Our company has built a lot of eCommerce site’s with WooCommerce and one thing that more than a few clients needed was the ability to send a customer and invoice and have a packing slip ship with their product. Some clients need both but some just need the invoice or the packing slip.
This WooCommerce tutorial shows how to simply setup a plugin that does both; PDF invoices and packing slips. The free plugin we’ll be using is WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips and the plugin author is Ewout and this person has created 6 other WordPress plugins.
Installing WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips
The first step is to install WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips from your PLUGINS > ADD NEW screen or you can download the plugin directly from WordPress.org by clicking here. Once the plugin is installed you will need to click Activate.
Once the plugin is activated you will access it’s settings by going to WooCommerce > PDF Invoices. The screen below shows the General settings page where you select which email types to attached the invoice to.
The second settings page in the WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slip plugin is the Template settings. The temple settings page is where you will specify the paper size, the company logo to be displayed at the top of the invoice, sellers business address and what fields to include on the invoice.
WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips plugin ads a few columns to your WooCommerce Orders. You will see in the image below that there is a column for Invoice Number. In addition to the Invoice Number there is also a download button for the PDF invoice and PDF packing slip for that particular order.
On successful orders the customer is emailed an invoice for their order as shown below.

i want particular user all invoices download from front end just like in admin side order area we can see. so is it possible to download invoices from front end by this plugin?

Sorry, this Plugin doesn’t provide a way to bring it to the front-end. The PDF can be sent to the customer attached to their order email however.
