Automated PDF link

Learn how to generate an automated link that allows customers to download their Invoice, Packing Slip, or other PDF documents directly from their Shopify email notifications.

This feature enables your customers to download their own Invoices, packing slips, or other PDF documents you want to share. By embedding a unique link in Shopify's email notifications, you can automate document delivery and improve the customer experience.

Access the settings

You can find this feature by navigating to Settings > Automated PDF link in the app menu.

Go to menu

Template type

Select the type of document you want to make available for download.

Choose template type

  • Invoice: Choose this option if you want customers to download their order invoice.
  • Order: Choose this option to let customers download the order confirmation details as a PDF.
  • Packing slip: Use this to allow customers to download shipping and packing information.
  • Refund: Select this option for orders that include refunded items.
  • Quotation: This template type is used for draft order invoices.

If you choose Quotation, our app will work with only draft orders. For example:

After choosing a template type, select the specific template design you want to use. You can create and manage your designs in the template editor. Learn more about customizing templates.

Choose template

Enter the text you want customers to see for the download link (e.g., "Download PDF Invoice"). A descriptive label is more user-friendly than a raw URL.

Enter link label

Once you enter a label, the app will generate a PDF link code snippet. Copy this snippet to your clipboard.
