Generating Invoices

Invoicing in Shipturtle is as simple as can be with various customization options. Your invoices are stored on cloud and can be retrieved safely and securely from anywhere.

Step 1: Selecting Invoice Settings

You need to configure invoices at 2 places within ShipTurtle –

1. Configuring Shop Settings – Go to Shops -> Edit Shop. Toggle setting “Set tax rules on ShipTurtle” to either retrieve tax information from your channel directly or handle it within ShipTurtle. In case you are handling it within ShipTurtle, you need to select whether your incoming order line items include or exclude tax, and if tax is applicable on shipping.
   Example – If Prices have tax included, then the invoice will be for $90.9 + $9.1 (Product tax) + $8.3 + $1.7 (Shipping tax) = $110
   If Prices have tax excluded, then the invoice will be for $100 + $10 (Product tax) + $10 + $2 (Shipping tax) = $122

1. Configuring Billing & Invoice – Go to Settings -> Billing & Invoice. Input your Billing details. Configure the format of your invoice copy –
   • Tick GST format (India) to split your taxes into IGST/SGST/CGST component
   • Enter the number of decimal digits you want to display on your invoice. If you enter 2, $10.768 will show as $10.76.
   • Select which date should appear – Order date or Invoice creation date on Shipturtle
   • Configure your invoice number – sets its prefix, starting number and number of digits.
   • Add notes to the bottom left or bottom right of your invoice as required.

Your invoice number will automatically increment for each invoice generated. If you generate invoices in bulk, the numbers will get incremented for each invoice in sequence.
