When personalising your forms, use the Customisation tab in the Form window to add text and data fields and change field properties (such as font and colour).

Data fields automatically fill in for you when printed or emailed, such as the name of the customer you're invoicing or the invoice due date. Data field content is drawn from information stored in your company file such as transaction or card details, or details from the Company Information window. When you're customising a form, data fields are identified with square brackets, such as [Company Name].

Text boxes are free-form fields that you type directly into, and will appear exactly the same, every time you print or email the form. For example, you might add a text field to the footer of an invoice that has your refund and returns conditions.

How do I add my accepted payment methods to my invoices?

To display your accepted payment methods on your invoices, you can add a text field which contains this info. See To add text to a form above.

Or, you can create a comment containing your accepted payment methods, then choose this comment when recording your sale. You can also modify your invoice form to ensure the comment field is sized and positioned according to its content, for example you can position the comment field at the bottom of the invoice and enlarge the field to span the page.

Whichever method you use, make sure you select the modified form (containing your accepted payment methods) when you email or print your invoices.
