How to Send Shopify Draft Order Invoice Without Checkout Validation Rules

If you’re using Shopify draft orders to send invoices manually, you might face a frustrating issue.

When customers click the invoice link, they are forced to enter extra information like delivery date or time — especially if you’re using third-party apps like Pickeasy.

This happens because those apps add checkout validation rules, which can block customers from completing their payment.

In this guide, I’ll show you a simple built-in Shopify solution to bypass those rules.

How to Bypass Checkout Rules When Sending an Invoice

You can bypass checkout rules using the following steps in shopify

1. Go to your Shopify Admin Dashboard
2. Open the Draft Order you want to send
3. Click on “Send Invoice”
4. Scroll down in the popup window
5. Find the option:
6. “Checkout rules”
7. Enable the toggle: ✔️ Ignore all checkout rules to let your customer check out without validations
8. Click Review Invoice

Enabling the mentioned option, customer can complete payment without being blocked by any app validation rules, including Pickeasy’s date/time requirement.
