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:

Once a customer has paid or you added a payment manually, details in the invoice are automatically regenerated.
