Here’s how:

2. On the right side of the Invoice and Statement Layout page, you will find the settings to add/remove information from your invoices.

    3. Tax Including: If you’ll be charging additional tax to your clients, choose Including or Excluding. If you won’t be charging tax, choose No Tax. 
    4. Custom Text For Top Of Invoices And Statements: Add the text you want to display in your invoice header. You can also leave it blank. Once the text is saved here, it will appear on all generated invoices, including the already created past and future dated, when invoices are printed or emailed. 
    5. Custom Text For Invoice Footer: Add in the text you want to display at the bottom of your invoice for Business Name Position. Once the text is saved here, it will appear on all generated invoices, including the already created past and future dated, when invoices are printed or emailed.
    6. Business Name Position: If you don’t have a logo, or if your logo doesn’t have your business name, you can use this setting to add your business name to your invoice. 
    7. Your Logo Position: With this setting, you can choose the position of your logo on your invoice, or you can choose not to display it at all. 
    8. Your Business Contact Details: If your business contact details or tax idea is already in your logo or pre-printed on your papers, set it to Don’t Show.  
    9. Invoice Paper Size: Select your invoice paper size on which you’ll be printing out your invoices. 
    10. Last Invoice Number: Type in the number after which you want your next invoice to start. This can be useful when you are migrating from another system, and need Zanda to to set a specific invoice number to start from within your new Zanda account, to ensure that there are no clashes when you export Invoices to Xero.
    11. Invoice Email Template: Choose an email template. Your invoices will be attached to this email template and will be sent according to the settings made in this template.
    12. Receipt Email Template: Choose an email template. Your receipts will be attached to this email template and will be sent according to the settings made in this template. When there is no template selected in this field, the system will use the default invoice email template when emailing receipts. A receipt is a fully paid invoice, that can be emailed to the payee from a Zanda account, or when clients pay for their invoices via the Client Portal and request to email the receipt to them. 

Example Receipt Email Template💡

Here is a basic receipt email template that you can use to add to your Tools > Communication > Templates:

Message Type - Email
Name - Receipt Email

1. On the left-hand menu of your Zanda dashboard, navigate to Settings > Practice >  Business Information

 2. Here you can make changes to your clinic name, ABN, country, timezone and locale.

3. Similarly, go to Settings > Practice > Locations.  

4. Click on your location from the list. This will bring up a form using which you can edit your location info. This includes business name, physical address, postcode, contact information and colour (displayed on the calendar). Also, you can set the location as default, or deactivate it completely. 

Any changes made will instantly be reflected in the new invoices you create for your clients.

  2. Add your business registration number and contact details in Settings > Billing > Invoices > 'Custom Text for Top of Invoices and Statements', save the changes.

This will display your business registration number and contact details in the top-right section of the invoice.

  • Alternatively, you can 
  1. Add your business details and registration number on your logo image; 
  2. Upload it in Settings > Billing > Invoices, 
  3. Set 'Your Business Contact Details' to 'Don't Show'. Save the changes.

This will display your business registration number and contact details on the logo image.

  • You may need to display individual practitioners registration numbers on their invoices. To achieve this, 
  1. In Settings > Billing > Invoices, set 'Your Business Contact Details' to 'Don't Show'. Save the changes.
  2. In Settings > Team > Practitioners > open a practitioner profile > Details, add the practitioners' registration numbers in the 'Custom Invoice Text' box, and save the changes. 

This will display practitioner registration number under the provider name on their invoices.
