Cause of death: the autopsy
47 apps with these formats launched on Shopify in 2026 with 14 reviews between them (median 0, 30 with a free plan), and the big invoice apps added the formats too. The leader Sufio was on 763 stores, down 26.1% year over year, even with Belgium's mandate live. Most Shopify orders are consumer sales outside the mandates, and business sellers already get e-invoices from their accounting software's Shopify connector. The farm had already killed this exact idea on 2026-09-23; rescored 8/25.
The numbers
None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.
Could rise again if
By 2026-12-31 any 2026 e-invoice app reaches 15+ reviews, Sufio climbs back to 800+ stores, or merchants post 10+ new questions a month.
