# Manage business invoices

Use **Business invoice** to prepare a PDF for a store and period. Open **Reports** → **Invoice manager**, then select **Business invoice** under **Invoice for**.

## Choose the invoice scope

Choose the store and period. Set **Invoice type** to **Charge the business commission and fees** or **Pay out the business**, according to the document you need. Set commission, fixed fee per order, tax, other amount and its description, and add notes as appropriate.

## Filter by payment method and order type

Under **Which orders count**, select payment methods and order types. Open **Which states?** to see the billable statuses. Use the project’s payment method labels when checking the scope.

## Include the intended orders

Check **Include canceled orders** and **Include discounts done by platform** against the intended calculation. Wait for the preview to update. Confirm the order count, breakdown and total due before downloading the PDF.

## Separate invoices from payout processing

Choose **Download PDF** for a single store. Use **Invoice several businesses** for a batch. The invoice type determines the calculation shown in the document. Use your accounting and payment processes to deliver the invoice or settle the amount.

## Useful review patterns

- Create separate records for commission and fee charges versus payout documentation when the accounting workflow requires them.
- Use date, business, payment-method, and order-type filters to make the selected order set auditable.
- Include canceled orders or discounted orders only when the financial policy calls for them.
- Use percentage, fixed, tax, and miscellaneous fields with a documented calculation or accounting rule.
- Review the generated document, selected business, totals, and supporting order scope before sharing it with accounting.
