WooCommerce Invoices, Receipts & E-Invoicing. Automated.

SemiAuto Invoicing handles all e-invoicing generation directly on your WordPress server. Whenever an order is completed, the plugin creates the required XML and PDF files locally using your WooCommerce order data—without sending your financial details to third-party document servers, except when transmitting through integrated gateways.

To help prevent formatting errors before sending, the plugin checks every document against the profile’s official rules — identifier formats, check digits and business rules — and refuses it with the cause and where to fix it rather than issuing invalid XML, generating files structured to meet 9 global e-invoicing standards:

• Peppol BIS Billing 3.0: The standard format used for B2B and public sector billing across Europe, on the 3.0.21 rules and including Norwegian EHF.
• PINT EU Billing V1.1.1: The updated European standard covering all 27 EU member states.
• PINT Singapore V1.4.1: Structured format for Singapore's InvoiceNow network.
• PINT AE V1.0.4: Formatted for the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) 2026 mandate.
• A-NZ PINT v1.1.3: Trans-Tasman billing standard for Australia (ATO) and New Zealand (MBIE).
• Japan PINT v1.1.3: Designed for Japan's Qualified Invoice System (QIS).
• PINT Malaysia V1.3.1: Formatted for Malaysia's Inland Revenue Board (LHDNM) MyInvois framework.
• German XRechnung 3.0.2: German public sector (B2G) standard with state-specific Leitweg-ID formatting.
• Factur-X 1.09 / ZUGFeRD 2.5: Hybrid PDF/A-3 invoice that embeds XML directly into a readable PDF for France and Germany.

Because everything is generated server-side, your files are created instantly, stored safely in your WordPress uploads directory, and ready for customer download or gateway transmission.

SemiAuto Invoicing acts as an automated e-invoicing compliance assistant, providing both offline local file management and a direct software integration to certified Peppol Access Points via the StoreCove API v2 Gateway (using a Bring-Your-Own-API-Key / BYOK model):

