Text boxes	These contain whatever text you'd like to display on your form. For example, you might add a text box to the footer of an invoice to display your refund policy. Text boxes can also be used as labels to describe adjacent data fields, like the Invoice No: example above. Text within text boxes can be changed or removed to suit the needs of your form.
Data fields	These fields appear within square brackets, such as [Company Name]. The info in these fields can't be changed because it comes from transaction or card details, or from the Company Information window. This includes information like your company name, an invoice number or a customer's address. Which fields can I add to my form?

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 Personalising invoices for details.

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.
