You can attach a PDF invoice to the order confirmation email that someone receives when purchasing a ticket. You can include the VAT information, address, and other instructions or information in the invoice and download the PDF from your admin console.

Creating a Ticket Purchase Invoice

Add the Organizer's VAT Information

If you require VAT for your event, you must set this up BEFORE opening your ticket sales. The information will appear in the Organizer section of the invoice.

Note: If you didn't set up VAT before opening your ticket sales and want your VAT ID to appear in the invoice, your next best option is to enter it in the organizer's address field or add it to the Custom Invoice Text area.

Add the Organizer's Address

If you need your Organizer Address to show in the invoice, you must update the address field in your Organizer Profile, which will automatically appear in the Event section of the invoice. If VAT is enabled, the organizer's address will appear in the Organizer section of the invoice.

  • Click Manage Organization at the bottom of your admin console's left-side panel.

  • Click Profile

  • Enter your Organization's address in the address fields

Add the Buyer's VAT Information

When you require VAT for ticket sales, the Organization and VAT ID fields will automatically appear in the ticket buyer's order form. Organization will be a required field, and VAT ID is an optional field. The information will appear in the Bill to section of the invoice.

Note: If you didn't set up VAT before opening your ticket sales and want your buyer's VAT ID to appear in the invoice, your next best option is to enter it in the buyer's address field.

Add the Buyer's Address

If your customers need their address to show in the invoice, you need to include the Billing Address field in the Ticket Buyer's order form to capture the information during registration and have it automatically appear in the Bill To section of the invoice.

  • Go to Registration > Order Form

  • Include and Require the Billing Address field for the Ticket Buyer.

    Note: If you forgot to do this, you could still enable the toggles even after the purchase, then manually enter the information through the Orders tab.


Add a Custom Invoice Text

If you have payment instructions or other information you want to include in the invoice, you can add that through the ticket's Advanced Settings.

  • Go to Registration > Set Up Tickets

  • Open the ticket type to edit

  • Go to Advanced Settings

  • Enter the message in Custom Invoice Text
