    I am running Woocommerce and use the PDF Invoice & Packing Slip plugin.
    Plugin works perfectly well, however, I want an invoice to be sent, to customers, on NEW Orders.

    Currently the only option for NEW ORDERS is to send the invoice to admin.

    Could anyone assist

    PS: I need this so the invoice number can be generated against which the customer must make a payment

    Hi Corne,
    The PDF Invoice & Packing Slip plugin doesn’t create any new emails, it only attaches to the emails already available in WooCommerce. Since WooCommerce doesn’t have an email that is sent to the customer at the same time the ‘Admin new order’ email is sent out, this is not currently possible.

    However, when a customer places an order, they should receive an email already unless the order is cancelled or pending. This is probably either the ‘On Hold’ email or the ‘Processing’ email, depending on the payment gateway used. These are listed in the settings and you can attach the invoice to those too.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    See, I need to provide the customer with a payment reference, and more specifically the invoice number.

    My understanding is that your plugin generates the invoice numbers. Is an invoice number available at time of sending “new order” email. If so, I can simply include such number in the customer email.

    After placing order in Woocommerce, the “Thank you ” page is displayed with order number, order date etc.
    Is the invoice number available at this stage, for me to use it as a variable in the “thank you” page?

    Hello Corne,
    You can let the plugin create the invoice number without creating the PDF document, as described in this thread.After that code, you can do

    
<?php echo $invoice_number; ?>

    to show the invoice number (on the same page).
