Document generation, answered
Why use ShipPDF if AI can already generate PDF documents?
AI can be enough for a one-off PDF. For recurring invoices, shipping labels, or packing slips, ShipPDF gives you reusable templates, consistent branding, and formula-based calculations. Connect your data to generate each new document automatically. Your AI assistant can use ShipPDF too, creating templates and generating PDF documents within the same workflow.
What is document generation software?
It builds finished documents from a template and a set of data. Instead of editing last month's invoice by hand, you mark the parts that change once and they get filled in for every customer, order or month.
Can I automate PDF generation without a developer?
Yes. Connect Zapier, Make, Airtable or Google Sheets and add a render step, with no code. Developers can use the REST API, or wire it into n8n with an HTTP Request step. SDKs for Node, Python and Go are coming soon.
Can I create documents with my own branding?
Yes. Design your template in ShipPDF’s visual editor and use the Brand Asset Manager to add your logos and other brand assets. No HTML required.
How do I generate invoices from Airtable or Sheets?
Point the row at an invoice template. ShipPDF renders the PDF and writes it back to a field, emails it, or returns a hosted link. Line-item tables handle their own page breaks and running totals.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, and it needs no card. The free tier renders enough to put a real document in front of a real customer. You can go from template design to your first document in about 10 minutes.
