Document generation is the unglamorous layer every store needs: invoices attached to order emails, packing slips for the warehouse, credit notes for refunds. WebToffee’s PDF Invoices Pro is the category standard – customize, auto-generate, and print WooCommerce PDF documents from one plugin, with cloud storage, FTP/SFTP delivery, sequential numbering, and the customization depth (logos, signatures, tax text, file naming) that turns templates into branded documents.
The 1.7.x line shows steady, compatibility-focused maintenance – the registry’s three versions (1.7.6-1.7.8, May-August 2026) each add real functionality alongside WooCommerce version tracking. Here’s the working review.
Competitive Features
- Automated generation and email attachment. Invoices, packing slips, and credit notes generate automatically and attach to order emails – the hands-free document pipeline.
- Cloud Storage with FTP/SFTP (1.7.7). Documents store on cloud services including FTP/SFTP destinations – the document-archival layer that grows with order volume.
- Customizable templates. Invoice, packing slip, and credit note templates with logo, signature upload (moved to the Customize tab in 1.7.6), and layout control – documents that carry the store’s brand.
- Sequential invoice numbering. Order-safe numbering with credit note support – the accounting-compliance foundation.
- Email field in From Address (1.7.6). The From Address section can include the email field – sender identity control on documents.
- PDF file naming for packing slips (1.7.6). Configurable file naming for slip documents – the workflow detail for fulfillment teams.
- Additional email attachments (1.7.6). Send extra attachments alongside invoices – customs forms, warranty documents, whatever the order needs.
- “Incl. tax” text control (1.7.8). Hide or edit the tax-inclusion label – the jurisdiction-specific wording that tax-compliant invoices require.
Key Features
- Credit notes. Refund documentation generated as proper credit notes linked to orders – the return-handling half of the document stack.
- Bulk printing. Print packing slips and invoices in bulk from the orders list – warehouse workflow supported.
- Tax display logic. Tax-inclusive and exclusive display with editable labels – multi-region stores render correct tax presentation.
- Attachment rules per status. Documents attach to order emails per order status – automation that follows the fulfillment flow.
- WooCommerce compatibility tracking. Every release documents tested WooCommerce versions (10.8.0 through 10.9.4 in this line) – the compatibility discipline explicit.
- Free-core foundation. Built on the wp.org plugin with 50,000+ active installs – the Pro layer adds the professional features on a well-tested base.
- Customizer add-on. A dedicated document customizer plugin extends template editing further – the design depth available beyond built-in options.
- QR code add-on. QR code generation on documents – the compliance feature emerging in several jurisdictions.
Comparison with Competitors
Webtoffee PDF Invoices vs the free wp.org plugin
The Pro version is what the free core becomes at operational scale.
| Aspect | Pro | Free plugin |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud storage | FTP/SFTP + cloud services | Local only |
| File naming | Per-document naming | Default |
| Email attachments | Additional attachments supported | Documents only |
| Customization depth | Full template control | Basic |
| Proforma invoices | Available | No |
Stores under modest volume can run free; anything with fulfillment teams, archival requirements, or tax-label rules needs the Pro layer.
Webtoffee PDF Invoices vs WooCommerce Print Invoice & Delivery Notes
The adjacent competitor comparison: full document system versus delivery notes.
| Aspect | PDF Invoices Pro | Delivery Notes plugins |
|---|---|---|
| Documents | Invoices, slips, credit notes | Delivery notes mostly |
| Numbering | Sequential legal numbering | Basic |
| Cloud storage | Yes | Rare |
| Credit notes | Native | No |
The credit note and numbering layers are what separate an invoicing system from a printing helper – the same data family that import/export suites move between systems.
Recommended Stack: Order documents and order data move together operationally – the WebToffee import/export suite handles the data layer while PDF Invoices Pro handles the document layer, both from the same vendor with shared compatibility discipline. on the operations side, the WP ERP suite consumes the same order records the documents certify – documents for customers, ERP for the books.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents does it generate?
Three core types – PDF invoices, packing slips, and credit notes – with proforma invoices available as an add-on. Documents attach automatically to order emails per configurable order status, and print in bulk from the orders list.
Is the GPL version the full Pro plugin?
Yes. The GPL build is the complete Pro source under its original license – cloud storage, custom file naming, additional attachments, and template customization all enabled. The vendor license key for auto-updates is the only absence.
Can I use it on multiple sites?
The GPL license permits unlimited installations across personal and client sites without per-domain activation – fitting for agencies standardizing order documents across a portfolio.
Does it support cloud storage?
Yes – 1.7.7 added FTP/SFTP support for Cloud Storage alongside the existing cloud destinations, so generated documents archive outside the web server.
Are invoices sequentially numbered?
Yes – sequential invoice numbering with credit note support is the compliance foundation of the plugin, with customizable numbering settings for jurisdiction requirements.
Which WooCommerce versions are supported?
The release line tracks WooCommerce explicitly: 10.8.0 (1.7.6), 10.9.1 (1.7.7), and 10.9.4 (1.7.8) – the compatibility testing is documented per release.
