Which Emails Include a PDF Invoice
PDF Invoices
PDF Invoices attaches a PDF when Paid Memberships Pro sends an email that belongs to an order. Reminder emails such as Membership Expiring are not order emails, so they do not get a PDF.

Emails that include a PDF
The plugin attaches a PDF when the email template name starts with checkout_, or is one of the following:
| Template | Typical use |
|---|---|
checkout_* | Member checkout / confirmation emails. |
invoice | Invoice email for an order. |
billable_invoice | Billable invoice email. |
check_pending | Pay by Check — pending. |
check_pending_reminder | Pay by Check — reminder. |
The email must include an order ID or order code. If Paid Memberships Pro sends a message with no order, there is nothing to attach.
Admin emails
By default, PDFs attach to member-facing emails only. To also attach them to admin checkout copies, enable Admin Emails under Settings → PMPro PDF Invoices → Settings.
Emails that do not include a PDF
- Membership Expiring
- Membership Expired
- Other PMPro reminders that are not tied to a new or existing order
Those templates are membership notices, not invoices. Adding a PDF there is custom work and is not a setting.

Common mistakes
Expecting a PDF on Membership Expiring
That email is a reminder that membership will end. It is not an invoice for an order.
Fix: Use checkout / invoice emails for PDFs. For unpaid members you still need an order before a PDF can exist.
