# 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.

Category: Invoices · Web page: https://bookalyze.com/guides/buyer-invoices

## 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 company | The PDF says |
| --- | --- |
| Has an active sales-tax registration in its own country, with a number | **Tax invoice** (فاتورة ضريبية), with your TRN or GST number |
| Isn't registered | **Invoice** (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 Bookalyze:** Commerce → Orders → an order → Create invoice (owners and admins)

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