Quite simple. If you already have a WordPress site or blog you need the Flexible Invoices FREE plugin. And you’re “ready to go”!
Of course, if you’re just starting your business, blog, or want to provide services – you may want to choose WordPress.
Why? Because WordPress is the most popular (41% of websites use it) CMS platform. You can use it for your company, blog, or any projects. What’s more, WordPress is simple to install and start. And it has got a lot of plugins (WooCommerce included), themes, designers, tutorials, and a great community.
Use a free WordPress plugin for invoicing
You may choose many plugins from the WordPress repository (or themes) to improve your site. Our free WordPress invoice plugin will let you generate a PDF invoice directly in your WordPress admin area.
Create a WordPress invoice
First, see the process to set the plugin and to issue a PDF invoice in WordPress below. As you can see, first, you insert all the necessary data, products, and taxes.
Then you may download the desired PDF invoice or more invoices in bulk.
Finally, you send them to your customers or print invoices on your printer. Everything will be under your control. And you’ll find all invoices in WordPress next to your blog posts & pages.
Manage your WordPress blog or company site with your invoices in one place! So, no more need for any external invoice system or billing your services elsewhere.
PDF Invoice in WooCommerce with a free plugin
So, as you’ve seen, you may create a manual invoice in WordPress. It may suffice when you take orders through a contact form, phone, or email. But when your services and products become more popular, reach for WooCommerce. It’s also a free plugin that will let you transform your site into a store.
You will be able to show your offer & services, automate the process of getting new orders. And now, sell your products and services through your e-store. That is what WooCommerce will let you do.
Are you new to WooCommerce?
If you know WooCommerce pass the videos. The first one is a short intro showing you in short what WooCommerce is about.
Next, you can watch the second one. In my opinion, it’s a nice tutorial on how to start using WooCommerce. If you would like to know more, read the guide.

WooCommerce PDF invoice plugin
When your WooCommerce store is running and sales are automated. What’s more, you’ve gained more time and energy to grow your business. Now, it’s time you need to invoice your WooCommerce orders.
The Flexible Invoices plugin will let you create a PDF invoice in WooCommerce for free as well. So you’ll be able to issue an invoice payment in WordPress, generate invoices for WooCommerce orders, and issue a manual PDF invoice at the same time!
The free Flexible Invoices plugin, you have installed, will now invoice for your WooCommerce orders too.

Reliable and flexible invoicing plugin for WooCommerce

Is it possible to use the PDF Invoice plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce at the same time?
Yes! Let’s suppose you sell your products & services online in your fresh WooCommerce store. The Flexible Invoices plugin helps you issue invoices for WooCommerce orders as well!
The invoice gets data from WooCommerce orders. Your customer billing address, phone number, payment status, and method. All go onto invoices.
Though, you still have some “old” clients. They prefer to call you and do not want to place a WooCommerce purchase order. So, you still issue invoices manually for them.
Of course, all invoices will be ready to edit, download, email, and print anytime you need them (both from WooCommerce orders and WordPress ones).

A custom PDF WooCommmerce invoice template
Of course, if you need to edit the pdf invoice template you may do that. In the free version of the plugin, you can adjust the invoice template. In the PRO version, you may customize 3 types of invoices. You can adjust the invoice to your needs, for example to:
- change the invoice fonts
- change the invoice language (the plugin is also compatible with WPML)
- add a payment link to the invoice
- add meta fields from WooCommerce orders or any annotation you need
- add extra information to the invoice notes for a WordPress invoice (outside WooCommerce orders)
Your business grows & so does the Flexible Invoices plugin!
As far, you were issuing invoices manually, and for WooCommerce orders. But you get more orders and there are more urgent calls to make and tasks to do. New business opportunities, expanding to a new town (or social media). And also, advertising your products or hiring someone on board.
If you need more time, dive into the PRO features below & compare free with PRO. You will see if you need a more robust version of the WooCommerce invoice plugin to issue documents automatically.
