# How to add order amounts and tags on invoices

The **Order details** sub-section in the Visual Editor lets you display additional order-level information on your invoice — specifically the order amount and order tags. These fields appear in the invoice header area alongside other order identification details. Toggle them on or off with a checkbox, and the live preview updates instantly.

### Open the Order details settings

1. Open the **Invoice Falcon** app from your Shopify Admin.
2. Click **Templates** in the left navigation menu.
3. Click on the template you want to customize (or click **Edit** on the template row).
4. Scroll to the **Visual editor** section and click the **Open visual editor** button.
5. In the left panel, click the **Order information** section to expand it.
6. Scroll past the **Order identification** and **Order dates** sub-sections to find the **Order details** sub-section.

### Order amount

The **Order amount** checkbox controls whether the order total is displayed in the invoice header area.

* When enabled, the invoice shows the total amount with the currency symbol (e.g., **Amount: $150.00**).
* This is separate from the detailed totals breakdown (subtotal, tax, shipping, total) shown at the bottom of the invoice. The order amount in the header gives the customer a quick summary at the top of the document.
* **On by default** on new templates.

###### Enable or disable order amount

1. In the **Order details** sub-section, check or uncheck the **Order amount** checkbox.
2. Review the live preview on the right — the amount appears in the order details area near the top of the invoice.
3. Click **Save changes** at the top of the Visual Editor.

### Order tags

The **Order tags** checkbox controls whether Shopify order tags are displayed on the invoice.

* When enabled, the invoice shows all tags assigned to the order as a comma-separated list (e.g., **Tags: Manual, authorize_net, Cash on Delivery**).
* Order tags come directly from the tags set on the order in Shopify Admin. If the order has no tags, nothing is displayed even when the checkbox is enabled.
* Useful for internal classification, accounting workflows, or showing order categorization (e.g., "wholesale", "priority", "tax-exempt") on the printed invoice.
* **Off by default** on new templates.

###### Enable or disable order tags

1. In the **Order details** sub-section, check or uncheck the **Order tags** checkbox.
2. Review the live preview on the right — tags appear as a comma-separated list in the order details area.
3. Click **Save changes** at the top of the Visual Editor.

| **Tip:** If you use order tags for internal purposes only (e.g., warehouse routing, fulfillment priority), you may want to leave this off to keep the customer-facing invoice clean. Enable it when tags carry information useful to the customer.

### Known limitations

* **Order tags are read-only** — Invoice Falcon displays the tags that exist on the Shopify order. You cannot add or edit tags from within Invoice Falcon.
* **Tags display as a comma-separated string** — from the Visual Editor, tags are shown as a flat text string (e.g., "Manual, authorize_net"). To display tags as individual badges or styled differently, edit the template code in the Code Editor using the `order_tags` array variable with a `{% for tag in order_tags %}` loop.
* **Order amount uses the order currency** — the amount is displayed in the currency the order was placed in, using the currency symbol. You cannot override the currency display from the Visual Editor.
* **No tag filtering** — all tags on the order are shown. You cannot selectively hide specific tags from the Visual Editor. To filter tags, use conditional logic in the Code Editor.
* **Settings are per-template** — order details settings are saved independently for each template. Changes on one template do not affect others.
* **Previously generated PDFs are not affected** — changes only apply to invoices generated after saving.

### Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
| ---- |
| Order amount shows $0.00 | The order has a zero total (e.g., a free order or full discount) | This is correct behavior. The amount reflects the actual order total |
| Order tags checkbox is enabled but no tags appear | The Shopify order has no tags assigned | Add tags to the order in Shopify Admin (**Orders** → select order → **Tags** field), then regenerate the invoice |
| Tags show internal codes instead of readable labels | The order tags in Shopify contain system-generated values | Edit the tags in Shopify Admin to use human-readable labels if you want them on customer-facing invoices |
| Changes not showing on the invoice | Changes were not saved | Click **Save changes** in the Visual Editor after toggling the checkboxes |

### FAQs

**Q: Is the order amount the same as the total shown at the bottom of the invoice?**
A: Yes, it displays the same grand total. The difference is placement — the order amount appears in the header area for a quick summary, while the detailed totals breakdown (subtotal, tax, shipping, total) appears at the bottom.

**Q: Can I show order tags as individual styled badges instead of a comma-separated list?**
A: Not from the Visual Editor. The default display is a comma-separated string. To style tags individually, use the Code Editor with the `order_tags` array variable and a `{% for tag in order_tags %}` loop.

**Q: Where do I add or edit order tags in Shopify?**
A: In Shopify Admin, go to **Orders** → select an order → find the **Tags** field in the order details. Add or remove tags there.

**Q: Can I hide specific tags from appearing on the invoice?**
A: Not from the Visual Editor — all tags are shown. To filter out specific tags, use conditional logic in the Code Editor (e.g., `{% unless tag == "internal" %}{{ tag }}{% endunless %}`).
