Invofast Invoice Printer for WooCommerce

Changelog

1.28.0

• New: a “CSS classes reference” table inside the builder’s Custom CSS box and on the settings screen, so you can discover what to target when styling.
• New: the design starts with real default values, and the Print Station page shows a friendly enable-it notice instead of a permissions error when the feature is off.
• Fixed: settings template/CSS editors render full width; invalid invoice tokens return proper 403/404 statuses.

1.27.0

• New: edit any checkout field’s printed label per language (Arabic/English) right from the builder’s fields panel, with reset-to-original; overrides apply by invoice language and travel with export/import.
• New: per-block outer spacing, inner padding, and a block border (color + thickness) in the style panel; a “Space between blocks” control; and a Custom CSS box inside the builder with live preview.
• New: printer icon on the Print button (all layouts, RTL-checked).
• Fixed: design options were lost when starting from an empty design; label editors opening by default; invisible checkbox check marks.

1.26.0

• New: Overall Design panel in the Template Builder — pick a color for all invoice lines (dividers, header rule, table borders) and add an optional page frame with color, thickness and a corner-rounding slider. Saved with the layout, live in the draft preview, and carried through template export/import.
• Improved: per-block color now also recolors individual divider blocks; compact checkboxes for block options.

1.25.0

• New: the PAID / UNPAID payment mark is now a corner stamp (bordered, rotated, top-left) instead of a page-wide watermark.
• New: “Currency Position on Invoices” setting — place the currency symbol left/right of amounts on printed documents only, without touching the store setting.
• New: Template Builder — Undo (Ctrl+Z), Reset layout, checkout-fields search with section grouping, an editable printed label on every field block, and Store Info options to hide the address or CR/VAT line.
• Fixed: buttons and dropdowns inside builder blocks could swallow clicks in some browsers (blocks are now draggable from the card/handle only); removed a stray “Checkout Field” chip from the palette.

1.24.0

• New: Checkout Fields panel in the Template Builder — lists every field currently registered on your checkout (core, classic checkout-field plugins, and block-checkout Additional Checkout Fields); click or drag to print any of them, with a refresh button that picks up newly added fields. Empty fields are hidden on print.
• New: the builder’s live preview now shows the design as you build it, before saving — changes preview automatically within a second, without touching the saved template.
• New: template export / import carries the visual builder layout, so a design stays editable in the builder after importing it on another site.
• Improved: builder column layouts collapse to one column on thermal (80mm) paper; mobile overflow fixed; fields-panel header aligned.

1.23.0

• Improved: Template Builder redesign — clean white cards, monochrome shape icons (Dashicons) for every block, modern switch toggles and rounded checkboxes (also on the settings screen), styled save buttons, custom-chevron dropdowns, and circular hover close buttons. Fully RTL-aware, with complete Arabic translations for every builder string.
• Improved: easier building — move up/down and duplicate buttons on every block, a visual column-layout picker, an unsaved-changes indicator with a leave-page warning, and an empty-canvas hint.

1.22.0

• New: drag & drop Template Builder — drag blocks from the palette straight onto the canvas, drop them into a new Columns block (50/50, 33/67, 67/33 or three columns), and style every block from its gear panel (alignment, text size, text color, background). New Spacer block. All layout and styles are sanitized server-side and print correctly.

1.21.0

• New: Hijri (Umm al-Qura) date option — shown next to the order date, with localized month names following the invoice language, plus a [wcip_date_hijri] shortcode for custom templates.
• New: payment-status watermark option — a large faded PAID (green) / UNPAID (red) stamp across the invoice. Cash-on-Delivery orders count as unpaid until completed, so the courier can tell at a glance whether to collect; wcip_watermark_is_paid filter for custom gateways.

1.20.0

• New: smart bulk printing — sort the bulk print page by area (Kuwait checkout fields, falling back to city), city, shipping method, or payment method from a toolbar dropdown. Each group starts with a separator sheet (group name, order count, order numbers) on its own page, so the printed stack splits per courier at a glance.

1.19.0

• New: optional “View your invoice” button in customer order emails — links to the signed customer invoice page (same link as the WhatsApp button and order notes). Customer emails only; plain-text emails get the raw link; the button follows the accent color when enabled.

1.18.0

• New: items pagination shortcodes for multi-page custom templates — [wcip_items_rows offset=”” limit=””] splits item rows across pages, and [wcip_if_items more_than=””]…[/wcip_if_items] (or at_most=””) shows a block only for the matching item count, e.g. a styled “products continuation” page that appears only when the order exceeds the first page.

1.17.0

• New template shortcodes for pixel-exact custom designs: [wcip_field key=”” from=”billing|shipping”] (any single address/contact field, including Kuwait fields), [wcip_items_rows] (bare item rows to build your own table), [wcip_subtotal], [wcip_shipping_total], [wcip_grand_total], and [wcip_shipping_method].

