**Hello Magento Friends,**

In today’s tutorial, I will explain How to Add a “Download Invoice” Button in Magento 2 Order Email.
[![Magento version upgrade](https://magecomp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Magento-2-Version-Upgrade-CTA-3.webp)](https://magecomp.com/services/magento-upgrade-services/)

Once the payment is completed successfully, an [**order confirmation email**](https://magecomp.com/magento-2-order-confirmation-email.html) is sent to the customer’s email. Order confirmation email helps customers get detailed information about their orders. You can allow users to easily download order invoice from the order confirmation email itself in Magento 2.
Let’s look at the steps to add download invoice button in the order email in Magento 2.
## Steps to Add Download Invoice Button in Order Email in Magento 2:
**Step 1:** Firstly, go to the below file path
**app\code\Vendor\Extension\view\frontend\layout\sales_email_order_items.xml**

Then add the code as follows
```
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd" label="Email Order Items List" design_abstraction="custom">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="items">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <argument name="template" translate="true" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Extension::email/items.phtml</argument>
            </action>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>
```

**Step 2:** Next, move to the file path as given below
**app\code\Vendor\Extension\view\frontend\templates\email\items.phtml**

And embed the below code
```
<?php
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */

// phpcs:disable Magento2.Templates.ThisInTemplate

/** @var $block MagentoSalesBlockOrderEmailItems */
?>
<?php $_order = $block->getOrder() ?>
<?php if ($_order) : ?>
    <?php $_items = $_order->getAllItems(); ?>
        <?php foreach ($_items as $_item) : ?>
            <?php if (!$_item->getParentItem()) : ?>
                    <?= $block->getItemHtml($_item) ?>
            <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
        <tr>
            <td style="font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold;border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom: 10px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
                Order Total
            </td>
        </tr>

        <tr class="order-totals">
            <?= $block->getChildHtml('order_totals') ?>
        </tr>
       <?php if(count($_order->getInvoiceCollection())):
        $objectManager =  MagentoFrameworkAppObjectManager::getInstance();

        $storeManager = $objectManager->get('MagentoStoreModelStoreManagerInterface');
        $store = $storeManager->getStore();
        $baseUrl = $store->getBaseUrl();
        ?>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align: center;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
                <a href="&lt;?= $baseUrl ?" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_blank" rel="follow">emailcustomisation/invoice/printinvoice/order_id/<?= $_order->getId() ?>" class="download" >Download
                </a>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($this->helper(MagentoGiftMessageHelperMessage::class)
            ->isMessagesAllowed('order', $_order, $_order->getStore())
        && $_order->getGiftMessageId()
    ) : ?>
        <?php $_giftMessage = $this->helper(MagentoGiftMessageHelperMessage::class)
            ->getGiftMessage($_order->getGiftMessageId()); ?>
        <?php if ($_giftMessage) : ?>
            <br />
            <table class="message-gift">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <h3><?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Gift Message for this Order')) ?></h3>
                        <strong><?= $block->escapeHtml(__('From:')) ?></strong> <?= $block->escapeHtml($_giftMessage->getSender()) ?>
                        <br /><strong><?= $block->escapeHtml(__('To:')) ?></strong> <?= $block->escapeHtml($_giftMessage->getRecipient()) ?>
                        <br /><strong><?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Message:')) ?></strong>
                        <br /><?= $block->escapeHtml($_giftMessage->getMessage()) ?>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
```

**Step 3:** Now navigate to the following file path
**app\code\Vendor\Extension\etc\frontend\routes.xml**

Then add the below code snippet
```
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/etc/routes.xsd">
    <router id="standard">
        <route id="yourrouteid" frontName="yourfrountname">
            <module name="Vendor_Extension" />
        </route>
    </router>
</config>
```

**Step 4:** Next, you need to go to the below-mentioned file path
**app\code\Vendor\Extension\Controller\Invoice\Printinvoice.php**

