Introduction

The DPCalendar booking system payment providers can send out invoices after a booking is confirmed. The invoice consists of payment details and person specific data. Mostly invoices are issued by offline payment providers like the Manual plugin.

Actually the following core plugins do support invoices:

The Manual plugin
The QR Code plugin
The Bexio plugin

For every booking is also a receipt available which contains the booking information, status of the booking and payment provider. On the bottom are the tickets listed. The receipt is sent to the attendee once the booking is activated, either after a successful payment or on free bookings directly after the booking process.

Actions

The receipt and invoice are available in the booking details view for the admin and attendee. Additionally the invoice can be download or sent again to the attendee in the back end admin list.

Configuration

The invoices and receipts do use the global DPCalendar PDF settings in the booking system tab. These settings are:

PDF address
The address which will be rendered on top of the invoice details in the left part. Every part of the address should be added on a new line.
PDF logo
The logo which will be rendered on top of the invoice details in the left part. The logo should not be too big, otherwise it can lead to resource issues while creating the PDF
PDF header text
The header text which will be rendered on the very top of the invoice.
PDF content top text
The text which will be rendered above the invoice details. It is also possible to add here HTML content. If some styling changes are needed, put them into a tag. Like that it is possible to style the invoice without making a full template override of it.
PDF content bottom text
The text which will be rendered below the invoice details. It is also possible to add here HTML content.
Receipt included tickets
Should the tickets be included in the receipt.

Output

The output of the invoice is generated in the respective plugin and is also documented there. The receipt is built from the layout stored in /components/com_dpcalendar/layouts/booking/receipt.php. If you have a special requirement, then you can make a template override and copy that file into the folder /templates/{{your template}}/html/layouts/com_dpcalendar/booking.
