Customise your receipts
The Customise your receipts page controls the business information, branding, and email text used for payment receipts generated by ShopWired Pay.
ShopWired Pay receipts are payment receipts. They are not VAT invoices.
What receipts customisation controls
What receipts customisation controls
Receipt customisation can affect:
- Receipt emails sent to customers after eligible successful payments
- Failed payment receipt emails for failed or incomplete payment attempts
- Receipt PDF files generated from payment activity
- Receipt previews shown in the app
- Merchant copy receipt emails where the Merchant copy setting is enabled
Receipt customisation does not change payment, refund, payout, or Till order status.
Successful payment receipt emails are sent only after ShopWired Pay has confirmed that the payment was successful and a customer email address is available.
