Creating a Commercial Invoice

A commercial invoice records the goods being shipped, their value, and the terms of the transaction. It helps with customs clearance, duty calculations, and keeping a clear record of the shipment.

Note: This feature is available for Gallery & Artist plans, and is turned off by default. If you'd like to enable Commercial Invoices on your account, please contact us.

Notes

  • Only users with Sales permissions, can create Commercial Invoices.

  • Creating a Commercial Invoice does not create or change a sale, payment, commission, or export to accounting.

  • If a non-sold artwork is added, the document still does not create a sale.

  • Void documents are locked and should be treated as cancelled shipping/customs paperwork.

  • Commercial Invoices use their own numbering format and stay separate from regular sales invoices.
