Implementing auto payment date…

Greetings,

Wen we invoice, we have a 30 days net policy. I am wondering how to have the invoice produce an automatic 30 days net payment date on the invoice information.

For example if I make a transaction today, and the invoice sends out to me as the purchaser I should see both the DATE OF INVOICE: OCT. 5, 2015 … and the PAYMENT DATE: NOV. 4, 2015.

Is there a short code to put in for this in the invoice template?

Thanks in advance?
//Evan

Hey Evan,

At the moment, we don’t have a feature that sends out automated follow-ups based on payment method. We are planning this type of feature and have been working underlying systems to make this a reality, however, it will be several months before we have a working prototype.

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Greetings, Seth

Its not a follow-up I am looking for. What I am looking for it to place the date the invoice needs to be paid.

For example, you buy something today, Oct. 5 – and this will show up on the invoice. I have also written into payment info the 30 Days Net policy, but in Sweden we have a standard of having the PAYMENT DUE DATE also on the invoice.

If we continue with the example above, Oct. 5 is the INVOICE DATE. I want to add a PAYMENT DUE DATE on the invoice itself, which would be Nov. 4….30 days from now.

Make sense? With out clients, sending an invoice once is sufficient…but they need a PAYMENT DUE DATE.

Possible to add this somehow in the template code?

Hey Evan,

Ah, I see now. We don’t have a shortcode for this at the moment. However, I am adding a feature request for this, so it can be added to a later version.

My pleasure. I created a ticket for our developers, hopefully it’s a simple change 🙂

Hi Evan,

Adding a due date (e.g. 30 days) is now available through a new shortcode:

[PAYMENT_DUE_DATE_* format=m/d/y days_until_due=30]

Please backup your WordPress site and then update to the latest version of Event Espresso 4 and you’ll see this new shortcode in the invoice message type for the messages system.
