Configure Global Invoice Settings 

Note

The Invoices functionality is available as of OroCommerce version 6.1.3.

The Invoices feature enables customer users to view, download, and pay invoices directly in the OroCommerce storefront. In the back-office, administrators can access and manage invoice records. The feature supports one-click payments for individual invoices. It also provides the ability to import and manage invoices generated by external systems within the OroCommerce interface.

You can configure invoice-related sales globally, per organization, website, customer group and customer.

  1. Navigate to System > Configuration in the main menu.

  2. Select Commerce > Sales > Invoices in the menu to the left.

    Note

    For faster navigation between the configuration menu sections, use Quick Search.
