The Dealers Site generates professional PDF invoices for every WooCommerce order using the WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips plugin, with custom extensions added by the Suma Elementor theme.

Custom Extensions​

The theme's WooCommerce\Invoice class (inc/class-woocommerce-invoice.php) hooks into the plugin to add dealer-specific content:

Metal Purity​

For each line item on the invoice, the purity of the precious metal product is displayed:

Purity: .999 Fine Silver

Source: _bullet_metal_description product meta field.

Custom Bullet Descriptions​

Products can have multi-line custom descriptions stored in _invoice_description product meta. These appear beneath each line item on the PDF invoice.

Example:

• Struck at Scottsdale Mint
• .999 Fine Silver
• 1 Troy Ounce
