## How Invoice Generation Works

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="One-Time Purchases">
    When a customer completes a one-time purchase:

    1. Payment is processed successfully
    2. Invoice is automatically generated with transaction details
    3. Invoice is emailed to both customer and merchant
    4. Invoice appears in your dashboard **Invoices** section

    All one-time purchase invoices include product details, pricing, and payment confirmation.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Subscription Renewals">
    For recurring subscription payments:

    1. Subscription renewal payment is processed automatically
    2. Invoice is generated for the billing period
    3. Invoice is emailed to customer with subscription details
    4. Invoice is stored in your dashboard for records

    Subscription invoices include the billing period, subscription plan details, and next renewal date.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
