Invoice one order, invoice many orders for one customer, or run a bulk invoice across all account customers.
Invoicing turns the orders a customer has bought on account into a single, sent PDF on your letterhead. You can invoice one order at a time, combine several orders for the same customer, or sweep a date range across every account customer at once.
This page covers features gated by Manager-tier permissions. Managers and Admins have these by default; your administrator can adjust who has them in Settings > Team.
Invoicing requires the Invoices (Manage) permission, the same one that gates the rest of the Business page. Every flow on this page lives under Business in your dashboard — there’s no Invoice button on the order screen itself.
Customise how your invoices look and who gets copied in from Settings > General > Invoicing. These settings apply to every invoice you send, whether single or bulk.
Setting
Appears on
Logo
Top of the invoice PDF. Add your business name, address, phone, email, VAT number, and website below it so the page reads like a letterhead.
Invoice message
The thank-you message printed near the top of the invoice PDF, for example “Thank you for your order. Please see attached invoice.”
Footer
The text at the bottom of the invoice PDF. Use this for bank details and payment terms, for example “Strictly 30 days”.
CC email
An email address copied in on every invoice email Digital Florists sends. Useful for an accountant or bookkeeping inbox.
The customer’s Payment Terms (days) is set on their record under Customers > Edit > Credit Account Details, and Digital Florists uses it to calculate the due date printed on the invoice.
Use this when you want to send one order on its own.
1
Open the Business page and select the customer
Click Business in the sidebar, then pick the customer from the left-hand list. Only account customers appear there.
2
Switch to the Not Invoiced tab
The Not Invoiced tab lists every account order for that customer that’s ready to invoice.
3
Click Invoice on the order's row
A small screen opens asking for the invoice date. Pick the date you want printed on the invoice — today’s date works for most cases.
4
Confirm
Digital Florists creates the invoice, generates the PDF, and emails it to the customer. The order moves out of Not Invoiced and into Unreconciled Invoices.
The invoice email always goes out when you create the invoice this way; there’s no “create without sending” option on the single-order screen. If you don’t want to email it, see Re-emailing an existing invoice for how to resend a copy later.
When it’s time to invoice your account customers for the month (or any other period), use Bulk Invoice Orders from the action bar at the top of Business. Digital Florists sweeps every eligible account order in your chosen date range, groups them by customer, and creates one invoice per customer.
1
Click Bulk Invoice Orders
The button sits in the action bar at the top of the Business page.
2
Pick the date range and date type
Choose the period to cover, then pick the Date Type to filter by — Fulfilment Date or Order Date. Most shops run a monthly bulk invoice on Order Date.
3
Review the eligible orders
Every uninvoiced account order in the range is listed, one row per order, with Order #, Customer, Fulfilment, Created, and Amount. Cancelled, unconfirmed, and event-managed orders are filtered out automatically. Untick any order you want to exclude from this run.
4
Pick the invoice date
The invoice date can be backdated to the latest of (a) the most recent order’s created date and (b) the most recent fulfilment date in your selection — not earlier than that, and not after today.
5
Choose how to send
Tick Email to email each invoice to the customer (on by default). Tick ZIP to download every generated invoice PDF as one ZIP archive. You can pick either, both, or neither — if neither is ticked the invoices are still created and visible on each customer’s record.
6
Process
Digital Florists creates one invoice per customer, generates each PDF, sends the emails, and (if you ticked ZIP) downloads a single archive of everything in this run.
A bulk run with many customers can take a while. Leave the screen open until it finishes.
Use Search Invoices in the action bar at the top of Business to find any invoice across all your customers. Filter by status (unpaid, paid, credit notes), date, or include archived and deleted entries.You can also drill into a single customer and switch between Unreconciled Invoices, Reconciled Invoices, and History to see the invoices on that account.
If you’ve invoiced the wrong order or the wrong customer, you can delete an unpaid invoice. The deletion is soft — the invoice is removed from active lists and the orders it covered go back to Not Invoiced, ready to be invoiced again.
1
Open the invoice
From the customer’s Unreconciled Invoices tab (or from Search Invoices), open the invoice.
2
Click Delete
Confirm when prompted.
You can’t delete a paid or partially-paid invoice. Once any payment has been reconciled against it, the invoice is locked. To undo a payment, see Undoing a reconciliation. To credit a paid invoice back, issue a credit note — see Credit Management.
Invoice numbers are issued in the form INV- in the order they’re created across your shop. The number is set by Digital Florists when the invoice is created and can’t be customised per shop or reset.
Why isn't there an Invoice button on the order itself?
Single-order invoicing lives on the Business page, on the customer’s Not Invoiced tab. The order screen doesn’t have its own Invoice action — open the customer in Business and invoice from there.
Why can't I invoice this order?
The most common reasons: the order isn’t paid to Account (so it doesn’t sit on a credit account), it’s cancelled, it’s been invoiced already, or it was created from an event. Event-spawned orders are invoiced through the parent event.
Can I create an invoice without emailing it?
Not from the single-order screen — that path always emails the invoice. The Bulk Invoice Orders flow has an Email checkbox you can untick, which creates the invoices without sending them. You can also create from the single-order screen and then delete and recreate via bulk if you need to skip the email.
Can I combine orders for two different customers on one invoice?
No — one invoice = one customer. In the single-order flow, the Invoice button enforces this when you multi-select. In bulk invoicing, a multi-customer selection produces one invoice per customer, not a combined invoice.
Can I customise the invoice number format?
No. Invoice numbers are issued automatically as INV- and aren’t configurable per shop.
What happens to the order's status when I invoice it?
Invoicing doesn’t change the order’s status, fulfilment, or payment state — it just attaches the order to a new invoice. Reconciling the payment against the invoice is a separate step on the Business page.
Can I bulk-invoice retail customers?
No. Bulk invoicing only sweeps orders that have been paid to Account, which is only available on credit customers. Retail customers settle at the point of payment via a receipt.
Can I run invoicing from the Digital Florists App?
No. Invoicing is dashboard-only — sign in to Digital Florists from a browser.
