Format

The invoice comes in PDF format (.pdf) and is readable by any pdf viewer. The file downloads to your default or predefined download folder.

Functionality

Dokan PDF Invoice has a threefold usability. Admin, Seller and Customers have their own menu of generating invoices through this add-on.

Note: This is something that gets many people confused. When you are generating a invoice of an order with sub-order, you will only get the name of the Market and names of the Vendors/Seller only. However, if you generate individual invoices for the sub-orders separately, you will get full address and information of the Vendor.

Important to note

You need to head over to wp-admin→woocommerce→pdf invoices→template and add your market logo and information there for a proper output of your invoices.

Usage – Vendor

Vendors can also generate their invoices. Vendor has to go to Seller Dashboard→Orders press the Dokan PDF Invoice button which appears at the right of each order. The admin and seller’s invoice are absolutely the same.

Usage – Customer

Customers can also get their invoices for the orders they make. Customer has to go to My Orders and click Download Invoice (PDF).

If you are creating a single invoice from an order which has suborders you will get an invoice with the admin/market address with only the sellers shop name. Something like this –

You can generate separate invoices for the sellers of the suborder and it will have the full address and information of the seller/shop.
