The Stripe invoice template you'll never need

A proper invoice for Stripe payments should include: your business name, address, and tax/VAT number; customer details (name, company, address); a sequential invoice number; line items with description, quantity, and price; tax/VAT breakdown; payment date; and total amount. Stripe receipts include none of this.

Yes, you can create invoices manually using a template for each Stripe payment. However, this requires copying payment details from Stripe, filling in the template, generating a PDF, and emailing it to your customer — for every single payment. At scale, this does not work.

Stripe Invoicing generates invoices with a standard Stripe template. It works well but adds 0.4% per invoice (capped at $2) on top of processing fees. You cannot customize the template design. Stripdo generates similar professional invoices for $39/year flat.

PDF is the standard format for invoices. It is universally readable, printable, and accepted by accountants and tax authorities worldwide. Stripdo generates PDF invoices with all required fields and emails them automatically.

Invoice requirements vary by country, especially around VAT. EU countries require VAT number, rate, and amount. Some countries require specific tax notations. Stripdo handles this automatically — including EU VAT reverse charge notation and export notation.

Invoices should use sequential, unique numbering (e.g., INV-001, INV-002). Numbers should never repeat and should not have gaps. Manual numbering across hundreds of payments is error-prone. Stripdo handles sequential numbering automatically.

With Stripdo Pro, yes. Your company logo appears on every invoice PDF alongside your business details. The Starter plan includes all other invoice features without the custom logo.
