Invoices
Invoices are the financial documents issued from your Company, requesting payment. For example, Invoices are sent to the students who attend your Events. These settings let you tailor your Invoices created within Administrate. If you use our Xero Integration, you may wish to refer to Xero Documentation on Branding Themes.
You can access the list of your invoices by navigating:
Financial → Invoices
