Re: Localisation of wording on invoice?

Thanks @sharpiemarker , that worked a charm for TAX INVOICE in place of the business name!   I'm documenting here some other things that I played around with in case some other poor soul is looking for solutions:   For your localised Tax ID  In the Tax ID field write the actual label you want to use e.g. for me "/ GST No : 1234567". It will appear on the invoice as:   Tax ID : / GST No : 1234567   which while not cosmetically ideal, is most definitely legally compliant and in a more appropriate place on the invoice than down in the notes.   I wouldn't recommend using the 'Additional Info' field on the Business info, as while it is perfect for country-specific information like this, it does not appear on the online invoice - only in the PDF - so it could be considered non-compliant.   Similar tricks can be used to localise the Reference field if you have specific wording you need. I needed "PO Number" instead of Reference, so I entered "PO Number: 1234567" as the Reference, which appears as:   Reference PO Number : 1234567   which again, is not cosmetically ideal, but is compliant.   Hope that helps the next person 😊   ...

Localisation of wording on invoice?

I'm interested in using the Invoicing functionality in Paypal (to receive/request monies). However in my country there is certain wording legally required on an invoice and I can't send it without those key words.   Two examples: An invoice with tax must say "TAX INVOICE" not "INVOICE" The TaxID needs to be "GST Number" or "GST No" i.e. it must say "GST"   While I could solve #2 in the notes down the bottom, I can't solve #1 (it has to be prominently written).   Has anyone else in NZ (or I guess Australia which has very similar legal requirements) worked around this? Is there a way to do it properly in PayPal?   Thanks! ... View more
