A receipt can be understood as the paper or electronic record proving the sale of products or services to a customer. The receipt is usually printed or emailed to the customer immediately after the transaction. From the Back Office, you can create, edit and delete receipt templates. A receipt template includes a set of parameters allowing you to design how your receipts are printed.

Understanding receipt types

There are three main different types of receipts: Normal, Note and Invoice. When formatting your invoice templates, specify which receipt type (or mode) you wish to use:

Normal mode: Print layout for customer receipts.
Note mode: Print layout for draft customer receipts.
Invoice mode: Print layout for invoice receipts.

Editing receipts

To edit receipts, choose the printing type (mode) and then configure its design.

1. From the main navigation bar of the Back Office go to Configuration > Printing > Receipt.
2. Select the mode desired to modify (Normal, Note, or Invoice).

Should you need to change the content for any reason, you could follow these action points.

Deleting receipts

To make a long story short, there isn’t a functionality to delete a template of any mode. There has to always be a template to be in charge of receipts in any way. So it is only possible to edit a current template. How you can edit a template is explained in the Editing receipts section.
