📄 Composer – Generating an Invoice

What is invoice generation in Composer?

Invoice generation in Composer allows you to create an invoice for orders that still need to be paid after the order has been fulfilled.

This is useful when:

• a wholesale customer places regular orders and pays later by invoice.
• an order is added directly in Composer instead of going through the normal checkout flow.
• you need to bill for a custom order after production and delivery.

When to use this?

Use Composer invoicing when:

• the customer pays on account rather than paying online.
• you want to generate one invoice for a date range, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.
• you want to generate a single invoice for one specific order.

Before you start

Before generating invoices, make sure:

• the order and account is already set up in Composer
• the correct customer or account is selected
• your invoice settings are configured correctly in Composer
