# Invoice System Implementation - Complete Guide ## Overview Implemented automatic invoice generation on successful payment and complete client invoice management system. ## What Was Implemented ### 1. **Automatic Invoice Generation on Payment Success** ✅ **Location**: `app/Http/Controllers/PaymentController.php` **Functionality**: - Automatically creates invoice when payment is successful - Uses existing `InvoiceService` to generate invoice from booking - Includes all booking items (venues, spots, services, packages) - Marks invoice as paid immediately - Handles errors gracefully (doesn't fail payment if invoice creation fails) **Code**: ```php // Create invoice for the booking try { $invoiceService = app(\App\Services\InvoiceService::class); $invoice = $invoiceService->createFromBooking($booking, [ 'invoice_type' => 'final', 'status' => 'issued', 'payment_status' => 'paid', 'date' => now(), 'due_date' => now(), ]); // Mark invoice as paid $invoice->markAsPaid(); Log::info('Invoice created for booking', [ 'booking_id' => $booking->id, 'invoice_id' => $invoice->id, 'invoice_number' => $invoice->invoice_number, ]); } catch (\Exception $e) { Log::error('Failed to create invoice', [ 'booking_id' => $booking->id, 'error' => $e->getMessage(), ]); // Don't fail the payment if invoice creation fails } ``` ### 2. **Invoice Routes** ✅ **Location**: `routes/web.php` **Routes Added**: ```php // Invoices Route::get('/invoices', [ClientController::class, 'invoices'])->name('invoices'); Route::get('/invoices/{invoice}', [ClientController::class, 'showInvoice'])->name('invoices.show'); Route::get('/invoices/{invoice}/download', [ClientController::class, 'downloadInvoice'])->name('invoices.download'); ``` **Route Names**: - `client.invoices` - List all invoices - `client.invoices.show` - View invoice details - `client.invoices.download` - Download invoice PDF ### 3. **Client Controller Invoice Methods** ✅ **Location**: `app/Http/Controllers/ClientController.php` **Methods Added**: #### `invoices(Request $request)` - Lists all user's invoices with pagination - Filters by status (paid, unpaid, partially_paid, cancelled) - Filters by date range (from/to) - Shows statistics (total, paid, unpaid, total amount) - Eager loads relationships (booking, venue, client) #### `showInvoice(Invoice $invoice)` - Shows detailed invoice view - Authorization check (user must own the invoice) - Loads all invoice items #### `downloadInvoice(Invoice $invoice)` - Generates PDF invoice - Authorization check - Uses DomPDF to create professional PDF - Downloads with filename: `invoice-{invoice_number}.pdf` ### 4. **Invoice Listing View** ✅ **Location**: `resources/views/web/client/invoices.blade.php` **Features**: - Professional glassmorphism design - Statistics cards (Total, Paid, Unpaid, Total Amount) - Advanced filters (Status, Date Range) - Responsive data table - Dual currency display (EUR/BGN) - Status badges (color-coded) - Action buttons (View, Download PDF) - Empty state for no invoices - Pagination support **Statistics Displayed**: - Total Invoices - Paid Invoices - Unpaid Invoices - Total Amount (in EUR) **Table Columns**: - Invoice Number - Date - Booking (with venue name) - Amount (dual currency) - Status (badge) - Actions (View, Download) ### 5. **Invoice PDF Template** ✅ **Location**: `resources/views/web/client/invoice-pdf.blade.php` **Features**: - Professional PDF-compatible design - ZapaziMe branding - Invoice header with logo and company info - Invoice details (number, date, due date, status) - Bill To section (customer information) - Booking information (if applicable) - Detailed items table with: - Description - Quantity - Unit Price (dual currency) - Total (dual currency) - Comprehensive totals section: - Subtotal - Tax - Service Fee - Discount - **TOTAL** (highlighted) - Paid Amount - Balance Due - Notes section - Professional footer with generation timestamp **PDF Styling**: - DejaVu Sans font (PDF-compatible) - Professional color scheme (#4361ee blue) - Clean, printable layout - Dual currency throughout (EUR/BGN) - Status badges (color-coded) ### 6. **Receipt PDF Template** ✅ **Location**: `resources/views/web/client/receipt-pdf.blade.php` **Features**: - Similar to invoice but simpler - Transaction-focused (not booking-focused) - Payment receipt format - Dual currency display - Professional design ## Invoice Service (Already Existed) **Location**: `app/Services/InvoiceService.php` **Key Methods**: - `createFromBooking()` - Creates invoice from booking with all items - `addVenueObjectsToInvoice()` - Adds accommodations - `addVenueSpotsToInvoice()` - Adds spots - `addServicesToInvoice()` - Adds services - `addPackagesToInvoice()` - Adds packages - `addProductToInvoice()` - Adds additional products - `addCustomFee()` - Adds custom fees - `addDiscount()` - Adds discounts - `recalculateTotals()` - Recalculates all totals ## Invoice Model (Already Existed) **Location**: `app/Models/Invoice.php` **Key Features**: - Automatic invoice number generation - UUID generation - Relationships: booking, client, company, workspace, currency, invoiceItems - Scopes: paid, unpaid, partiallyPaid, overdue - Helper methods: isPaid(), markAsPaid(), addPayment(), cancel() - Totals calculation from items ## Database Structure **Table**: `invoices` **Key Fields**: - `invoice_number` - Auto-generated (INV-YYYYMMDD-XXXXXX) - `uuid` - Unique identifier - `booking_id` - Links to booking - `client_id` - Links to client - `company_id`, `workspace_id` - Multi-tenancy - `invoice_type` - final, proforma, credit_note - `status` - pending, issued, cancelled - `payment_status` - paid, unpaid, partially_paid - `date`, `due_date`, `paid_at` - `subtotal`, `tax_amount`, `service_fee`, `discount_amount`, `total`, `paid` - `name`, `phone`, `address` - Customer info snapshot - `notes` - Additional notes **Table**: `invoices_items` **Key Fields**: - `invoice_id` - Links to invoice - `itemable_type`, `itemable_id` - Polymorphic relation - `category` - accommodation, spot, service, package, product, fee, tax, discount - `item` - Item name - `description` - Item description - `qty` - Quantity - `unit_price`, `price`, `total` - Pricing - `tax_rate`, `tax_amount` - Tax information - `start_date`, `end_date` - For date-based items ## Integration Flow ### Payment Success Flow: 1.
