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 Checkout settings in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the Invoices toggle to enable automatic invoicing.
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.

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.

Creating an invoice from scratch
