Features

Free plugin, paid service

GPLv2-or-later, free on wp.org and GitHub. Revenue lives in the invoice-api.xhub.io service subscription — the same model you trust for Stripe, PayPal, and Mollie.

Three formats live, seven more in 2026

PDF, XRechnung, and ZUGFeRD ship today. The remaining country-specific formats appear automatically in the dropdown once the backend supports them.

§14 UStG-compliant invoice numbering

Gap-free, race-safe sequential numbers via a custom DB table. Token format `2026-{seq:0000}` for legally compliant production use.

HPOS-compatible + GDPR hooks

WooCommerce 8+ High-Performance Order Storage supported at activation. Personal data exporters and erasers registered via `wp_privacy_personal_data_*`.

Action Scheduler — checkout stays fast

Invoice generation runs off-thread via Action Scheduler. Checkout and admin-save are never blocked by the external API call.

Custom invoice templates

Design your layout in the console, copy the Template-ID, paste into plugin settings. Per-order override via custom field is supported.

How it works

Install the plugin from wp.org, sign up for an invoice-api.xhub.io account, paste the API key into the plugin settings, pick a country and format. When an order reaches the configured status, the plugin POSTs the order data to our API, gets back a compliant invoice file, stores it on the order, and attaches it to the customer email. The whole setup takes about ten minutes.

Production-ready

HPOS-compatible, Action Scheduler for async generation, atomic invoice numbering via a custom DB table, GDPR hooks for data privacy requests, credit-note generation on refunds, and WC-native settings under WooCommerce → Settings → Integrations — right next to Stripe and PayPal.

WooCommerce — frequently asked

Do I need to write code?

Not for the standard case: install the plugin, enter the API key, pick the trigger. Custom invoice logic or extra fields need adjustments.

What happens with an invalid invoice?

Validation fails before dispatch and names the rule that was violated (e.g. BR-DE-01, missing Leitweg-ID). The order is untouched — fix the data and generate again.

Does every completed order count against my quota?

Yes, each generated invoice is one API call. Validation without generation does not count.
