Automated Invoices

[MarkStrobel3367]

How can I automate my invoices after orders are placed by either having a link to the invoice from my website made available to my customers, having the invoice automatically emailed to them, or both? Right now, I manually create invoices per order. It would be much easier if invoices were somehow automated similar when one purchases a product from Amazon or other sites. Thanks.

That would require some server-side scripting, a database, validation, etc. I'm not sure if there are free invoice-type scripts that would behave the way you want them to, it would take some time to develop something like this.

They are not free and I haven't used them but from what I gather they are the two most popular for webhosts

WHMCS

AWBS

Those are some but there are more... The only one i can think of is phpCOIN off the top of my head, its free if your server uses cPanel and and fantasitco de lux then you'll beable to install it in a few clics and not have to worry about files

Thank you for your responses. As I read your responses, the more I think that I will need to hire someone to make this happen. Unfortunately, I am not a web designer. I am just an owner of a site and I have been trying to save some money by editing my site on my own.

Unfortunately, it's just the truth. Advanced web services take a fairly comprehensive education to know how to put together. Can sympathize with trying to keep down your costs - if you have any questions about other aspects of your site, we'd definitely be willing to offer help or advice!
