WooCommerce PDF Invoice Maker 1.0.9

WooCommerce PDF Invoice Maker is a professional automation tool designed to handle the "boring" but essential side of e-commerce: documentation. Instead of manually creating receipts, this plugin generates high-quality, legally compliant PDF invoices, packing slips, and shipping labels the moment an order is placed.

In 2026, where digital transparency is key, providing an instant, professional PDF is a major trust signal for your brand.

📄 Key Functionality

This plugin automates the entire document lifecycle for your WooCommerce store:

Automatic Generation: Invoices are created automatically based on order status changes (e.g., when an order is marked "Completed").

Email Attachments: Automatically attaches the PDF invoice to the customer's "Order Confirmation" email.

Bulk Processing: Allows store owners to download or print hundreds of invoices or packing slips with a single click—essential for busy shipping days.

Custom Sequential Numbering: Set your own invoice prefixes and suffixes (e.g., INV-2026-001) to match your accounting records.

✨ Pro Features & Customization

Unlike the basic built-in WooCommerce emails, this maker gives you full design control:

Drag-and-Drop Designer: Most "Maker" versions include a visual editor to place your logo, change colors, and adjust font sizes to match your brand (perfect for kits like Glasseo or Greenco).

Multi-Document Support: Beyond invoices, it generates:

Packing Slips: For your warehouse team (no prices shown).

Shipping Labels: For the outside of the box.

Proforma Invoices: For international shipping/customs.

Credit Notes: For handling returns and refunds.

Tax Compliance: Handles VAT, GST, and local sales tax calculations automatically, ensuring all required legal fields are present.

🛠️ Technical Setup

To get your invoicing system running smoothly, follow these steps:

General Settings: Upload your Company Logo and enter your Business Address and Tax ID.

Trigger Settings: Choose which email should have the PDF attached (usually "New Order" for the admin and "Completed Order" for the customer).

Template Selection: Pick a layout. Most makers offer a "Classic," "Modern," or "Minimalist" template.

Paper Size: Ensure you select the correct format (usually A4 for Europe/Asia or Letter for the US) so the PDF prints correctly for your customers.

💡 Store Strategy for 2026

The "Thank You" Marketing: Use the footer of your PDF invoice to include a unique discount code for the customer's next purchase. Since they often save invoices for their records, the code is easy for them to find later.

Go Paperless: Include a small note in your email saying, "In an effort to save trees, we've attached your invoice as a digital PDF. Please only print if necessary." This aligns your brand with eco-friendly values.

Legal Protection: Ensure your Terms & Conditions or Return Policy is summarized briefly at the bottom of the invoice. This provides a clear "paper trail" in case of payment disputes.

Cloud Storage: If the plugin supports it, sync your invoices to Dropbox or Google Drive (or your Vue File Manager) for easy access by your accountant.

⚙️ Requirements

WooCommerce: Active and configured.

mPDF or Dompdf Library: Most plugins will ask to install one of these to handle the actual "printing" of the PDF.

SSL Certificate: Essential for the secure handling and generation of customer data.
