Step 3: Select a Transaction and View Details

After clicking on the desired transaction, you’ll be taken to the transaction details page. Here you can view all the information related to the transaction, such as the buyer, amount, date, and more. To generate a PDF invoice, you can use the “Print” option or manually save the details as a PDF.

Step 4: Generating the PDF Invoice Manually

After you click on the "Print" option, a menu will appear allowing you to choose "Save as PDF." Once saved, you will have a PDF copy of the transaction. This method works great for individual transactions, but it can be time-consuming if you need to generate invoices for many transactions at once.
