We recently encountered the fact that Draft Orders are technically not Orders and by default they do not show up under customer accounts. It appears out of the box the only reference a customer has of a Draft Order is the email with the payment link. It's a bit annoying because clients basically have to dig through their email instead of being able to simply login and have a record of all invoices both paid and pending.
As an agency we built our own custom fancy backend to manage customer invoicing, but now we've decided that we're going to just run this through Shopify as that's our expertise and our customers are used to it. That being said, most our offering are B2B not B2C and thus we send invoices for work to be performed/already performed to our clients and we need to have clients able to see invoices regardless if they're technically "Draft". Right now it's looking like we'll need to build a custom application (not crazy complex, but still...) to add this functionality into our client portal.
Just wanted to put this out there and get any thoughts in the community if this is something anyone else has run into !

I know this is old, but I am evaluating Shopify right now, and would be very interested in this functionality - did you ever find a solution to this?
Hello,
Have there been any updates to this? Or how this can be done?
Just wanted to update anyone reading this that we're currently working to finish up a custom application to enable this functionality.
Feel free to reach out for updates on rollout 😃 Cheers!
Can you please let us know how we can get on the list to when it is ready?
Hi, Is there an update on this?
That's great! Pleas keep me informed.
This is an accepted solution.
Hey @NickyGouna, there's a 3 day trial so you can see if it does what you need before committing to payment. Right now the app is really focused on the primary pain point of being able to use draft orders as invoices, but we plan on adding more features in the near future.
Things like this can also be wired up using automation/script apps like usemechanic, or services like zapier, integromate,etc.
The complication though is on the clientside we can't just inject our own liquid objects to create an order object mixed with draft objects; outside of being a proxy app that is.
