The problem it solves

Every time an order comes in, someone has to build an invoice, save it somewhere safe, and remember to send it to the customer. Miss a step and you've got an unhappy customer or a messy set of accounting records.

Who it fits

An e-commerce business selling through Shopify that wants every order invoiced without manual work.

How it works

A new paid order comes in from your Shopify store
The system checks that the order has actually been paid
It builds a professional invoice with the order and customer details
It converts the invoice into a PDF
It saves the PDF to Google Drive and emails it to the customer

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
