Understanding the Invoices Section in Order Tiger
The Invoices section in the Order Tiger Dashboard is directly linked to the Usage Plans and Service Plans you’ve configured for your merchants (restaurants/locations). This is where you can:
-
View all invoices generated from your plans
-
Download or print invoice details

Manually update the invoice status after completing payments via Stripe
This section is used by Marketplace Owners to manage, track, and process payments due to their merchants.
