Scope

What this is — and what it isn’t

Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce (WooTF) fills one job: Australian tax documents for a GST-registered WooCommerce store. Local PDFs are free; ABR companion is optional and paid. Everything else stays with your accountant, your tax settings, or another tool.

This is

  • Free local Dompdf tax invoices on paid orders (no site key)
  • Free local adjustment notes on refunds when one is required
  • Optional paid ABR companion / Worker features (one site per key)
  • Listed on wordpress.org as Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce

This isn’t

  • Endorsement, approval, or certification from the ATO — and we are not affiliated with the ATO
  • A BAS lodgement service
  • Xero, MYOB, or full accounting software
  • A packing-slip / credit-note PDF suite
  • A tax-exemption or “remove GST” plugin
  • Peppol e-invoicing

The documents

Tax invoice and adjustment note — not a generic credit note

Generic Woo PDF plugins treat ABN and GST as free text and sell “invoices”, packing slips, and credit notes. Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce is built around Australian tax invoice and adjustment note documents — the fields a bookkeeper actually looks for.

Original invoice INV-10482 · reason on the note · ± price and GST adjustment.

Helps produce documents that include the details in GST Act s 29-70 / s 29-75 — treated as a contents checklist, not an endorsement or compliance certificate. Sample only; Example Hardware Pty Ltd is a fictional merchant. When GST is exactly one-eleventh of the total, a tax invoice may state that the total price includes GST instead of a separate GST column. Mixed taxable and GST-free lines are shown separately. For sales of A$1,000 or more, recipient identity or ABN belongs on the document. An adjustment note is what a bookkeeper expects instead of a generic overseas “credit note”.

How it works

Install free, issue PDFs locally — unlock ABR when you need it

Listed on wordpress.org as Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce. Local Dompdf tax invoices and adjustment notes are free with no site key. ABR companion / Worker features need a paid site key.

  1. Install the plugin

    Preferred: install from wordpress.org/plugins/datalinc-gst-docs-for-woocommerce/. Alternate: download wootf.zip (free, GPL) and upload under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. WordPress shows it as Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce.

  2. Issue documents locally (free)

    Set legal name, ABN, and GST-registered status. Tax invoice PDFs on paid orders and adjustment notes when a refund needs one — rendered locally with Dompdf. No site key required for this path.

  3. Optional: unlock ABR companion

    Need live ABR ABN / GST status checks via our Worker? Get a paid site key at api.wootf.com/checkout (A$20.90/mo or A$163.90/yr incl. GST). One key unlocks one WooCommerce site.

  4. Paste the key only if you use ABR

    Enter the site key in Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce settings when you unlock ABR companion / Worker features. Cancel anytime — issued PDFs stay on your store.

Free path: local Dompdf PDFs, no site key. Paid path: ABR companion / Worker features via site key. Issued PDFs stay on the merchant’s WooCommerce site — we don’t host your order PDFs for generation.

Australian Business Register

Live ABN lookup — without claiming you own the number

With a paid site key, Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce can look up an ABN against the ABR (via our Worker) to confirm entity details and GST registration for the store (and for a buyer ABN when you collect one). Local PDF generation does not require this.

  • Store ABN Confirm the legal name and that the entity is GST-registered before you issue tax invoices.
  • Buyer ABN when collected Useful for B2B orders where the customer provides an ABN at checkout.
  • No ownership claim Looking up an ABN does not mean WooTF asserts that the merchant “owns” that ABN — it reports what the ABR returns.
  • GUID stays on the Worker ABR credentials remain on our Worker infrastructure. They are never shipped inside the WordPress plugin.

Who it’s for

GST-registered Australian WooCommerce stores

Built for

GST-registered Australian WooCommerce merchants who need tax invoices for customers — especially B2B buyers who ask for a proper tax invoice with ABN and GST broken out.

Not for

Sellers who are not GST-registered. If you are not registered for GST, you must not issue a document titled “Tax invoice”. WooTF is not a tax-exemption tool and will not make an unregistered sale look registered.

