The business
Bauerfeind Australia is the Australian store of the German brand Bauerfeind, which sells compression products and supports. The homepage says "Made in Germany since 1929", advertises a 30-day try-on guarantee and lists a Medical professionals section in its menu. A "Product selector" button sits beside the logo. The shop runs on Shopify Plus. It started with Avada PDF Invoice in 2023, and the app sent more than 20,000 documents for the store.
Invoicing in Australia
A foreign brand selling to Australians follows Australian rules. A GST-registered seller supplies a tax invoice within 28 days of a request on sales above $82.50, showing the words "tax invoice", the ABN, the date, a description of the goods and the GST amount. At $1,000 or more the buyer's name or ABN has to appear.
Registration is compulsory once annual turnover reaches $75,000. A credit for a returned item needs an adjustment note that traces to the original invoice, which matters when a try-on guarantee invites returns. Buyers split into two groups. Individuals want a clear receipt. Professionals, the audience behind the Medical professionals menu, want a quote before they order and a tax invoice after.
How Bauerfeind Australia uses the app
The account holds four templates. A quote is not a tax invoice, so the invoice follows once the sale completes. The invoice uses Venice Invoice in English and Australian dollars, with tax fields filled in so the ABN and the GST line appear. A quote template in the Professional Quote layout sits beside a refund and a packing slip. Electronic delivery is allowed for all of them, since the ATO accepts tax invoices as PDFs and expects both sides to keep records for five years.
Venice gives the supplier a column of its own. For a brand trading under an international name, that puts the local ABN where a buyer's accounts team will look for it.
The sample on this page is invented, down to the zeros in the ABN and a buyer who does not exist. Payment and shipping addresses appear side by side, so an order bought by one person and sent to another reads clearly. The lines are a knee support, an ankle support and two pairs of compression socks, each with a SKU that makes a size exchange easy to log. The subtotal is $319.00, Includes GST (10%) is $29.00 and the grand total is $319.00.
Results
Twenty thousand documents went out through one invoice layout after the 2023 install, with quotes and refunds available from the same account. We did not measure time saved, and this page makes no claim about the products themselves.
