Overview

With the PDF document module, you can upload invoices, credit memos, shipments and other documents directly from Business Central to Shopware.

The PDF document module extends the Shopware 6 API Connector with the option to upload sales documents as PDF files to your customers in Shopware. The documents are displayed in the Shopware customer portal, where they can be downloaded.

1. Prerequisites

1.1 Shopware plugin

To use this feature, the solutioo Invoice Documents plugin must be installed in your Shopware shop. This plugin provides the API endpoints as well as the customer portal view.

Without the Shopware plugin, the PDF upload from Business Central does not work!

1.2 Activation in Business Central

Before PDF documents can be used and transferred to Shopware, the PDF document module must first be activated in the configuration.
