How can I view a large draft order invoice in the browser?

[LGRAM60]

I am trying to send an invoice with 300 different items in it. I click the "review invoice" button and I get an error Preview is too big, please try viewing it in the browser.

Can you tell me how to do this so I can send my invoice?

Thanks!

Happening to me too. Any idea?

Rachel, I am sorry I received no good solutions on here or by contacting Shopify. They suggested doing multiple draft orders which I eventually did. The big problem was the customer upped their request to 600 different items. I had to create 6 different orders because I  could add more that 110 items per order. It was a long and tedious process and I do not recommend it. I am fortunate, my customer understood the limitations of the cart but it was a big hassle.  The limits of the cart to 500 different items does not help this kind of situation.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I have just come across the same issue while working with a client.

Did Shopify confirm to you that 110 items was the max item limit before hitting this error message? 

It would be great to have this limit lifted or at least mentioned earlier in the process so users don't get to the last step of the process only to find out then that they'll have to redo it.

I was never able to make a draft order go through over that amount. Shopify told me it was 500 different items in the cart and was the same for a draft order but I could not make it work over the 100 or so items. Unfortunately I could not "invoice" through Shopify and had to use a different program(used my Quickbooks). I do not get orders like that very often so I can do the work around. Sorry I am not that much help.
