Verdict on Sufio:

Sufio is the gold standard for Shopify invoice design and tax compliance. If your brand demands polished, professional invoices that meet strict international tax requirements, Sufio delivers. The trade-off is that there is no free plan — but for merchants in regulated markets or those selling across borders, the compliance features alone justify the cost.
