Manually creating invoices for every international order is costing your team valuable time. When you're selling globally, you already deal with enough complexity: different currencies, multiple languages, tax rules that change by market, and the expectation that every document is accurate.

There’s a simple solution. Automated PDF invoices generate themselves, adapt to each customer’s region, and deliver instantly without any manual work. They save hours, reduce support tickets, and give your shoppers the professional documentation they expect.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up automated PDF invoicing using Order Printer Pro, ensuring your global customers always receive accurate, compliant, and beautifully formatted invoices.

Why Automated Invoices Matter for Global Stores

Manual invoicing doesn’t just take time, it creates real operational risks.

• Time drain
  Even at 3–5 minutes per invoice, 50 orders per day can mean over 15 hours a week lost to repetitive admin tasks.
• Costly errors
  Incorrect currency formatting, wrong tax details, or missing customer information can create unnecessary support tickets and damage trust.
• Inconsistent customer experience
  A French customer shouldn’t receive an English invoice. A Japanese buyer shouldn’t be sent USD totals. Professional documentation matters — especially internationally.
• Compliance challenges
  Each region has specific requirements: EU VAT rules, UK post-Brexit requirements, U.S. sales tax formatting, Canadian provincial rules, and more. Missing details can create accounting or legal problems.
• Scaling limitations
  Manual work doesn’t scale. When order volume grows, so does the risk of falling behind.

Automation removes all of these problems, ensuring invoices are correct, formatted properly, and delivered instantly without human involvement.

How to Set Up Automated PDF Invoices: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Install Order Printer Pro and Configure Your Settings

After installing the app from the Shopify App Store:

• Add your legal business information (name, address, tax/VAT IDs)
• Upload your logo
• Select your preferred default language and formatting settings

Step 2: Choose and Customize Your Invoice Template

Order Printer Pro includes professional templates that you can customize to fit your brand. You can adjust colors, add your logo, and personalize layout and text.

Every invoice should include:

• Company name, logo, and contact information
• Customer billing and shipping details

Step 3: Enable Automated PDF Delivery

This is where automation takes over.

In the automation settings, you can configure:

Step 4: Set Up Multi-Currency and Multi-Language Support

Order Printer Pro detects the customer’s currency directly from the Shopify order and displays it correctly on the invoice.

For languages, you have two options:

Step 5: Add Region-Specific Tax and Compliance Fields

International invoicing often requires fields that only apply to certain customers. Order Printer Pro supports conditional Liquid logic so fields appear only when necessary.

Step 6: Test Before Going Live

Use Shopify’s test orders to check scenarios like:

• Different currencies (EUR, GBP, USD, CAD, AUD)
• B2C vs. B2B customers
• Multiple markets
• Orders with and without tax
• Orders with discounts, shipping, or duties

Verify:

• Correct formatting
• Accurate tax calculation
• Required compliance fields display only when needed
• PDF generation works
• Email links function correctly

Common issues to watch for:

• Incorrect currency symbols
• Empty tax fields
• PDFs blocked by password-protected storefronts
• Emails landing in spam

Best Practices for Global Automated Invoicing

• Organize your templates
  Clear names like “Invoice – English,” “Invoice – Germany,” or “EU B2B Invoice” will make management simple as your store expands.
• Use customer tags strategically
  Tag wholesale customers, B2B buyers, or tax-exempt accounts to route the correct invoice format.
• Start simple, scale thoughtfully
  One automated invoice template is enough to start. Add complexity once your foundations are working perfectly.
• Check logs regularly
  Order Printer Pro makes it easy to see whether documents generated correctly.
• Document your setup
  Write down which templates belong to which markets, what triggers each automation, and any customizations.
