Customize invoice template
A PDF invoice consists of two parts:
● Automatically generated customer and booking details (different for each
booking)
● Your custom property/hotel information (fixed).
First, include all brand property information into your invoice via Accommodation →
Settings → Extensions tab → Invoices. Here is what you can do with your invoice:
● Add an Invoice title (e.g. Invoice )
● Upload a company logo
● Add a company name (e.g. the name of your property or hotel)
● Add company information (e.g. address)
● Additional information that will be added at the bottom of the invoice (here you
can include any legal information, site links or whatever information for guest
reference).
For example:
If you want to display a link to an automatically generated invoice on your website right
after a guest submits a booking, tick this option in the settings:
This allows guests to view and download PDF invoices on your website by following a
link:
Include a PDF invoice tag into guest emails
To automatically send PDF invoices as email attachments, make sure to copy and paste this tag
%pdf_invoice% into the Approved booking email template (via Accommodation → Settings →
Customer Emails ).
Guests will be able to find attachments in emails - they can view, download and print them:
Please note: invoices are generated even for unpaid bookings:
Once a customer has paid or you added a payment manually, details in the invoice are
automatically regenerated.
View invoices in the admin dashboard
As an administrator, you can view customer invoices:
1) From the list of all bookings (hover the mouse over the needed booking)
2) From any individual booking (open a booking)
Once any information in the booking changes, the invoice will be updated accordingly.
