  7. Enter an invoice title.
  8. Add a store product to your invoice:
    1. Click the Product or Service drop-down and select a store product. 
    2. If relevant, select product variants and click Add to Invoice.
      Note: The product price and description are added automatically and can be edited.


    3. (Optional) Select an existing tax from the drop-down menu or create a new one. 
  9. (Optional) Add a line item to your invoice (e.g. billable hours):
    Tip: You can select this line item next time you send an invoice.
    1. Click the Product or Service drop-down.
    2. Select an option:
      • Add a new invoice item:
        1. Click +Add New.
        2. Enter a name (e.g. Dressmaking Services).
        3. Enter a description (e.g. Alterations on blue jacked).
        4. Enter a price.
        5. Click Save & Add.
      • Select an existing invoice item: Select the item from the drop-down.

What's next?
