Designed for flexibility, speed, and reliability, it assists merchants with formatting continuous thermal receipts( 44mm – 80mm), professional A4 PDF invoices, and logistics packing slips directly from WooCommerce orders. ### Compliance Disclaimer No plugin can provide complete legal, tax, or regulatory compliance. SemiAuto Invoicing operates as a software compliance assistant to help merchants format and generate store documents aligned with technical specifications. Store owners remain responsible for ensuring their accounting records satisfy applicable local, national, and international laws. This software does not provide legal or tax advice.

Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/semiauto-invoicing` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **WooCommerce -> Settings -> SemiAuto Invoicing** to configure store branding, template designs, and document options. ## FAQ ### How do I customize my store logo on invoices and receipts? Navigate to **WooCommerce -> Settings -> SemiAuto Invoicing -> General** (Business Identity section), click **Select / Upload Image**, and select your store logo from the WordPress Media Library. The logo is resolved locally and embedded securely. ### Where are generated PDF documents stored? Documents are generated locally and stored inside your WordPress uploads directory(` wp-content/uploads/semiauto-invoicing/`). The plugin automatically generates defensive`. htaccess` (for Apache / LiteSpeed), `web.config` (for Microsoft IIS), and `index. php` silence files to block direct HTTP directory browsing and serves downloads through authenticated endpoints. ### How do I secure stored documents on Nginx servers? Because Nginx does not read runtime `.htaccess` files, add the following location block to your site’s Nginx server configuration: ``` location ^~ /wp-content/uploads/semiauto-invoicing/ { deny all; return 403; } ``` This blocks direct web access to the physical storage folder while authenticated customer and admin downloads continue to function seamlessly through the plugin’s secure PHP endpoints. ### Can developers filter the document storage root path? Yes, developers can customize the storage directory using the `ogpsr_document_storage_root` filter. The filter includes fail-safe sanitization and validation to ensure compatibility with your host environment. ### Can customers download their invoices from My Account? Yes, authenticated customers can download their PDF invoices directly from the WooCommerce My Account orders screen. ### What global e-invoicing formats and gateways are supported in Pro? Our premium engine supports server-side PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0, PINT EU (V1.1.1), Singapore PINT (SG V1.4.1), Malaysia PINT (MY V1.3.1), UAE PINT (PINT-AE), Australia/ New Zealand PINT (AUNZ-PINT V1.1.3), Japan PINT (PINT-JP), Factur-X 1.09.2 / ZUGFeRD 2.5.2 (PDF/A-3), and German XRechnung (3.0.2) XML generation. Additionally, Pro features native Peppol Access Point transmission via StoreCove API v2 and A-Cube Peppol API across international jurisdictions. It operates on a transparent Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model—merchants connect directly using their own gateway credentials without recurring gateway markups or middleware lock-in. ### Is this plugin compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)? Yes, SemiAuto Invoicing is declared and tested for WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / Custom Order Tables). ### How does the plugin handle GDPR, Erasure, and Document Retention? SemiAuto integrates natively with the WordPress Personal Data Exporter and Eraser. Non-statutory caches and tokens are purged upon request. Invoices and receipts may be retained locally for statutory accounting requirements (customizable via the ` ogpsr_privacy_retain_financial_records` filter). Data Inventory: * Customer details: Formatted inside generated documents from order data. * Order identifiers: Stored in standard order metadata. * Generated documents: Saved locally in protected upload directories. * Diagnostic logs: Stored locally; sensitive credentials are never logged. * Licensing metadata (Opt-in only): Handled by Freemius; never tracks customer transactional data. ### Which image formats are supported for store logos? SemiAuto Invoicing supports PNG, WebP, and JPEG images. For optimal print clarity on continuous thermal rolls and high-resolution A4 prints, we recommend a PNG with a transparent background (at least 600px wide). Vector SVGs are excluded by design to prevent document rendering distortion and safeguard server security against XML and SSRF vulnerabilities. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SemiAuto Invoicing” is open source software.

The field is plain text only: HTML, scripts and code are removed when it is saved and when it is printed, and shortcodes print as typed text. * Tax rows on receipts and invoices show the rate charged on the order, e.g. “VAT( 5%)”; the rows, their order and the amounts stay exactly as on the WooCommerce order and e-mails. Rates edited or deleted later do not change existing documents. * Address lines no longer show a comma before the country when city, state and postcode are empty, nor a space before the comma; the shipping country and state print by name instead of their codes. * PDFs keep the space before WooCommerce’s “(includes … tax)” note when prices are shown including tax. * Admin: button icons line up with the button text again on WordPress 7 (its button styles pushed smaller icons below the text).
