What do my invoices look like to dealers?

Workspace → Invoice preview shows you, before a dealer ever receives one. The sheet on the page is the real PDF, rendered by the same code that produces the documents your dealers get — not an HTML mock-up that could drift from the real thing. Three tabs cover the three invoice types a dealer can receive: Pay per file (one order, paid by card), Bought credits (a credit pack) and Monthly invoice (a billing cycle on account). The amounts and the dealer on the sample are placeholders; your logo, colours and company details are the real ones.

Seeing the VAT treatment a dealer actually gets

The Bill to picker swaps the sample dealer for one of your real dealers. VAT (value added tax) treatment belongs to the pair of you, not to you alone: the same invoice charges a dealer in your own country the domestic rate, reverse-charges a VAT-validated dealer in another EU member state, and takes a non-EU dealer out of scope. The paper is the only place that difference shows, so pick a dealer to preview exactly what they receive.

The details that print on every invoice

The panel beside the sheet edits what prints on all three invoice types: payment terms, payment instructions, IBAN and BIC (your bank account and bank identifier), a memo line and a footer line. Changes appear on the sheet as you type — the preview re-renders — but only Save makes them print on real invoices.

Why the fit meters matter

The invoice renderer has hard limits and trims silently: at most 4 term lines print, each line is cut at 100 characters, and the footer at 90. The meters under the fields exist because of exactly that — they count what you have written against those limits and turn amber with "will not print" or "the rest is cut" while the text is still yours to shorten. A fifth line or an over-long sentence is not an error anywhere else; without the meter it would simply vanish from the paper.

If the preview will not render

If the sheet stays blank or the page reports it could not render the preview, change any field to trigger a fresh render first. If it keeps failing, open a support ticket naming the invoice type tab you had selected and the dealer chosen under Bill to.
