This module allows for the generation and delivery of various order documents beyond standard receipts, such as pro formas, packing slips, and invoices. It provides a lightweight solution for creating, previewing, downloading, or emailing these documents to customers without storing them persistently. The module integrates with existing email notification systems to send these documents for different order events.
Drupal Commerce provides functionality for an Order Receipt that can be emailed to customer at checkout completion. Additionally, administrative users can manually send an Order Receipt to the contact email for an order. Many eCommerce sites have requirements for additional order documents such as:
- Pro forma
- Packing slip
- Invoice
- Commercial invoice
- Credit memo
The Commerce Invoice module provides flexible and heavy-weight invoicing capabilities. In contrast, this module provides a lightweight solution that does not store the order documents that are generated. The documents can be viewed or downloaded administratively or emailed to customers.
Another similar module that provides functionality for sending notifications to customers is the Commerce Email module. The emails use token replacement to include order details in their text, and the email sender uses an inline conditions element to govern whether or not the email should be sent for the given order / event. While this module also makes it possible to send documents for configured order events, the body of the emails are generated from templates (similar to the order receipt template included in Core Commerce.)
For additional information on the functionality provided by this modules, please see the project documentation (TBD).