1.16.0

• New: visual Template Builder (WooCommerce → Template Builder) — assemble the invoice from blocks (logo, store info, info grid, address, items table, totals, QR codes, text/HTML blocks, …), drag to reorder, with a live preview pane that refreshes on every save. Saving generates the shortcode template into the Custom Template editor for further fine-tuning.
• New: [wcip_label key=””] shortcode — any translated label from the plugin’s string table.
• New: a Preview button in the Custom Template settings renders the latest order without counting as a print.
• New: template import / export — download the custom template + CSS as one JSON file and upload it on any site (own section under the settings). Imports are validated and sanitized the same way as the editor.

1.15.0

• New: Custom Template builder — design the printed documents yourself with HTML + shortcodes from the settings screen. Every invoice element ships as a shortcode ([wcip_items_table], [wcip_totals], [wcip_address], [wcip_logo], QR codes, …), [wcip_meta key=””] prints any order meta or custom checkout field, and shortcodes from other plugins render too. Includes a custom-CSS box, a shortcode cheat-sheet, and a copyable starter template.
• The custom template applies to all three document types; the items table and totals adapt automatically (the packing slip drops prices). Templates are sanitized with WordPress kses on save and render; wcip_* shortcodes output nothing outside an invoice render.

1.14.0

• New: Status After First Print — optionally move an order to a status of your choice (e.g. Processing) the first time it is printed from the dashboard or the print station. Public-link views never change the status; re-prints never change it again.
• New: Print Report — a WooCommerce → Print Report screen showing how many orders were printed today, how many recent orders are printed in total, and a list of unprinted recent orders with one-click print buttons.
• New: Order QR code — optionally print a QR of the order number on every document, so the warehouse can scan the slip instead of typing the number.
• New: Saudi e-invoice (ZATCA) QR — print the phase-1 TLV QR (seller name, VAT number, timestamp, total, VAT amount) on standard invoices. QR codes are rendered as sharp inline SVG via the bundled PHP QR Code library (LGPL); no GD required.
• New: store identity fields — optional Commercial Registration number, VAT number, and branch name printed under the store name.
• New: invoice accent color — replace the default blue on the header line, items-table header, and print button.
• New: Arabic footer note — a separate footer used when the invoice prints in Arabic; other languages keep the default note (wcip_footer_note filter for more languages).
• New: outgoing webhooks — POST a signed JSON payload (X-Invofast-Signature, HMAC SHA-256) with order data and signed invoice links to any URL, on first print and/or on every status change. Sent via wp_safe_remote_post, so private-network targets are refused.

1.13.0

• New: Packing Slip — a third print button on the order screen (also available for the auto-print station) that prints the order with products, quantities, and address but no prices at all. Ideal for warehouse and packing stations.
• New: Send via WhatsApp — a button on the order screen that opens a WhatsApp chat with the customer’s billing phone, pre-filled with a message carrying the signed invoice link. The phone number is converted to international format automatically; the message is customizable via the wcip_whatsapp_message filter.
• New: Sequential invoice numbering — optional accounting-style numbers (prefix, starting number, digit padding, optional yearly reset like INV-2026-0001). The number is assigned atomically on the order’s first print, never changes afterwards, and the WooCommerce order number stays printed on its own line.

1.12.0

• Multi-language support: all strings converted to standard WordPress internationalization (English sources), so the plugin is translatable into any language via translate.wordpress.org. Arabic ships bundled in /languages.
• The invoice language setting now offers every language installed on the site (not just Arabic/English); the invoice renders via locale switching, RTL languages are detected automatically, and the toolbar language button cycles through the available languages.
• Field coverage fix: the checkout-fields collector now skips only the meta keys the delivery-address block actually printed in the current invoice — a custom field the address block could not resolve (e.g. a Region field under an unrecognized key) now always appears in Additional Information instead of being lost.

1.11.1

• Full compatibility with Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce Pro: custom fields are now read from the assembled checkout form itself (the woocommerce_checkout_fields pipeline), so every field the merchant adds — including fields in Pro custom sections — prints on the invoice, whatever plugin or version created it.
• Password, hidden, and heading-type fields never print; fields already shown in the delivery-address block or by the KDM / Order Delivery Date integrations are excluded, and a wcip_checkout_fields_skip_keys filter allows hiding specific fields.
• The Area row in the delivery address now also reads custom checkout fields (billing_area / billing_region), combined with the city when both exist.

1.11.0

• New: custom checkout fields print on the invoice in the “Additional Information” block — supports the WooCommerce block-checkout Additional Checkout Fields API, Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (ThemeHigh), and Flexible Checkout Fields (WP Desk). A wcip_checkout_fields filter lets other plugins add their own rows.
• Fix: Shop Managers (and any role with the manage_woocommerce capability) got “you are not allowed” when saving the plugin settings — WordPress requires manage_options on options.php unless the plugin declares otherwise. Saving now uses the same capability as viewing the page.

