 * Hi,
    First of all i want to say the plugin is fantastic. I have one question.
   i see in the free version that the invoice number is generated when i click to
   print invoice pdf. Is there a way to have a genertate invoice number? for some
   orders i do not want to give invoice numbers. Thanks!

 * Hi!
    Unfortunately it’s not possible to create an invoice without creating an
   invoice number. So the only way around this is to create the invoice, then delete
   the invoice number (in the order details you can remove the invoice number) and
   restore the ‘Next invoice number’ setting in the Template settings.
 * Hope that helps!

 * Hi,
    Thank for your reply. I have another question: 1. If i refund an order, 
   how can i make the invoice to show that is refunded? On refunded orders nothing
   is showing on the invoice, no modifications 2. Is there a possibility to show
   the Invoice number on the Orders page?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi!
    In most countries it’s not allowed to modify invoices, you need a credit
   note/credit invoice to account for the refund. This a feature of the [professional extension](https://wpovernight.com/downloads/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips-professional/).
 * There’s an option on the General settings tab to show the invoice number on the
   orders page.

 * Hi! In the Pro tab, you need to enable the proforma, then the button will be 
   shown on the orders page. There’s also a button on the My Account page, but it
   will only be shown if there is no final invoice yet.
