Set up Legacy Invoice

This article applies to:

The default order invoice is very basic. It displays a standard black and white layout with your company logo. If you want to customize the type of information displayed in the invoice or modify the layout or table colors, you will need to create a custom order invoice. You can set up multiple custom invoice templates; however, at any given time you can only have one default selected for orders and one for subscriptions. These custom invoices will be sent to customers when:

  • A Max Classic user creates a manual order and chooses to send an invoice immediately.
  • A successful payment is made through the shopping cart, through an autocharge, or recorded manually (if enabled through E-Commerce > Settings > Orders.)
  • A Max Classic user sends an invoice manually from an order record upon request after purchase.

The following tutorial is for applications that have the option to 'Enable payment collection on Invoices', turned off.
