Create a buyer's invoice and send it through Amazon

A tax invoice (or a plain invoice when you're not registered) drawn from the order in seconds, in English and Arabic, and sent to the buyer through Amazon without leaving Bookalyze.

What it is

A PDF for the buyer, made from the order: your company's details, the items, shipping, discounts and the total. It doesn't post to your books; the settlement already records the sale.

Your companyThe PDF says
Has an active sales-tax registration in its own country, with a numberTax invoice (فاتورة ضريبية), with your TRN or GST number
Isn't registeredInvoice (فاتورة) and "Not registered for VAT" (or GST/HST); tax Amazon reported is shown as Amazon's

Arabic names, addresses and titles read correctly inside English lines. The invoice notes that Amazon already collected the payment, and any refund on the order.

Create it

Where in the app: Commerce → Orders → an order → Create invoice (owners and admins)

  1. 1

    Check the buyer

    With the Tax Invoicing role, Bookalyze asks Amazon for the buyer's name, company and tax number. Their email is never kept. Type the street address if the invoice needs one.

  2. 2

    Save

    The first invoice is INV-0001; each one after takes the next number.

  3. 3

    Send to Amazon

    Uploads the PDF and sends it to the buyer through Amazon's messaging. The order shows when it was sent and by whom.

Tip: Without the Tax Invoicing role the form still works: type the buyer's details yourself. Sending needs the Buyer Communication role.

Correct it

Correct details replaces the PDF and keeps the number. Each order has one invoice. Download gives you the file, for Seller Central or email.

Before your first invoice

  • Your company's registered address (Entity & compliance → Profile).
  • Your sales-tax registration, if you have one (Accounting → Sales tax).
  • Optional: your logo and letterhead (Entity & compliance → Brand).

What you should see

What you should see

  • The order shows the invoice number and a Download button
  • After sending, the order says Sent with the date
  • A buyer's open invoice request closes when you send

Not yet

  • Sending through Walmart, Noon or eBay (download the PDF and send it there).
  • Invoices that post to the books, for sales outside marketplaces.
  • Invoice requests: buyers asking for an invoice

    Amazon sends buyers' invoice requests to your email, not to any API. Forward them to your company's own address and each one appears on its order, waiting for you.
