Entity

 

An organization can have different entities that operate independently. Different name, different location, different logo. As such, each entity probably also needs their own name, logo, etc. on their invoices.

 

To setup a new entity, go to Payment Center Settings tab, under Entities, click New:

Enter the following fields:

 

  • Entity Name - Name of your Entity

  • Sender Display Name – when emailing an invoice, this name will appear as the sender. You can leave this blank and it will automatically be populated with the Entity Name when saved.

  • Entity Logo – this is the ID of the logo as uploaded in the Documents tab :

This means that you have to go to the Documents tab, click New and upload the entity’s logo as a new document. Ensure to check the Externally Available Image checkbox. Once uploaded, you would be able to get the ID.

 

  • External Invoice Number – enter the Start and the Display Format of the entity’s own invoice numbering. More information on external invoice numbers here. You can also leave these blank and the default numbering will be used.

  • Payment Processor – when set it will serve as the processor where the entity is used. For example if an invoice has an entity, payment for that invoice will go through this processor.

  • Address - The location or mailing address of the business.

  • Bank Information - Details of the Processors information for payments or deposits.

  • Contact Information - Phone, email, or website customers can use to reach you.

  • Footer - The note or message shown at the bottom of invoices.

  • Terms And Conditions - Your payment, refund, or service policies.

 

After defining the entity, you can then select this entity when creating an invoice:
