You can ensure customers only receive their invoice once they've paid for their order. By default, customers receive two order notifications: One confirming the new order and one confirming the order has been paid as explained in the notification email overview.

By following these instructions:

• The Order Invoice template will be the only email sent. It will be sent after the payment has been received.
• The order confirmation email will not be sent to customers. You can install an app called Lightspeed Order Alert to keep order notifications. Visit Configuring new order notifications for more information.