1.10.0

• New: Print links in order notes — when enabled, every new order gets a private note with signed invoice links (standard + shipping invoice when the shipping discount is on). The links work without logging in, so they open straight from the official WooCommerce mobile app.
• New: Auto-Print Station — a WooCommerce → Print Station screen you keep open on the shop computer. Orders entering the configured statuses are queued server-side and printed automatically (invoice type, paper, and polling interval configurable). Run Chrome with —kiosk-printing for fully silent printing; queued orders are caught up when the station reopens.
• Signed public links are bound to the order and invoice type via HMAC; regenerating the site secret (deleting the wcip_link_secret option) invalidates all previously shared links.

1.9.0

• New: Shipping Invoice — a “Print Shipping Invoice” button on the order screen (appears when a discount is configured) prints a copy with all product and fee prices reduced by the “Shipping Invoice Discount (%)” set in the plugin settings. Fees are printed as regular lines inside the items table. Only the discounted prices are printed; the delivery charge is unchanged and the totals are recalculated to match.
• The shipping copy shows a screen-only badge in the toolbar so it is never confused with the standard invoice; the badge is not printed.
• If your theme overrides invoice-template.php, re-copy it from the plugin to keep the paper/language toolbar working on the shipping copy.

1.8.0

• Plugin renamed to “Invofast Invoice Printer for WooCommerce” (slug and text domain: invofast-invoice-printer-for-woocommerce). Settings and option keys are unchanged, so everything carries over.
• All remaining inline <style> blocks (invoice templates, order meta box, orders list) moved into stylesheets loaded via wp_enqueue_style() / wp_print_styles().
• Added the Requires Plugins: woocommerce header so WordPress 6.5+ enforces the WooCommerce dependency automatically.
• Theme template override path is now your-theme/invofast-invoice-printer-for-woocommerce/.

1.7.6

• Plugin Check (PCP) compliance: print stylesheet now registered/enqueued via wp_enqueue_style() instead of inline <link>.
• Fixed unescaped print-count output in the order meta box.
• Removed deprecated load_plugin_textdomain() call (WP 4.6+ loads translations automatically for wp.org-hosted plugins).
• Removed unused Domain Path header.
• Bumped tested-up-to to WordPress 6.9.

1.7.5

• Text domain renamed to invofast-invoice-printer-for-woocommerce to match the wp.org plugin slug.
• Theme override path renamed to your-theme/invofast-invoice-printer-for-woocommerce/.

1.7.4

• Default for “Show Delivery Charge” flipped to enabled.
• Description copy updated to reflect the new default.

1.7.3

• Strip WooCommerce’s “via {Shipping Method}” annotation from the shipping line — only the price is printed.

1.7.2

• Replace “Payment method” label with “Paid with” / “تم الدفع بـ”.

1.7.1

• New setting: Show / hide the delivery charge line in the totals table.
• Payment method line in totals rendered in smaller, lighter type.

1.7.0

• Advanced Custom Fields integration: order-level fields render automatically in an “Additional Information” block.
• Helper handles common ACF types: text, choice, image, file, link, post object, user, taxonomy, group, repeater, google_map.

1.6.0

• Per-item meta (Woo Extra Product Options, Product Add-Ons, variation attributes, Woo Variation Swatches) renders under each product name.

1.5.0

• Logo size presets (Small / Medium / Large / Extra Large) and logo position (Start / Center / End), RTL-aware.

1.4.1

• Default for “Show Product Image” flipped to enabled.

1.4.0

• New setting: Show product image column in the items table. Variation image preferred, parent image as fallback.

1.3.4

• Address builder picks up Kuwait Delivery Manager meta keys (_kdm_house_no, _kdm_block_no, _kdm_jaddah, _kdm_area_name) when no structured delivery fields are returned.

1.3.3

• Every line in the address block is now labeled (Name, Area, Block, Street, House, Postcode, Country, etc.).

1.3.2

• Order Delivery Date Pro / Lite integration: delivery date, time slot, and additional checkout fields appear with the labels the admin configured.

1.3.0

• Customer name, phone, and email moved into the meta column beside the invoice number.
• Customer note moved inline with the delivery information.

1.2.0

• Bilingual admin settings page — follows the user’s WordPress locale.
• Address line 1 and line 2 always included on the invoice when supplied.
• Delivery fields respect the configured address priority (billing vs shipping).

1.1.1

• “Show Customer Note” defaults to enabled on new installs.

1.1.0

• Initial public release with HPOS compatibility, A4 + thermal layouts, RTL support.
