Most WooCommerce stores eventually need proper order documents.<\/p>\n\n
You might need a PDF invoice for accounting, a receipt for the customer, a packing slip for fulfilment, or a credit note when a refund is issued. You also want documents that look professional, match your branding, and work reliably across WooCommerce email flows.<\/p>\n\n
Kitgenix PDF Invoicing for WooCommerce<\/strong> is a lightweight, security-first PDF invoicing plugin that generates WooCommerce order PDFs on demand \u2014 without heavy background queues, and without filling your uploads folder with permanently stored PDFs.<\/p>\n\n It\u2019s built around practical store requirements:\n- Stable document identifiers\/numbering history (so regenerated PDFs stay consistent)\n- Secure Dompdf rendering defaults (chrooted paths, remote disabled by default, PHP in templates disabled by default)\n- Theme template overrides and developer hooks\n- Clean admin preview\/download workflow on the order screen\n- Customer \u201cMy Account\u201d download buttons and order table actions (optional)\n- Configurable WooCommerce email attachments that clean up temp files automatically<\/p>\n\n This plugin uses Dompdf<\/strong> (installed as a Composer dependency). If you are building from source, you must run Composer so the Document types are registered in a document registry and can be extended via filters.<\/p>\n\n Secure by default<\/strong>\n- Dompdf configured with strict defaults:\n - chroot limited to allowed paths\n - remote resource fetching disabled by default\n - PHP execution inside templates disabled by default (opt-in only)\n- All admin\/customer download actions are protected with nonces and permission checks.<\/p>\n\n No bloat<\/strong>\n- PDFs are generated only when needed.\n- Email attachments are created as temporary files and automatically cleaned up at shutdown.\n- No custom database tables.<\/p>\n\n Built for WooCommerce documents<\/strong>\n- Refund-aware credit notes\n- Email attachment mapping\n- Customer download links in the right places\n- Store-friendly templates and template override system<\/p>\n\n Modular + extensible<\/strong>\nModules (Admin \/ Settings \/ Invoicing \/ Email \/ Frontend) are registered through a module manager and can be filtered for extension.<\/p>\n\n Settings page under the shared Kitgenix menu includes:\n- Company name, address, email\/phone, tax ID\n- Logo upload (WordPress media)\n- Footer text and customer notes\/footer notes\n- Document prefixes:\n -

Muted text colour\n - Border colour\n - Table header background\n - Document background\n - Footer background\n - Footer text colour<\/p>\n\n On WooCommerce order edit screens the plugin adds document actions:\n- Download Invoice (PDF)\n- Download Packing Slip (PDF)\n- Download Receipt (PDF)\n- Download Credit Note (PDF) (only shown when refunds exist)<\/p>\n\n Endpoints are secured using nonce + capability checks.<\/p>\n\n For documents that require stable numbering (invoices\/credit notes), the plugin persists document identifiers and relevant timestamps on first generation so the document remains consistent over time.<\/p>\n\n Templates can be overridden without editing plugin files.<\/p>\n\n Template resolution order:\n1) Full override via filter\n2) Theme override path:\n kitgenix-pdf-invoicing-for-woocommerce\/{style}\/\n3) Plugin templates fallback:\n templates\/{style}\/<\/p>\n\n Where Optional customer-facing downloads for the order owner:\n- Order details page buttons:\n -

order owner OR shop staff OR valid order key\n- Packing Slip:\n - shop staff only (by default)\n- Credit Note:\n - staff OR order owner (only if refunds exist) OR valid order key (only if refunds exist)<\/p>\n\n Final permission gate is filterable.<\/p>\n\n Attach PDFs to WooCommerce emails using settings and filters.\nThe plugin hooks WooCommerce\u2019s email attachment pipeline, generates PDFs as temporary files for each email, attaches them, and cleans up automatically.<\/p>\n\n Sensible defaults (customisable):\n- Invoice: Processing + Completed\n- Receipt: Completed\n- Credit Note: Refunded\n- Packing Slip: New Order (admin email)<\/p>\n\n To customise layout, copy templates into your theme override folder and edit them.<\/p>\n\n Copy templates from:\ntemplates\/{style}\/<\/p><\/li>\n Paste into your theme at:\nkitgenix-pdf-invoicing-for-woocommerce\/{style}\/<\/p><\/li>\n Edit the theme copies.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n The plugin will automatically use your theme templates instead of bundled templates.<\/p>\n\n Text domain:\nkitgenix-pdf-invoicing-for-woocommerce<\/p>\n\n Architecture:\n- Modular plugin with Admin\/Settings\/Invoicing\/Email\/Frontend modules\n- Document types registry (extendable)\n- Template system with theme overrides + HTML\/CSS filters\n- Secure download endpoints with nonce\/capability checks and optional order key validation<\/p>\n\n Key filters:\n- kitgenix_pdf_invoicing_modules\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_types\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_enabled\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_user_can_download\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_filename\n- kitgenix_pdf_invoice_filename (back-compat)\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_attachment (inline vs download)\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_template_path\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_html\n- kitgenix_pdf_invoice_html (back-compat)\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_custom_css\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_lang\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_title\n- kitgenix_pdf_document_body_class\n- kitgenix_pdf_show_shipping_address\n- kitgenix_pdf_email_document_map\n- kitgenix_pdf_email_attach_document\n- kitgenix_dompdf_enable_php (advanced; default false)<\/p>\n\n Key actions:\n- kitgenix_before_stream_pdf_document\n- kitgenix_after_stream_pdf_document\n- kitgenix_before_stream_pdf_invoice (back-compat)\n- kitgenix_after_stream_pdf_invoice (back-compat)\n- Template hooks:\n -
