Order processing
You can choose the level of automation of order processing through the App:
- No automated Order processing
No Shopify Orders are processed automatically - Create Billomat Invoice from Shopify Order
For every new Shopify order an (tagged) draft invoice will be created automatically, containing all ordered items and shipping fees. If the orderer doesn't exists in Billomat, it will be created. Otherwise his data will be updated. - Create and complete Billomat Invoice from Shopify Order
Includes the previus step, but also completes the invoice with the desired letterpaper template.
Invoice Template
If you have more than one invoice template, you can choose one for completion of the invoices.
If you only use the default template, this option isn't available.
Invoice tag
You can define a tag for the generated invoices of the App.
Working with the App
Depending on your settings for the order processing, the app automatically handles orders from your Shopify Store. If everthing is setup as desired, you don't have to call the App again and new invoices should appear in Billomat with every new order in Shopify.
Additionally to the automated processing you can initiate the invoice creation directly from the app on demand by hand. So you are able to create invoices from older existing orders and you are in complete control over the created invoices.
For this purpose you can find buttons for Creation (Create Invoice) and Completion (Complete Invoice) of the invoices.
Invoices created from the listet orders are shown with invoice number, date and state.
Important notes
The App supports different currencies, considers shipping fees and detects wether it should be a gross and net invoice.
Currently there is no support of multiple tax rates. If an order has multiple tax rates, the invoice may be not correct.
