Time needed: About 5–10 minutes

What you'll accomplish

Your invoices, credit notes, and packing slips will match your brand (logo, colors, company details) and you can choose different templates per document type.

Where to find template settings

All template and branding settings are in one place:

  1. Go to PDF Invoices → Invoice Settings in your WordPress sidebar

This page has four sections:

  • Templates — Choose templates per document type
  • Live preview — See changes in real-time
  • Company logo & colors — Upload logo and set brand colors
  • Company details — Address, VAT, and other business information
Invoice settings page for customizing PDF templates

Choose templates per document type

Unlike the Setup Wizard (which sets one template for all documents), Invoice Settings lets you choose different templates for each document type.

  1. In the Templates section, find the three dropdown menus:
    • Invoice — Choose Default, Basic, or Modern
    • Packing slip — Choose Default, Basic, or Modern
    • Credit note — Choose Default, Basic, or Modern
  2. Select your preferred template for each document type
  3. The Live preview on the right updates automatically
  4. Click Save settings when done

Paper size

Below the template dropdowns, you can change the Paper size:

  • A4 — 210×297 mm (standard for Europe)
  • Letter — 8.5×11 inch (standard for US)

Add or change your logo

  1. In the Company logo & colors section, click Choose logo
  2. Select a logo from your WordPress Media Library or upload a new file

  • Recommended dimensions: 300-600 pixels wide

Configure brand colors

    • Primary color — Used for headers, accents, and lines
    • Text color — Used for body text and labels

  3. Choose your brand colors or enter a hex code
  4. Watch the Live preview update in real-time
