With the Fakturoid app, you can insert a direct link to the generated invoice into any Shopify email notification — for example, the order confirmation sent automatically after a customer places an order.
Here's how your email could look:

Step 1: Copy the invoice link code
Copy the following code snippet:
<!-- Invoice Fakturoid Code START -->
{% assign ver_string = order.id | append: shop.permanent_domain %}{% assign hmac_verification = ver_string | hmac_sha256: shop.metafields.ds_fakturoid.display_invoice %}
<a href="https://fakturoid.digismoothie.app/dashboard/display-invoice?id={{order.id}}&shop={{shop.permanent_domain}}&hmac_verification={{hmac_verification}}" class="Polaris-Button Polaris-Button--pressable Polaris-Button--variantPlain Polaris-Button--sizeMedium Polaris-Button--textAlignCenter">View Invoice</a>
<!-- Invoice Fakturoid Code END -->
Step 2: Open the email editor in Shopify
Go to your Shopify Settings → Notifications
Click on Customer notifications
Select the Order confirmation email (or any other notification you'd like to update)
Click Edit code
Step 3: Insert the code into the email body
Paste the code from Step 1 into the email body at the position where you want the invoice link to appear.
⚠️ Please note: Email template editing requires some familiarity with HTML/Liquid. If you're unsure, we're happy to help!
Troubleshooting: 401 Unauthorized error
In some cases, clicking the invoice link right after the order is placed may result in a 401 Unauthorized error. This is caused by email caching on Shopify's side. Simply wait 3 hours and try again — the link should work correctly by then.
Alternative Solution: Automatically Send the Invoice Link and PDF Attachment
If you'd prefer a fully automated approach, you can set up the Fakturoid app to automatically send customers a dedicated email that includes both the invoice link and the invoice as a PDF attachment.
This is especially useful if you want to make sure customers always have easy access to their invoice without modifying Shopify's default email templates.