Where Datalinc GST Docs sits

Category examples only — features change, and this is not a review of any product.

Capability Datalinc GST Docs Generic PDF invoice plugins Xero / accounting Tax-filing SaaS
Tax invoice (not just “Invoice”) Yes — first-class Usually a generic invoice; ABN/GST as text fields (e.g. WP Overnight, WebToffee) Yes, in the ledger Not the focus
Adjustment note (not “Credit note”) Yes Credit notes common; AU adjustment note not the centre Credit notes / adjustments in books Not the focus
ABR ABN / GST status Live lookup Typically manual text Contact fields / integrations vary Varies
Packing slips No Often yes Not primary No
BAS lodgement No No Via accountant / software Often yes (e.g. Quaderno files returns — Datalinc GST Docs does the opposite)
Price Free local PDFs · ABR from A$20.90/mo or A$163.90/yr incl. GST Usually USD tiers; multi-site packs common Subscription accounting plans Filing / tax SaaS pricing

Kitgenix-style tools that only relabel document titles are a different job. RelyWP-style tax removers are for stores that should not charge GST — Datalinc GST Docs is for stores that do.

Works with

Your tax settings and your accountant stay in charge

  • WooCommerce tax You still set 10% GST in WooCommerce tax settings. Datalinc GST Docs issues documents from the orders you already tax — it does not replace tax configuration.
  • Your accountant Datalinc GST Docs does not replace your accountant. Optional: keep using Xero (or similar) for BAS and bookkeeping while the plugin handles customer-facing tax invoices on Woo.
  • B2B and ABNs Most Australian B2B sales are still taxable. An ABN on the order does not, by itself, make a sale GST-free.

FAQ

Straight answers

Does the ATO endorse or certify WooTF?

No. WooTF is not endorsed, approved, or certified by the ATO, and Datalinc is not affiliated with the ATO. It helps you produce documents that include the details set out in GST Act s 29-70 (and adjustment notes under s 29-75). That is general information only — not legal or tax advice. The merchant remains responsible for GST and BAS.

Does WooTF lodge my BAS?

No. WooTF is not a BAS lodgement service. Use your accountant or accounting software for BAS.

Credit note vs adjustment note — what’s the difference?

Many overseas PDF plugins issue a “credit note”. In Australian GST practice, the document that adjusts a tax invoice is an adjustment note (see GST Act s 29-75). WooTF issues adjustment notes that reference the original tax invoice and the GST movement — not a generic credit-note label.

Is it really one site per key?

Yes for the paid ABR companion / Worker features: each site key is for one WooCommerce site. Local Dompdf tax invoice PDFs do not require a site key. If you run more stores with ABR unlocked, you need a key per site.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel the paid ABR companion anytime. Local Dompdf PDFs stay free. PDFs already issued stay on your WooCommerce site.

What fields appear on the PDF?

Documents are organised around the contents expected for an Australian tax invoice: clear “Tax invoice” title, supplier legal name and ABN, issue date, line description, quantity and price, GST amounts, and totals. Adjustment notes reference the original invoice number, show GST movement, and record a reason where relevant. See the sample documents above.

I’m not GST-registered — can I use WooTF?

No. If you are not registered for GST, you must not issue a “Tax invoice”. Do not use WooTF for that purpose.

How do I install the plugin?

Preferred: install Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce from wordpress.org/plugins/datalinc-gst-docs-for-woocommerce/. Alternate: download the free GPL zip from wootf.com/wootf.zip and upload under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Local Dompdf tax invoice and adjustment note PDFs work with no site key. Optional: unlock ABR companion / Worker features with a paid site key from api.wootf.com/checkout — one key per WooCommerce site.

Is WooTF on wordpress.org?

Yes. It is listed as Datalinc GST Docs for WooCommerce at wordpress.org/plugins/datalinc-gst-docs-for-woocommerce/. You can also download the zip from wootf.com/wootf.zip. Local PDFs are free; ABR companion features need a paid site key.

Install free for one GST-registered store