And include the code as given below
```
<?php

namespace VendorExtensionControllerInvoice;

use MagentoFrameworkAppResponseInterface;
use MagentoFrameworkAppFilesystemDirectoryList;

class Printinvoice extends MagentoFrameworkAppActionAction
{
    /**
     * Authorization level of a basic admin session
     *
     * @see _isAllowed()
     */
    const ADMIN_RESOURCE = 'Magento_Sales::sales_invoice';

    /**
     * @var MagentoFrameworkAppResponseHttpFileFactory
     */
    protected $_fileFactory;

    /**
     * @var MagentoBackendModelViewResultForwardFactory
     */
    protected $resultForwardFactory;

    /**
     * @param MagentoBackendAppActionContext $context
     * @param MagentoFrameworkAppResponseHttpFileFactory $fileFactory
     * @param MagentoBackendModelViewResultForwardFactory $resultForwardFactory
     */
    public function __construct(
        MagentoFrameworkAppActionContext $context,
        MagentoFrameworkAppResponseHttpFileFactory $fileFactory,
        MagentoBackendModelViewResultForwardFactory $resultForwardFactory,
        MagentoSalesModelOrderFactory $order)
    {
        $this->_fileFactory = $fileFactory;
        parent::__construct($context);
        $this->resultForwardFactory = $resultForwardFactory;
        $this->order = $order;
    }

    /**
     * @return ResponseInterface|void
     * @throws Exception
     */
    public function execute()
    {
       $orderId = $this->getRequest()->getParam('order_id');
       $orderdetails = $this->order->create()->load($orderId);
        $invoiceId = 0;
        foreach ($orderdetails->getInvoiceCollection() as $invoice)
        {
            $invoiceId = $invoice->getId();
        }
        if ($invoiceId != 0)
        {
            $invoice = $this->_objectManager->create(
                MagentoSalesApiInvoiceRepositoryInterface::class
            )->get($invoiceId);
            if ($invoice)
            {
                $pdf = $this->_objectManager->create(MagentoSalesModelOrderPdfInvoice::class)->getPdf([$invoice]);
                $date = $this->_objectManager->get(
                    MagentoFrameworkStdlibDateTimeDateTime::class
                )->date('Y-m-d_H-i-s');
                $fileContent = ['type' => 'string', 'value' => $pdf->render(), 'rm' => true];

                return $this->_fileFactory->create(
                    'invoice' . $date . '.pdf',
                    $fileContent,
                    DirectoryList::VAR_DIR,
                    'application/pdf'
                );
            }
        }
        else
        {
            return;
            return $this->resultForwardFactory->create()->forward('noroute');
        }
    }
}
```

**Step 5:** In this step, move to the following file path
**app\code\Vendor\Extension\Model\Order\Pdf\Invoice.php**

Then incorporate the following piece of code
```
<?php

namespace VendorExtensionModelOrderPdf;

use PHPQRCodeQRcode;

class Invoice extends MagentoSalesModelOrderPdfInvoice
{
    protected function _setFontBold($object, $size = 7)
    {
        $font = Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithPath($this->getFontPath());
        $object->setFont($font, $size);
        return $font;
    }

    public function newPage(array $settings = [])
    {
        $page = $this->_getPdf()->newPage(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
        $this->_getPdf()->pages[] = $page;
        $this->y = 800;
        if (!empty($settings['table_header']))
        {
            $this->_drawHeader($page);
        }
        return $page;
    }

    protected function _drawHeader(Zend_Pdf_Page $page)
    {
        $this->_setFontRegular($page, 10);
        $page->setFillColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0.93, 0.92, 0.92));
        $page->setLineColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0.5));
        $page->setLineWidth(0.5);
        $page->drawRectangle(25, $this->y, 570, $this->y - 15);
        $this->y -= 10;
        $page->setFillColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0, 0, 0));

        $taxableAmountText = $this->string->split('Taxable Amount', 8);
        $lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Products'), 'feed' => 35];

        $lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Qty'), 'feed' => 150, 'align' => 'right'];

        $lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Price'), 'feed' => 185, 'align' => 'right'];

        $lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Subtotal'), 'feed' => 235, 'align' => 'right'];
        $lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Discount'), 'feed' => 290, 'align' => 'right'];

        $lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Tax Amt'), 'feed' => 345, 'align' => 'right'];
        $lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Custom'), 'feed' => 400, 'align' => 'right'];

        $lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Row Total'), 'feed' => 570, 'align' => 'right'];

        $lineBlock = ['lines' => $lines, 'height' => 5, $this->y];

        $this->drawLineBlocks($page, [$lineBlock], ['table_header' => true]);
        $page->setFillColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0));
        $this->y -= 20;
    }

    protected function _setFontRegular($object, $size = 7)
    {
        $font = Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithPath($this->getFontPath());
        $object->setFont($font, $size);
        return $font;
    }

   protected function _drawFooter(Zend_Pdf_Page $page)
   {
        $this->_setFontRegular($page, 10);
        $this->y -= 10;
        $page->setFillColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0, 0, 0));
    }
    protected function _setFontItalic($object, $size = 7)
    {
        $font = Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithPath($this->getFontPath());
        $object->setFont($font, $size);
        return $font;
    }
}
```

**Step 6:** At last, go to the below file path
**app\code\Vendor\Extension\Model\Sales\Order\Pdf\Items\Invoice.php**

And insert the below fragment of code
```
<?php
namespace VendorExtensionModelSalesOrderPdfItems;

    }
    private function drawChildrenItems(): array
