Customise your invoices: numbering, branding and content

DashVue generates a branded invoice for every eBay order. This guide covers the General tab in Settings → Invoices, where you set your invoice numbering, decide what appears on the invoice, and pick an accent colour, with a live preview showing the result as you go.

Where to find it

Go to Settings → Invoices and stay on the General tab. All the controls below live on this one screen, alongside a live preview of a sample invoice that updates as you change a setting.

Invoice numbering: prefix and next number

Two fields control how your invoice numbers look:

1. Prefix, a short piece of text (for example your shop initials) that appears in front of every invoice number
2. Next number, the number DashVue will use for the next invoice it generates. Numbers count up automatically from there.

Use the next number field if you need your DashVue invoices to continue a sequence you already use elsewhere, for example if you are switching over partway through a numbering run in another system.

Toggle the eBay reference and shipping line

Two optional lines can be switched on or off independently:

• The eBay reference, showing the eBay order number on the invoice so it is easy to match back to the original sale
• The shipping line, a separate line item for postage and packaging cost, shown apart from the item price

Turn these on or off to match how much detail your buyers, or your own records, need to see.

Payment terms, tax label and footer text

Three text fields let you tailor the wording on the invoice:

• Payment terms, free text describing when and how payment is expected
• Tax label, the wording used for the tax line (for example VAT), so it matches how you refer to it elsewhere
• Footer, free text shown at the bottom of every invoice, useful for a returns policy line, a thank-you message, or your business details

Edit any of these and the live preview updates immediately, so you can check the wording reads correctly before it goes out on a real order.

Accent colour with live preview

Pick an accent colour to bring your own branding into the invoice layout. The live preview panel on the same page shows exactly how the colour, numbering and text choices above will look together, so you do not need to generate a test invoice just to check the result.
