E-Invoice System
E-Invoice System Overview
The E-Invoice system in your dashboard simplifies the process of creating and sending invoices to your customers. It features two primary sections:
- Create Invoice: for generating and sending new invoices.
- Invoice History: for tracking, filtering, and managing existing invoices.
No API integration is required – all operations are managed directly within the Dashboard.

Tip for Merchants: Invoices are automatically linked with your transactions in EdfaPay. When the customer completes payment, the invoice status will automatically update in Invoice History.
Once an invoice is cancelled, it can no longer be opened, copied, or accessed through its public link. If anyone attempts to open a cancelled invoice in a browser, an error message will appear indicating that the invoice has been cancelled.
