| I am proud of the invoice template that I developed. It doesn't get used
that much since instant checkout started. I sometimes get a "Wait for Invoice"
order and use it. But more often it is used to auto-send an invoice to someone
who clicked instant checkout and then didn't complete their payment. I guess?
These people are getting an immediate invoice that says I have packed their
order and everything is good to go, which is still what I would like to tell
the people who wait for an invoice. But I would rather have a totally different
invoice for the auto-generated ones.

I think what you describe already exists, the SHIPMETHODID-EQ block tag, right?
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/message_templates.page#/1
Actually, I would like no invoice to be sent for IC orders.
Invoices can have 3 different functions: originally, it's tax administration,
but it can also serve as payment instruction or order confirmation. Bricklink
already has both payment instruction and order confirmation, and I don't
know about others but I am doing my tax administration separately anyway because
for me BL does not generate legally valid invoices. That leaves not a single
reason for me why BL should send an invoice. I am abusing the BL invoice function
to just make its macros generate a list of data that I feed into my invoicing
software. Unfortunately, on the IC orders I don't get to delete this list,
and it is obligatorily sent to the buyer. Not very elegant.
I would really like to have the option to turn off automatic invoices. Many webstores
where I buy invoices are sent manually after payment, or after accepting and
preparing the order. I think BL should allow the same. Just as an option I mean,
so that everyone can run things the way they want.
