Wiki ยท Settings in Detail

Every setting, explained with examples

A deep dive into the Settings & Design hub โ€” grouped exactly as it appears in the app, with a screenshot, a plain-English explanation and a concrete example for every panel. New here? Start with Modules & Settings for the big picture first.

The Settings & Design menu โ€” six groups, one live preview panel.

Design & Layout

The visual foundation โ€” template, logo, layout structure and business data.

Invoice Design

Pick a template, upload your logo, and set fonts โ€” the base look for every document.

Invoice Design
Invoice Design
  • Choose one of 10 ready-made design templates, or switch to a fully custom color scheme
  • Upload your logo and choose header alignment: left, centered, or right
  • Override the currency symbol shown on documents, independent of the order's actual currency
  • Set header, subheader and total font sizes independently (8โ€“20px)

Company Info

Use your own business details instead of pulling them from Shopify.

Company Info
  • Override name, address and VAT ID shown on every document
  • Useful if your legal entity or billing address differs from your Shopify store profile
  • Leave a field empty to fall back to the Shopify default

Customer Display & VAT Numbers

Control what customer information appears on documents, and manage stored VAT numbers.

Customer Display & VAT Numbers
  • Toggle whether the customer's country and tax number are shown on documents
  • Store and edit a customer's VAT/GST number for reuse across future invoices (Basic+)
  • A saved number can also be corrected per-invoice from the Invoice Detail screen

Layout Options

The structural layout of the document โ€” independent from the visual template.

Layout Options
  • Layout Style: Standard, Compact, Modern, Classic, Executive, Minimal, or Corporate (colored header banner)
  • Address Position: side by side or stacked
  • Table Columns: show/hide product images, unit price, unit-price measurement ("Grundpreis"), SKU/variant number, supplier section
  • Compact table style for denser line-item tables

Billing Country & Currency

The default billing country and currency new documents start with.

Billing Country & Currency
  • Sets the default currency for Custom Documents and as a fallback across the app
  • Independent from each order's actual currency, which is always used for real Shopify orders

Content & Text

The written and visual extras that appear on your documents.

Custom Text

The written parts of your documents โ€” notes, terms and footer text.

Custom Text
  • Invoice note, payment terms, footer text, packing slip note, and refund note โ€” each editable independently
  • Quick-fill templates give you a solid starting point you can then adjust
ExamplePayment terms โ€” "Payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date. Late payments may incur additional charges."

Social Media

Add your social links to the document footer.

Social Media
  • Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube โ€” add whichever apply, leave the rest empty
  • Shown as small icons/links in the footer of generated documents

Signature

A personal touch โ€” your signature image and a label underneath it.

Signature
  • Upload a signature image (e.g. a scanned or digitally drawn signature)
  • Add a label, such as a name or "Authorized signature"

Formatting

How dates, numbers, borders and spacing are rendered.

Date & Number Format

How dates and prices are written on every document.

Date & Number Format

Border Settings

Fine control over the document's borders.

Border Settings
  • Toggle top and bottom borders independently
  • Set border color and width

Spacing & Margins

Fine-tune whitespace across the document.

Spacing & Margins
  • Separate margin controls for header, address block, line-items table, totals and footer
  • Useful for matching a specific paper layout or fitting more content on one page

Special Features

Optional add-ons: stamps, QR codes, tax rules, return forms and filenames.

QR Code

Add a scannable QR code to your documents, with dynamic content.

QR Code
  • Point it at the order number, the order's page, or a fully custom link/text
  • Supports dynamic variables โ€” see the Dynamic Variables Reference below
ExampleCustom content: https://mystore.com/track?order=$OrderNumber โ†’ a real, scannable link per invoice

Tax Override BASIC+

Override the tax rate for specific products or countries.

Tax Override
  • Rules by product title or by country
  • Takes priority over Shopify's own calculated tax rate on the document

Return Form

A printable return form with your own reason codes.

Return Form
  • Define the reason codes customers can choose from (e.g. "Wrong size", "Damaged", "Changed my mind")
  • Downloadable alongside the invoice on Basic/Business plans

Download Filename

Customize how bulk-downloaded files are named.

Download Filename
  • Set a prefix and suffix applied to every filename in a bulk ZIP download
  • A live preview shows exactly what the resulting filename will look like

Numbering, Payments & Reminders

Custom invoice numbers, automatic sending and payment reminders.

Invoice Numbering BASIC+

Add a custom prefix/suffix to Shopify's order number.

Invoice Numbering
  • Prefix and suffix fields, each supporting dynamic variables โ€” see below
  • Optional "#" before the order number
  • Live preview shows exactly how numbers will look before you save
ExamplePrefix INV-{YEAR}- โ†’ INV-2026-1001, INV-2026-1002, โ€ฆ

Payment & Email Webhook

Where payment info shows up, and what triggers automatic sending.

  • Choose the trigger: "order paid" or "order created"

Reminder Settings

Configure up to 4 payment reminder levels for manual sending.

Reminder Settings

  • Set timing for each level, e.g. "3 days after due date", "7 days after due date"
  • Reminders are always sent manually, from the Send Invoice screen's "Send Reminder" tab
  • Subject and message text for each level are edited separately, in Email Settings

System

Housekeeping โ€” resetting your configuration.

Reset Settings

Start over, without losing your history.

Reset Settings
  • Restarts the setup tour and clears design/company configuration
  • Your invoice, download and email history is kept
  • "Delete All My Data" (a separate, irreversible action) also removes history โ€” use with care