• Access Point Integration Notice: SemiAuto Invoicing is not an Access Point (AP) service provider; it is the software integration bridge that connects your WooCommerce store directly with certified Peppol Access Points (such as StoreCove). Merchants connect their own StoreCove account using their personal API key to transmit, route, and clear electronic invoices across the international four-corner network.
• Offline Local File Management Privileges: All core e-invoicing profiles—including Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, PINT EU Billing V1.1.1 (covering all 27 EU member states), Factur-X 1.09 / ZUGFeRD 2.5 (Hybrid PDF/A-3), German XRechnung 3.0.2, UAE PINT AE V1.0.4, Singapore PINT SG V1.4.1, Malaysia PINT MY V1.3.1, Australia & New Zealand A-NZ PINT V1.1.3, and Japan PINT V1.1.3—are generated 100% locally on your WordPress server. Merchants have full control to generate, inspect, download, attach to transactional emails, and embed XML into visual PDFs offline without sending financial data to third-party servers.
• Spain (FACe & B2B Mandate): Collects statutory DIR3 Triplets (Accounting Office / DIR3 Oficina Contable, Management Body / DIR3 Órgano Gestor, and Processing Unit / DIR3 Unidad Tramitadora) and Spanish NIF/CIF IDs, routing transmissions via StoreCove's ES:VAT scheme to assist with delivery into the Spanish General Entry Point of Electronic Invoices (FACe) and Peppol B2B channels.
• Italy (SDI & FatturaPA): Captures 7-character SDI Recipient Codes (Codice Destinatario), 16-character Codice Fiscale, and PEC mail. Dispatches structured UBL payloads through StoreCove using IT:CUUO (Public Administration IPA), IT:CFI (Codice Fiscale), and IT:IVA (Partita IVA) routing channels directly to the Italian Revenue Agency (Sistema di Interscambio / SDI). (Note: SDI tax authority clearance is handled through the integrated StoreCove gateway connection).
• India (GST e-Invoicing): Enforces 15-character GSTIN validation with state-code parity, captures Buyer Legal Trade Names for international Peppol BIS 3.0 transactions (schemeID="9958"), and routes structured UBL-JSON payloads via StoreCove's IN:GSTIN gateway adapter directly to the National Informatics Centre (NIC) Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) to assist with real-time IRN and QR code issuance.
• Germany (ZRE / OZG-RE & B2B Mandate): Validates all 16 German federal state Leitweg-IDs (DE:LWID, e.g., 05111-00001-55) with strict regex checking, enforces KoSIT-compliant rounding, and routes structured XRechnung 3.0.2 / ZUGFeRD streams via StoreCove to federal ZRE and state OZG-RE platforms.
• France (Chorus Pro & PDP Mandate): Ingests 14-digit Buyer SIRET (0009), Service Code (codeService), Purchase Commitment Number (numEngagement), and French VAT settlement regimes, compiling native Factur-X 1.09 PDF/A-3 hybrid invoices and routing via StoreCove FR:SIRET / FR:SIRENE to the Chorus Pro (PISTE) government gateway and registered Partner Dematerialization Platforms (PDP).
• Malaysia (LHDN MyInvois): Captures 12-digit BRN (SSM Business Registration Number), SST Registration Number, and Tax Identification Number (TIN), mapping them to PINT Malaysia (MY V1.3.1) with MSIC codes and routing via StoreCove's MY:TIN and MY:BRN channels to the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDNM).
• Japan (Qualified Invoice System / QIS): Captures 13-digit Corporate Numbers and Registered Invoice Numbers (T+13 digits), formatting Japan PINT (JP V1.1.3) XML with dual Japanese consumption tax rate breakdowns and routing via StoreCove's JP:SST and JP:CORP schemes.
• United Arab Emirates (UAE FTA Mandate): Validates 15-digit TRN, Buyer Commercial Trade License Number, and Issuing Authority, generating bilingual Arabic-English PINT-AE compliant UBL files locally and routing via StoreCove's AE:TRN channel.
• Singapore (InvoiceNow / IMDA): Validates 9/10-digit UEN (Unique Entity Number) and routes PINT-SG streams via StoreCove SG:UEN directly through Singapore's nationwide InvoiceNow network.
• Australia & New Zealand (Trans-Tasman Peppol): Enforces 11-digit ABN (AU:ABN) and 13-digit NZBN (NZ:NZBN / GLN), formatting A-NZ PINT streams for direct ATO and MBIE access points.
• Pan-European & Global Markets (EU 27 + UK, Norway, Switzerland): Supports KVK (NL:KVK), KBO/CBE (BE:CBE), NIP (PL:VAT), NIF (PT:VAT), Org. No. (SE:ORGNO, NO:ORG), and OVT (FI:OVT) with automated EU VAT Reverse Charge detection assistance.

Every document undergoes automated pre-flight syntax and scheme normalization prior to dispatch, providing structured compliance assistance with ISO 6523 Electronic Address Schemes (EAS) before reaching StoreCove Access Points.

A Hybrid PDF/A-3 invoice (governed by the international ISO 19005-3 standard) embeds the machine-readable e-invoice XML (factur-x.xml) directly inside a visual PDF invoice file.

This provides the best of both worlds: human customers receive a clear, beautifully formatted visual PDF invoice they can read or print, while accounting software (such as DATEV in Germany or Pennylane in France) automatically extracts and ingests the embedded XML data without any manual data entry.

SemiAuto Invoicing provides high-performance layout rendering for all core commerce documents, with an interactive Live Preview Studio built directly into the Free Core edition:

• Continuous Thermal Receipts (44mm–80mm): ESC/POS-optimized formatting for 44mm, 57mm, 58mm, 76mm, and 80mm receipt printers with high-density typography, kitchen item grouping, staff/cashier context, and customer pickup/delivery details.
• Standardized A4 / Letter Invoices: Complete commercial tax invoices with structured line-item tax breakdowns, payment instructions, and BACS bank transfer boxes.
• Fulfillment Packaging Slips: Warehouse packing sheets featuring product SKUs, customer delivery notes, and visual verification checkboxes.
• Credit Notes & Refunds: Standardized credit notes for full or partial order adjustments.

Note: Dynamic GS1 EAN-13, Code 128 & QR barcode generation is available in the Compliance Pro edition.

SemiAuto Invoicing integrates directly with certified Peppol Access Points via software API integrations. Two gateways are supported today: StoreCove API v2 and the A-Cube Peppol API, both with pre-flight checks, receiver lookups and status tracking. Each document is sent through one gateway only — your primary gateway first, with an optional fallback — and a credit note always follows the gateway of its invoice. StoreCove can also deliver over national networks you switch on: Italy SDI, Spain FACe and FACeB2B, Poland KSeF, India IRP and e-mail delivery for business buyers without a Peppol ID.

