WPInvoicing retrieves old pending invoices when user buys new item

Hi Patrik,

Sorry to be revisiting this issue after some time. I haven’t resolved it yet.

I think this is probably intended behaviour of the plugin. I have an item setup which a user can purchase. When they click to buy the item, the plugin creates an invoice. If they click away without purchasing the item the plugin saves that invoice to draft. Later on if the same user clicks to buy the item again, the plugin retrieves the drafted invoice rather than creating a new one. This means that any updates made to the item in the intervening time are not there (e.g. item title, price, etc.)

Is there a way to delete the invoice when a user clicks away, rather than saving it as a draft? That way the next time the user clicks to buy the item the plugin would create a new invoice.

Hope that’s clear,
Alex

Hi Paulo,

Is there another solution to this issue? It is causing quite a problem on my site and also seems like a general problem. E.g. the plugin might retrieve a draft invoice from months ago when the item price might have been very different!

Hi Paulo,

This seems odd. Is it possible that by ‘cleaning up’ the pending invoices you might mistakenly delete the invoice of someone in the middle of a transaction?
