🧺 Local Business Use Case (Zimbabwe Example)

You’re a vendor in Harare selling handmade shoes. A customer from Mutare places an order for 3 pairs. You want to:

1. Include a packing slip inside the box so the buyer can confirm they got the right items.
2. Attach an invoice to the parcel or email it to the customer.

✅ You follow the steps above to print both documents before dispatch.
This adds a professional touch and reduces customer disputes.
