Can I create an invoice directly from the Invoices page?
No — invoice creation always starts from the order's Payment section (or a fulfillment card), never from the Invoices list itself.
How do I send an invoice email to a customer?
Click Send invoice from the order's Payment section or from the invoice detail page; it queues the email automatically using the customer's address on the order.
What is the difference between Send and Resend invoice?
Send invoice is the first email for a draft invoice and moves its status to Issued. Resend invoice queues a follow-up email for an invoice that's already been sent, without regenerating the PDF.
Can I collect partial payments?
Yes — choose Partial payment in the Collect payment modal and enter any amount up to the balance due.
Can I charge a saved card from invoice detail?
Yes, when card vaulting is enabled — choose the Card payment method in Collect payment to charge a card already on file for the customer.
Can I record manual payments like ACH or cheque?
Yes — choose ACH / Manual as the payment method, then pick the specific method (bank transfer, wire, cheque, cash, or other) and optionally add a reference number.
Can I void an invoice after creation?
Yes — use More actions → Void invoice on the invoice detail page; this requires confirmation and cannot be undone.
Can I export invoices in bulk?
Yes — select multiple invoices and choose Export from the bulk actions bar, or export the current page directly.
Can I download an invoice PDF?
Yes — use Download PDF on the invoice detail page at any time, even after the invoice has been voided.
What does External invoice ID mean?
It's the identifier used by an external ERP or accounting system for that same invoice, present when the store syncs invoices externally.