Important Access Point Requirement: SemiAuto Invoicing provides the automated software connection and XML payload transmission pipeline; we do not operate as an Access Point service provider. Store owners are required to maintain their own valid agreement or subscription directly with their chosen Peppol Access Point provider (e.g. StoreCove or A-Cube). Any third-party transmission fees or network subscriptions are billed separately by the Access Point provider and are not included in the plugin purchase price.

Yes. SemiAuto Invoicing is declared and tested compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / Custom Order Tables). It also supports multi-currency stores: exchange rates for the Tax Accounting Currency (BT-6) and dual-currency totals are read from the order, your multi-currency plugin, WooCommerce or the exchange-rate service and recorded with their source and date — a missing rate is reported, never assumed.

Free Core provides essential visual document generation: unlimited standard Thermal Receipts (44mm–80mm), standardized A4 Invoices, Packaging Slips, customer My Account downloads, and automated WooCommerce transactional email PDF attachments.

Compliance Pro unlocks the complete visual design, barcoding, and e-invoicing engine:

• Barcodes: Dynamic ISO/IEC 18004 QR Code & ISO/IEC 15417 Code 128 / GS1 EAN-13 barcode generation.
• Document Control: Corrected invoices, cancellation credit notes, debit notes, advance, final and summary invoices, with an accountant CSV export.
• 9 Global Peppol & PINT XML Standards: Peppol BIS 3.0, PINT EU, German XRechnung 3.0.2, Factur-X / ZUGFeRD 2.5, French Chorus Pro, PINT UAE, PINT Singapore, A-NZ PINT, Japan PINT, and PINT Malaysia.
• Hybrid PDF/A-3 (ISO 19005-3): Factur-X 1.09 / ZUGFeRD 2.5 embedded XML invoices.
• B2G Government Compliance: French Chorus Pro (SIRET / Service Code) and German Leitweg-ID validation.
• Access Point Transmission: StoreCove API v2 and A-Cube Peppol API with Gateway Pulse status sync, plus StoreCove national networks (Italy SDI, Spain FACe, Poland KSeF, India IRP).
• Operations: XML Credit Notes & refund workflows, Storage Manager with bulk download and auto-cleanup, and sequential receipt numbering.

Yes. Document Control on the order screen shows every document of the order in one tree — invoice, credit notes, corrected invoices, debit notes, advance, final and summary invoices — with its state. Issued documents are locked and are only ever changed with a new, linked document, so your numbering and audit trail stay intact.

• Corrections: issued in the pattern each e-invoicing profile allows — a corrected invoice (type 384) where the profile has it (XRechnung, Factur-X / Chorus Pro, BIS 3 within Germany), otherwise a credit note and a new invoice on a linked replacement order.
• Cancellations: orders cancelled after issue receive a cancellation credit note.
• Price reductions: issued as a credit note through a WooCommerce refund, without restocking.
• Debit notes: extra charges or extra quantities are invoiced on a linked order; WooCommerce computes the tax and manages the stock.

SemiAuto follows your tax jurisdiction as the seller. Domestic orders and sales between EU / EEA countries use the buyer’s EN 16931 format; a German public buyer with a Leitweg-ID always receives XRechnung. Every other sale is issued under your own profile as an export, with the official export tax category and no buyer-country tax derived.

Registered for tax in the UAE, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore or Malaysia? Add the registration under Foreign tax registrations and SemiAuto issues that country’s PINT profile with your local registration. The route of every order (domestic, intra-EU, public sector, registered, export or customer choice) is recorded and shown in the order box, and a routing preview in the settings shows the outcome before you sell.

Yes. Every payment received gets its own advance invoice with its VAT share and date, and the final invoice covers the whole supply and deducts the advances. If a payment is cancelled, its advance invoice is credited without changing the order. This works with the deposit and partial-payment plugins from Acowebs, Bayna, Deposet, DEPART, MagePeople and YITH (free).

For business customers billed periodically, a five-step wizard in Billing Documents creates summary invoices, keeps goods and services of an export in separate summaries and credits later refunds against the summary.
