Sorry, there isn’t any plan.
There isn’t an invoice in the system since payment is made before product/service is given. From a business standpoint, an invoice is a request for payment for something (which we don’t do since payment is required first). Your PayPal account should serve as a receipt/document of payment and what it was specifically for if that’s what you need (it shows the product, price as well as payment amount)?
Good afternoon.
The form is usually generated automatically on the website where the purchase is made, and all company details and payment methods are specified.
It is also possible to generate such invoices in Stripe. Please check PayPal to see how to do this if a company purchases the module.

You can do invoices with PayPal, however we don't sell anything with invoices because we don't deliver things with payment terms (future payments). An invoice would be if someone wanted a quote for something, but hasn't paid and then a company's accounts payable department mailed a check for it (an invoice is a request for payment).
A transaction receipt is more along the lines of what we do. Someone pays for something before they get it... similar to a grocery store or department store (a grocery store doesn't have an invoice for the buyer, they get a receipt showing the items purchased and transaciton info for the payment made). We aren't even collecting the info that would be needed to generate an invoice (for example company name, address, phone numbers, etc.), rather we are just selling specific items and generating a transaction receipt showing the item was paid for. Transaction receipts are printable from within your PayPal account if you look at the transaction detail (it has all the relevant info... what it was, when it was paid, the amount, the transaction ID, etc.)
An invoice wouldn't show something as being paid necessarily, it would only show the item and price and when the amount is due. If you need documentation that something was actually purchased, the transaction receipt is what you would want I would think?
If you look at a Stripe invoice, it doesn't show that anything was paid, it's an invoice, so it's just a request for payment. It shows only what is being sold and info for the customer on how they can then pay that invoice:
Basically there's the invoice (which is a bill/request for payment), and separately a transaction receipt which is the info showing something was actually paid. Since we aren't requesting payment, we don't utilize invoices within our business/accounting system since people pay first for the item(s).

You can see how competitors of the R2 module sell through Stripe and how an invoice is generated after the product is sold, or as an example, you can see how wp-rocket is sold, and I also received an invoice without any problems.
As for PayPal, many people can pay without creating a PayPal account, as it is not necessary.
Many people use Stripe to buy the module simply with a card, and the commission for the seller is lower than Stripe.

Ya, we use Stripe for some things, so we know how it works. PayPal also can generate invoices, it's not just something we do since we deliver product after payment is made. That being said, if you want us to create an invoice for you, we certainly can. Just let us know what you would want on it (for example company, address, phone number, etc.)
Again, we operate more like a store than an accounts receivable department at a corporation. We have no need for accounts receivable because items are paid for before they are delivered. We operate based on payment transactions, not invoices (a request for money), similar to walking into a store and buying something. They don't need to collect your personal info or generate an invoice at a normal store because you aren't being invoiced for anything, rather you are paying for something (even with very large companies... for example if you walk into an Apple store and buy a computer, you get a receipt of payment, not an invoice).
But, like I said... it's easy enough to click a button to generate an invoice if you want one. Just need the info you'd like to go on it.
