How do I set up invoice and credit note numbering?
Choose the prefixes and yearly numbering for each connected Stripe account before its first document.
- Open Settings > Payments.
- On the connected account's card, find Document numbering and select Edit.
- Set the Invoice prefix, Credit note prefix, and Receipt of payment prefix. Each needs 1 to 12 letters, digits, or dashes, and each series needs a different prefix. The Simplified invoice prefix is only used for receipts in Spain.
- Leave Include the year and restart at 1 every year on, or turn it off for one continuous sequence.
- If all of your invoicing is moving to Tiquo, enter the First invoice number (migration only) and First credit note number (migration only). Otherwise leave them blank and keep a prefix your other system does not use.
- Select Save.
The preview under each prefix shows how numbers will look, for example INV-2026-000001. Once a document has been numbered, the settings lock and show a locked badge: the series can no longer be renamed or restarted.
Each connected account keeps its own series. Changing the settings needs the Manage organization settings permission. See Document numbering.
