Generate invoices for your sales

Every sale listed on the Sales page of your Bleam dashboard can produce a PDF invoice. It's useful in two cases:

- A buyer (often a professional) asks you for an invoice for their own bookkeeping.
- Your own bookkeeping: as a sole trader, every sale must be documented. The invoiced amount is the seller payout (the item price you actually receive), i.e. the revenue you declare.

The invoice automatically pulls the sale's information: item, sale date, amount and buyer. Nothing to re-type.

Before the first invoice, Bleam asks for your billing information, the details that appear in the header of every invoice. The form opens automatically the first time you generate (you can also reopen it later to edit).

- Name / Legal name: required (your name, or your business name).
- Address: required.
- SIRET / business number: optional, but recommended if you have one.
- Contact email: optional, shown under your address.
- Invoice number prefix: optional (e.g. 2026-), added in front of every invoice number.
- VAT franchise (French "franchise en base"): checked by default. It adds the legal notice "TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI" at the bottom of the invoice (the regime of the vast majority of private sellers and French micro-entrepreneurs).

Once saved, this information is reused for all your future invoices.

In the same billing information form, you can add a logo: it appears in the top-right corner of every invoice.

- Accepted formats: PNG or JPEG.
- File size: up to 15 MB. No need to compress it yourself, Bleam automatically resizes the image (PNG transparency is preserved).
- You can replace or remove it anytime; the change applies to the next generated invoices.

On the dashboard's Sales page:

1. Check the sale(s) to invoice (selection also works across several pages, and a button lets you select the whole current filter).
2. Click the "Generate invoices" button that appears in the selection bar.
3. The PDF is downloaded immediately: one page per invoice. If you selected several sales, all invoices are merged into a single PDF (factures.pdf).

The buyer's name is filled automatically: if the sale's shipping label was captured by Bleam, the invoice shows the buyer's real name (extracted from the label); otherwise, it shows their Vinted username followed by their country.

Once generated, the invoice of a specific sale can also be found in the sale's detail (click the row), in the "Documents" section, where its number and date stay visible ("Invoice #3 issued on 12/07/2026", for example).

Invoice numbering is automatic, continuous and final (a legal requirement):

- Each new invoice gets the next number in your sequence (1, 2, 3…), preceded by your optional prefix.
- An assigned number never changes: if you re-download the invoice of an already-invoiced sale, you get exactly the same number (the PDF is regenerated identically; the number is frozen).
- There are no gaps in the sequence and renumbering is impossible.

The invoice itself is not stored on our servers: only the number is kept, and the PDF is rebuilt on demand from the sale's data.
