Invoices directory

Hi,

Invoices are generated on the fly by HikaShop. So they are not stored anywhere.
Now, there are several ways to go about it:

- Many accountants would actually prefer having the data of the orders as a CSV file they can easily import in their accounting software, rather then going through each invoice one by one. For that, you have the "export" button of the orders listing. Also, with a massaction (menu System>Mass actions), you can use an action "export CSV file" on the "order" data and select the columns you want to be available in the CSV (you need to first talk with your accountant to see what they would like to have in the CSV file). And you probably want to add some filters to only export confirmed orders or only shipped orders, and probably some other filters like on the date (so you could export only one month of data for example), based on how you use HikaShop.
We're actually doing it like that with our accountant and it's quite nice. It's faster and less boring work for him, and thus cheaper for us.

- some people will add the email address of the accountant in the "cc" setting of the "order status notification" email (menu System>Emails) so that the accountant can get a copy of the email sent to the customer after the order is paid.

- some others will use the PDF invoice plugin: www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/18-plugin-pdf.html This plugin can allow two things:
1. it will generate a PDF file of the invoice which will be attached to the email sent to the customer after the order is paid. So if you combine it with the second point above with the email address of the accountant in CC, he will get a real invoice file for each order.
2. the plugin will also add an "invoice" button on the orders listing. So you can select all the orders you want to take into account, click on the "invoice" button, and it will generate one PDF file with all the invoices in it. That way, you only have 1 file to send to your accountant for all the orders of a period.
