1. Go to **Plugins → Add New**

3. Activate Invoicepress

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin require WooCommerce? =  
No. Invoicepress can work entirely without WooCommerce for custom invoice creation.

= What if WooCommerce is installed? =  
Invoicepress will automatically integrate and add a "Download Invoice" button to customer account pages. It can link invoices to WooCommerce orders.

= Is the PDF layout customizable? =  
Yes. You can override the invoice HTML template, adjust currency, add logos, and change styles.

= Where are invoices stored? =  
In the `uploads/invoicepress/` directory. You can auto-clean these based on age and type.

= Can I show a public invoice form to visitors? =  
Yes! Use the `[INVOICEPRESS-FORM]` shortcode on any post/page. It works even for non-logged-in users and does not save data to the database.

= Are the invoices GDPR-compliant? =  
Yes. No personal data is stored unless you explicitly save it using admin tools.
