GST, invoice numbers and checkout terms

01The Checkout settings

Three blocks in your organisation settings decide how money is asked for and how the paperwork reads.

Collect payment yourself

Lets an order be placed with nothing charged online, paid at the counter or on delivery and marked paid by hand.

Number prefix

Starts every invoice number. The sequence after it is the server’s.

Default terms

How long a customer has to pay an invoice.

Footer note

A line printed at the foot of every invoice.

GST registered and GST number

Takes GST out of your stated prices and prints the number on every invoice.

02GST

Turn on GST registered and 15% is taken out of your stated prices, not added on top, with your GST number carried on the paperwork. Totals are frozen on the server the moment an invoice is issued, so a later rate or setting change can never rewrite an invoice you already sent.

03Invoice numbering

You choose the prefix; the server issues the numbers gap free and shows you which one is next. It is deliberately not editable. A gap in an invoice sequence is a question you do not want to be answering later.
