Templates and Brands
The Templates and brands Settings page allows you to create and manage various styled invoices, quotes, and emails. You can also set up multiple brands within one account, giving you flexibility in how you present your business to clients.
Access Templates and brands Settings using the gear icon
on the top left menu or visit the Template settings page on the web dashboard.
Templates
A template defines the style and content of your invoices, quotes, and emails. With templates, you can:
- Choose different invoice layouts
- Customize colors and fonts
- Add and resize logos
- Include attachments
- Create custom emails for various scenarios
Modifying a template affects previously sent invoices using that template. Consider creating a new template to avoid unintended changes to historical documents.
Brands
A brand is a template with overridden company details. This feature is particularly useful if you operate multiple brands under one accounting entity.
