Overview
Challan is WebAppick’s PDF invoice plugin for WooCommerce, listed on WordPress.org as PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce – Challan. It turns each order into a PDF invoice and can attach that file to the WooCommerce emails sent for the order statuses you pick. The free plugin is noticeably generous on the fulfilment side: packing slips, shipping labels and delivery address labels are all included without paying.
How it works
After you enter your seller details and logo, invoices are generated automatically when orders are placed or change status. Admins can open or print documents from the order screen, and a bulk download tool exports invoices filtered by date and status as a ZIP or a merged PDF. Customers can download their invoice from My Account > Orders. Invoice numbers take a prefix, suffix, starting number and padding, paper sizes run from A3 to Letter, and tax rows break down VAT, GST or custom taxes. Packing slips can hide prices, which suits dropshipping.
Free vs Pro
Challan Pro costs $69 a year for one site, $129 for five or $179 for ten. It adds 10+ extra templates, credit notes for refunds, proforma invoices, custom fields and product images, digital signatures and stamps, barcodes/QR codes, automatic Dropbox backup, full WooCommerce Subscriptions support and invoices in the customer’s order language with WPML, Polylang or Weglot. Pro also covers two regional formats: India’s GST invoice layout (GSTIN, HSN/SAC, CGST/SGST/IGST) and Saudi Arabia’s ZATCA e-invoicing with QR codes.
- Strengths: shipping labels and bulk ZIP/merged downloads are free, the plugin is actively updated, and HPOS support was added in 2023.
- Limitations: no Google Drive or accounting-software connectors, no UBL/Peppol/XRechnung output, and order-language invoices need Pro. The WordPress.org user base (7,000+ active installs) is far smaller than the category leaders.
Pick Challan if you want invoices plus packing slips and labels from one free plugin, or if you sell in India or Saudi Arabia and need GST or ZATCA layouts. EU stores that must send structured e-invoices should look at a plugin with UBL or ZUGFeRD support instead.
Best for: Stores that want invoices, packing slips and shipping labels from one free plugin, especially sellers needing GST or ZATCA layouts.
Challan gives away more fulfilment documents than most free invoice plugins, and its Pro tier is reasonably priced. It is weaker on EU e-invoicing and accounting integrations, so European B2B sellers may outgrow it.

How many sites use Challan – PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce?
Free installs from WordPress.org, the vendor's own claim, and our estimate of paid installs.
Free version (WordPress.org)
7K+
Active installations reported by WordPress.org.
Vendor claim

Sites/users claimed on the vendor's website. source
Estimated Pro / paid installs
~870
Our estimate, see method below.
How we estimated this: WordPress.org shows 7K+ free installs, which could mean anything from 7K to 8K. The vendor says 7K+ sites, so we put the free count halfway between the middle of that range and the vendor figure, at about 7.3K. About 7.3K free installs x 12% (the usual share of free sites that also run the paid version when some key features are paid, and store owners upgrade more often) gives 870. Likely range: 440 to 1.7K. This counts sites running the paid version, including sites whose licence has lapsed. Estimates are rough and based on public figures as of 14 Oct 2026.
