Smartbill is the most used invoicing and management software in Romania. With this application you can manage everything related to the issuance, delivery, collection of invoices online and sending via e-Invoice. In your CloudCart store, you have a built-in invoicing module, but with the Smartbill app, you have another option that you can take advantage of if you want.

Activation

1. First, you need to create an account at https://www.smartbill.ro/. You have a 30-day trial period to test the service. 

2. To install the app, go to the admin panel of your store, App section > Smartbill and install it. 

This app requires payment on an annual basis.

If the option is disabled you should create invoices manually under the order's detailed page. To be able to generate an invoice successfully, it is mandatory that the products in the order have a SKU or barcode. When automatic generation is active, another option appeared.
  • Create documents only if the customer has entered billing information - this option is active if the previous one is on. Here you must choose in which cases the system should issue invoices - only when the customer has entered billing information or always, regardless of whether this information is available. 
  • Generate a document in SmartBill on order status - here you can choose when the invoices should be created, depending on the order's status

More info about Order Statuses could be find here.

Marking an invoice in SmartBill 

Once the order is marked as 'paid' you should go to your account in SmartBill -> Documents issued, open the desired invoice and mark it as 'collected'. It means that you have received payment for this invoice.

Fill in the information here and hit the 'collects' button.

When you marked the invoice as 'paid' in SmartBill a green bar appears - 'Received'. It means that the payment for this invoice has been marked as 'received'.


We advise you to test the functionality in your store to see if everything works smoothly.
