Hi all, I am trying to create a draft invoice (this would be my 10th one I’m creating) and I keep getting an error message that says “Draft order couldn’t be created”. It’s a new customer but I have her address and email - what is the issue?

Invoice can’t be sent from XXXX@indianmXXXX.store. Verify this email address and try again.

I’m getting this same message. I tried on mobile and laptop with same error. I checked my account profile and it says my email is verified.

I am having the same issue now. I have sent several invoices in the past with no problem and now it says this on every browser and device

Exactly same issue. Shopify needs to resolve. It worked in the past and I have sent 100s of invoices. This is really impacting my business

I talked to customer support and they had me go to settings —> notifications (under store settings —> and make sure your email address is verified on that page. I had to resend verification to my email. Once this was completed I was able to send invoice like normal. Hope this helps!!

Mine is still verified I checked several times. I even tried to put the email in again but it wouldn’t let me because it was already in use.

This worked out. open the admin on desktop and you will see resend verification button.

Why can't I send an invoice to my new customer?
