Custom Text info not showing on invoices

I'm trying to create an invoice template and am using invoice customization. I've added my logo, etc. but there's also a "custom text" field that I've filled out, but that text doesn't show up when I then create an invoice. How can I make that custom text appear?

Hi, if the custom text is able to save without an error displaying, maybe adjust the logo size?  The logo may be covering it.  In my experience, logos are stinkers for throwing off everything else.

 

Hope this helps!

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be it. Any idea where the custom text is supposed to appear on an invoice?

Hi, I am not sure of where you are in the dashboard, so included my steps here:  Square Dashboard, Invoices, Settings, to Invoice Customization goes to Account & Settings Business receipt, under Custom Text I added "Custom Text" as example.

Yes, it shows up in that view, but when I use preview on an actual invoice the custom text doesn't show up anywhere. Does it for you?

Hi, yes you are correct it does not in the preview.  Found the overview on Square.

Thanks for the help. I hope I can get this to work. Seems very strange they specifically have a place to enter custom text and then it doesn't actually show up on the invoice!

Hi there, @seaussy - thanks for inquiring on this. I can definitely agree, this seems like a misstep on our part by not including this custom text field within the Invoice preview. I am flagging this over to our Invoice Team for further visibility.

 

Thanks, again!

Hi there, @cooie_antics 👋 We are here to help! So sorry to hear about the trouble with your custom text on receipts.

 

Let's troubleshoot a bit. Can you list the steps you took to include the custom text within the receipt? Did you save your content once you edited it on the Dashboard?

 

I will keep an eye out for your response!

Hello Joe! 

I was wondering if you had found any solutions to this issue.  I am having the same problem.  Specifically with the Return Policy and contact information (Facebook, Instagram, website) - these show up in the preview on the left hand side of my screen when I am editing but do not show up at all on my invoice or receipt.  

Also, I am having to reset when my reminder emails go out every time I send an invoice. This is very time consuming.  Isn’t that another field that should be saved as my default settings? 

Thank you in advance foe your support!  I am attempting to fully switch over from paypal to square for the new year but these issues have me hesitant to do so.  Please help! 🙂

Before you send the invoice when its finalized.  Go to custom text or message at the bottom and put what you want in there then move the slider saying (save as default message)

 

Then everytime you send an invoice to anyone that custom text will stay there. Took me a long tim to figure it out.

invoices.jpgI Just noticed this as well. I have the "additional text fields" set up - and in the preview online (in settings) you can see it but nothing appears on the emailed invoice. There is "add a custom field" on the create invoice screen but that's for Invoices Plus.

Do I get a different copy of the receipt than my customers get? I checked my most recent receipt and there is no text on the bottom of the receipt.

Yes, your customers get a digital receipt for their purchase. You can see this receipt if you go to the transaction and click on the 4 letter identifier on your Square Dashboard Transactions.

Expand your screen so that it reduces the size on the font down to 70-80%, then it should show up
