For customers (storefront)
After an order is placed, you can generate a PDF invoice using something like pdfkit or puppeteer (whichever you vibe with).
Save the file somewhere (local, S3, etc.) and store the URL in the order's metadata.
Then expose a custom route like /store/orders/:id/invoice that checks if the logged-in user owns the order and sends them the PDF.
On the frontend, just show a little “Download Invoice” button on the order details page
For admins (admin panel)
You can auto-generate the invoice when an order is completed, or let admins do it manually from the admin UI.
Add a custom API route like /admin/orders/:id/invoice to handle generation or retrieval.
If you’re using the new admin (Next.js), you can add a custom card or section to the order view showing invoice info + download link.
