Which one fits

Avada suits a Shopify merchant who wants a free entry point and compliance built in: VAT and GST invoices, e-invoice formats including Peppol BIS 3.0, ZUGFeRD and XRechnung, and a Wholesale plan with B2B company management and net terms.

Printout Designer wins on layout freedom and the warehouse. Templates are laid out by dragging fields anywhere instead of choosing from fixed types, packing slips and labels print themselves through PrintNode when an order reaches a status you choose, paid plans start lower, and it works on BigCommerce, Ecwid and WooCommerce too. Printout Designer produces PDF documents only, with no e-invoice XML.
