EU VAT and B2B fields
Docket provides common VAT and B2B fields in its invoice and credit-note templates. Configure the seller identity and VAT settings your business requires before relying on the documents for accounting. Docket does not certify country-specific legal compliance.
VAT fields
The invoice template can show the seller VAT number, the customer’s VAT number when present on the configured order attribute, tax rates and amounts broken out per rate, and net, tax, and gross totals. Credit notes show seller and customer VAT data, the refunded tax total, and the Shopify order they credit. Refund data does not currently preserve a per-rate breakdown on the credit note.
B2B fields
Docket prints the company name and billing address captured on the Shopify order. It reads the customer VAT number from the configurable order attribute described above; it does not currently read a VAT number directly from Shopify Companies. When those values are present on the order, Docket puts them in the billing block.
English labels and per-order formatting
Docket-authored document labels and explanatory text are English in v1. Currency and number formatting follows each order’s locale and currency. Separators, symbol position, and decimal places need no country-by-country setup. Quote validity dates are locale-formatted, but the issue date in a document header currently uses the captured Shopify timestamp. Merchant and customer data remains as supplied, including non-Latin names, addresses, company details, line items, and SKUs.
Custom numbering
Invoices and credit notes can use sequential document numbers. Configure a prefix, starting number, and padding for each type. Leave those settings blank to use the Shopify order reference instead. When enabled, each sequence is allocated without skipped or repeated numbers.
Configured document numbers are assigned at generation and preserved across versions. While Docket remains installed, reopening or regenerating the document does not renumber the original sequence entry.
Rounding
Invoices and quotes reconcile captured per-line tax amounts to Shopify’s stored tax total in currency minor units. Credit notes reconcile refunded line values, tax, shipping, and adjustments to Shopify’s total refunded amount. The rendered PDF is then stored rather than recalculated when reopened.
Why the immutable version matters for compliance
An invoice that re-renders from live data shows today’s prices on January’s invoice. For an EU merchant that is an audit problem, not a cosmetic one. Every Docket document fetches Shopify data at document time and stores the rendered PDF and HTML. What you show an auditor is what the customer got. See Where your documents live.
What v1 does not do
Docket does not file taxes, provide e-invoicing, certify legal compliance, or integrate with an accounting system in v1. Export is the PDF and hosted link.
