About this plugin
Invovate Invoice Generator connects your WordPress site to the Invovate invoice API so you can create professional PDF invoices in 11 languages (including right-to-left Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, and Cyrillic).
- [invovate_invoice_form] shortcode — drop a simple “create invoice” form on any page. Visitors enter a business name, client, and line items and get a downloadable PDF link (valid 7 days).
- invovate_generate( $invoice, $args ) helper — call from your theme or another plugin to generate invoices programmatically (e.g. on a WooCommerce order or form submission).
- Free API key — required for the invoice form (it generates a shareable PDF link). Get a free key at invovate.com/auth and set it under Settings → Invovate. The invovate_generate() helper can still compute JSON totals without one.
Languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Hindi. 20+ currencies, per-line tax, 5 templates.
Configure the form (shortcode options)
[invovate_invoice_form] accepts these attributes:
- fields — comma list of inputs/controls to show. Available: from, to, items, currency, language, template, notes, qr, link. Items always show. Default: from,to,items,currency,language,qr,link.
- from, to — prefill (or, if not in fields, lock) the business and client name.
- currency (default USD ), language (default en ), template (default classic ).
- tax — true / false: show the per-item Tax % field. Default true.
- qr — default state of the scan-to-view QR ( true / false ). When link is in fields, users get a checkbox; the QR is disabled while the link is off (it points at the link). Default true.
- link — default state of the shareable link ( true / false ): true = a 7-day shareable link; false = a direct PDF download with no link or QR. Default true.
- rows — number of starting line-item rows. Default 1 (an “Add item” button is always shown).
- button — submit-button label.
Example shortcodes (copy & paste)
Basic form, all defaults:
[invovate_invoice_form]
Lock your business name; the client fills in the rest (EUR, German, navy template):
[invovate_invoice_form from=”My Company GmbH” fields=”to,items” currency=”EUR” language=”de” template=”navy”]
Freelancer invoice in USD with a scan-to-view QR:
[invovate_invoice_form from=”Jane Doe” currency=”USD” qr=”true”]
Direct PDF download instead of a 7-day shareable link:
[invovate_invoice_form link=”false” button=”Download invoice”]
Three starting rows, with the tax field and a notes box:
[invovate_invoice_form fields=”from,to,items,currency,language,notes” rows=”3″ tax=”true”]
Japanese invoice (JPY, consumption tax):
[invovate_invoice_form currency=”JPY” language=”ja” template=”modern”]
Minimal — client name and items only:
[invovate_invoice_form fields=”to,items” from=”Acme Studio”]
Not regulated e-invoicing. PDF/UBL output is for interoperability and archival only — it does not provide Peppol, Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, or NF-e compliance or government-network delivery.
External services
This plugin connects to the Invovate invoice API to generate invoices. It is a first-party integration with a service operated by the plugin author.
com/api/generate-invoice. If you set an API key under Settings → Invovate, it is sent as an Authorization: Bearer header. Nothing is sent on page load or in the background.
What is returned: either a shareable PDF link (the invoice is stored for up to 7 days, then automatically deleted) or the generated PDF file.
