How do I obtain an invoice for an online Apple Watch purchase

First I want to comment on how bad Apple customer support is: 1. Purchased the latest watch series 12 and didn’t see my 3-month Apple Fitness trial. When I finally connected with an agent after lengthy AI gatekeeping, they tried gaslighting me for about 1/2 hours claiming that I had a previous Fitness membership. 2. Have been waiting for an invoice for that watch. Have visited the order page numerous times, following instructions on how to see invoice - not there. After lengthy AI gatekeeping, I called the store where I picked up the watch only to be told invoices aren’t produced for online orders🤨 Also told I have to contact Apple to request this invoice. Really?! You would think generating an invoice would be an automatic no-brainer.

What has happened to Apple customer service!

If ordered directly from Apple online and associated with your Apple Account, tap the shopping bag icon in the upper right corner of this and many other Apple web pages, log in using your Apple Account, select the purchase, select show invoice, then select either print, or select share and then select save to files.

Apple actually confirms that online orders do have invoices. For Apple, you should normally receive the official invoice by email within 2–3 working days after delivery. If you don’t receive it, Apple says to contact Apple Store Customer Service for a copy.

You can also check your Order Status page—Apple says you can print/reprint the invoice there.
