Neutrope Japanese Invoice PDFs

Neutrope Japanese Invoice PDFs for WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin designed to generate Japanese-style business documents—specifically invoices, receipts, and delivery notes—in PDF format directly from WooCommerce order data. The tool addresses the challenges faced by businesses in Japan who rely on manual processes, such as creating documents in Excel or Word templates, which often leads to redundant work and difficulties in meeting the requirements of Japan’s invoice system (適格請求書制度). By streamlining document generation within the WordPress admin interface, it aims to help accounting and administrative staff efficiently manage required paperwork in accordance with Japanese business practices.

Key features include the ability to issue invoice PDFs from WooCommerce order screens with a single click, using templates aligned with Japanese commercial conventions. The plugin is planned to support templates that accommodate the mandatory fields for compliant invoices, such as registration numbers, tax breakdowns by rate, and both tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive displays. Users can also generate receipt PDFs for completed payments, specifying recipient names and notes, as well as prepare delivery note PDFs for shipments. The tool allows centralized management and replacement of issuer information—including company name, address, registration number, and seal images—through the WordPress admin panel. It is also structured to manage issuance history and facilitate re-issuance or output of document copies, associating each with the relevant WooCommerce order.

Neutrope Japanese Invoice PDFs is intended for small e-commerce operators handling their own accounting, web developers managing multiple WooCommerce sites, and digital product sellers who need to issue compliant documents for each order. The plugin requires a WordPress environment running WooCommerce and is positioned to serve businesses that need to align with Japanese invoice standards and practices.

The plugin is available in a free/basic version, which offers core features such as invoice and receipt PDF generation and issuer information management. More advanced features—including full compliance with the Japanese qualified invoice system, delivery note PDF generation, issuance history management, and accounting software integration—are planned for a forthcoming Pro version. The Pro edition is offered via annual plans: Personal (¥6,980/year for 1 site), Business (¥14,800/year for 5 sites), and Agency (¥29,800/year for 50 sites), all prices inclusive of tax.
