Security History
What It Does
This plugin generates PDF invoices, packing slips, shipping labels, and credit notes for WooCommerce orders, with options to automatically attach them to order confirmation emails. It supports multilingual layouts and multi-currency stores, letting shop owners customize the look and content of each document type. In practice, a small store can install it, pick a template, and start sending branded invoices to customers without touching code.
Who It's For
This plugin is a practical fit for small to mid-size WooCommerce stores that need professional-looking PDF invoices and packing slips without hiring a developer. It works well for international sellers thanks to multi-currency and multilingual support, and for operations like subscription box, dropshipping, or B2B wholesale where packing slips or credit notes are part of the daily workflow.
Who Should Skip It
Stores that only need a basic invoice emailed to the customer will find lighter free alternatives with larger install bases, such as WebToffee's plugin at 50,000 installs. Large fulfillment operations with very high order volume or strict compliance needs should evaluate enterprise-grade solutions rather than a 4,000-install plugin.
The Bottom Line
Challan scores 77.13 out of 100, with strong marks for maintenance and ratings but clear concerns around its modest install base and zero-resolved support threads. It is a reasonable pick for a small WooCommerce shop that needs invoices and packing slips and is comfortable with a less mainstream plugin. If you need proven scale, faster support, or a larger community, WebToffee or the Tyche Print Invoice plugin is the safer default.
