## How it works

Invoices are managed separately from payment processing. Drafts, issued invoices, credit notes and voided documents represent different accounting stages.

## Implementation

Configure seller and tax details first. Create a document manually or select the automatic invoice behavior for successful payments. Review and finalize a draft; correct an issued invoice with the supported credit-note or void process. Sending a document to the buyer does not collect its payment. Keep test documents distinct and preserve document numbers when exporting for accounting.
