The Best Free Invoice Generator for Shopify B2B — and What Shopify Now Handles for Free

"Best free invoice generator for Shopify B2B" is a search that's actually asking two different questions, and most results answer only one of them. The first question is about commerce: can my wholesale customers get proper payment terms — net 30, net 60 — instead of paying up front like a retail shopper? The second is about paperwork: can I generate an actual PDF invoice document, branded and formatted, for a customer's records or my own. Shopify itself now answers the first question for free, on every plan, as of an April 2026 update — which changes what you actually need to go shopping for.

What Shopify Now Does Natively, Free, on Every Plan

Until recently, native B2B functionality — company accounts, wholesale price catalogs, and net payment terms — was a Shopify Plus feature, which put it out of reach for most small and mid-sized stores without paying for an app to fake it. That changed: Shopify's own documentation confirms companies, catalogs, net payment terms, self-serve ordering, and Shopify Flow automation for B2B are now available on every paid plan — Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus. Specifically, payment terms now include Net 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, or due on fulfillment, set per company location, with the terms visible to the B2B customer on every order they place. The main thing still gated to Plus is unlimited catalogs — non-Plus plans are capped at three active B2B catalogs, along with a few deeper features like deposit requirements and partial payments. For a lot of small wholesale operations, three catalogs and native net terms is plenty, and it's free.

What Native B2B Still Doesn't Give You

None of this generates the thing most people actually picture when they say "invoice" — a formatted, downloadable or printable PDF document with your branding, itemised line items, and payment terms laid out the way a business's accounts payable team expects to receive it. Shopify's B2B checkout handles the commerce side (the order exists, the payment terms apply, the amount is due on the agreed date) but not the document side. If a wholesale customer's finance team needs an actual invoice file to process and pay, or if you're selling into the EU where VAT invoices carry legal formatting and sequential-numbering requirements, that's still a separate tool's job.

The Actual Free PDF Invoice Apps

• Order Printer — Shopify's own free, official app. It generates PDF invoices, packing slips, and other order documents directly from your admin, with customisable templates. For most stores, this is the correct starting point precisely because it's free and Shopify-maintained rather than a third party you're trusting with order data.
• Vify Order Printer PDF Invoice — a free plan is available, and it specifically supports commercial invoice templates suited to wholesale and B2B selling, which makes it worth checking if Order Printer's templates feel too retail-oriented for your wholesale paperwork.
• Order Printer Pro — also has a free tier, with broad document type support (invoices, packing slips, quotes) and more layout control than the native app, if template customisation is the deciding factor.
• Invoice Falcon — free tier covers automatically generating a PDF invoice per order and emailing it to the customer, which is the detail worth checking for if you want invoices to land in a wholesale customer's inbox without anyone manually sending them.

Where the free tier of any of these starts to feel thin — usually around invoice volume, template limits, or automation — Sufio is the paid step-up worth knowing about. It's positioned specifically around legal compliance and international tax requirements, and it's the option Shopify itself points B2B stores toward when VAT-compliant, sequentially numbered invoicing genuinely matters rather than being a nice-to-have.

How to Actually Choose

If you just need clean, branded invoices and packing slips for domestic B2B orders, start with Order Printer — it's free, official, and enough for most stores. If your wholesale paperwork needs a genuinely commercial-invoice format or automatic emailing to customers, Vify or Invoice Falcon's free tiers are worth trying before paying for anything. Only reach for Sufio once compliance — EU VAT, sequential legal numbering, multi-jurisdiction tax rules — is a real requirement, not a hypothetical one.

Getting Help

The right setup here is usually cheaper than it looks: native B2B payment terms for the commerce side, a free document app for the paperwork side, and a paid compliance tool only if your actual selling footprint requires it. Our Shopify Integrations service can get B2B, payment terms, and invoicing wired up properly — and if invoicing needs to reconcile against your books, our guide to Shopify and Xero integration covers that side once the invoices themselves are sorted.
