1. Receipts Overview
Receipts are setup by creating a new Letter (Tab in Payments2Us).
After creating a Receipt Letter, you can then assign it to one or more of the following:
- Campaign
- Payment Form
- Merchant Facility
When a new Payment is created, the receipt letter is automatically assigned when the status is one of the following:
- Payment Complete
- Authorisation Complete
- Manual Payment
- Awaiting Payment
When assigning the Receipt Letter, the following logic is used.
- If there is a Campaign linked to the Payment Txn and the Campaign has a Receipt Letter linked to it, then this Receipt Letter is used
- Otherwise, if there is a Receipt Letter Linked to the Payment Txns associated Payment Form, then that Receipt Letter is used
- Otherwise, the Receipt Letter on the Merchant Facility is used
2. Creating a new Receipt Letter
- Navigate to the "Letters" Tab
- Press the New button
- Select Record Type Receipt
- Enter the Receipt Details and Save
- Give the receipt a name - e.g. Christmas Appeal 20017
Layout type defaults to Full. The use of Short is normally used in conjuction with "Print Line Items" - Enter the body text. This can include images and some styling.
You can use mail merge fields as part of the text. See How to change Receipt body text and mail merge fields for Receipt/Letter Template
