As an online store owner, you already know that creating invoices and packing slips can be a challenge using default WooCommerce functionality. WooCommerce, out of the box, has limited functionality for managing invoicing on your online store.
While you can use other WooCommerce plugins to help you better manage invoices, third-party plugins can increase the bloat on your site. This will reduce page speed and slow down your WooCommerce site. It also negatively affects the user experience of your online store.
Ideally, you want a robust plugin – such as Booster Plus – to create and manage invoices and packing slips. This way, you don’t have to worry about using multiple WooCommerce plugins.
In this article, we’ll take a look at all the features that come with Booster’s Plus’s WooCommerce PDF Invoicing and Packing Slips module. We’ll also go over how you can add additional columns to your WooCommerce PDF invoices to create detailed invoices for clients and customers.

WooCommerce PDF Invoicing and Packing Slips key features
Let’s take a look at some key features on offer with the WooCommerce PDF Invoicing and Packing Slips module by Booster Plus.
Generate reports
Using the General tab from the module’s setting, you can select and create the type of documents you need for your WooCommerce store and decide when those documents should be created. Just add when to create the document using the text field next to each document type.
In addition to this, you can select the checkbox Do not create if order equals to zero. This will prevent the module from creating invoices and other packing documents if the order value is not greater than zero.
Numbering
The Numbering section lets you set the numbering format you want to use for each invoice document and other packing documents on your WooCommerce store.
Using these settings, you can define the number format for all feature orders on your WooCommerce store.
Templates
The WooCommerce PDF Invoicing and Packing Slips feature lets you use HTML templates. This means that you can create different invoices for users that are from different billing countries.
Using Booster for WooCommerce Shortcodes to extend HTML templates, you can also add a page break to the invoice document for your eCommerce store.
Styling
Using basic CSS, you can style your invoices but it’s important to remember not all CSS features are available. You can set the default font family and properties by adding the “font-family” property to CSS.
Using this section, you can also adjust the Font Size and can tick the checkbox next to Make Font Shadowed for adding extra customization touches to your online store’s invoices.

Email options
The email options section lets you choose an action for when you want to attach your invoice to an email and the payment gateways to include. Booster Plus for WooCommerce automatically adds all emails to the list, including custom emails created on your WooCommerce store.
The PDF invoices or packing slip documents can be attached to multiple emails at once, you just need to create the documents before attaching them to the email.
