Hi there,

I was wondering how to change the text for VAT/tax Number to GST Number on the generated PDF receipt. I went into the Messages -> Purchaser and there I could only find [INVOICE_PAYEE_TAX_NUMBER_*], no ability to edit text itself. Please let me know how that can be done. Thank you!

Hi there,

To change the text you would need to use the ‘prefix’ parameter:

[INVOICE_PAYEE_TAX_NUMBER_* prefix=GST:]

That wll change the text output to GST:, if there is no ‘prefix’ then EE defaults to ‘VAT/TAX Number:’.

To note the message system include details for all of the message shortcodes within the ‘Help’ section – http://take.ms/XkoFS

If you click that and then view the ‘Message Shortcodes’ section within there you will find details for any of the available shortcodes there.

Thank you very much Tony! It worked! I have noticed something: by default [INVOICE_PAYEE_TAX_NUMBER_*] does not have any tax number and even if you add prefix="GST: ", it reverts to default [CO_TAX_NUMBER_* ] which automatically says VAT/TAX, so the trick is to replace default line with Company’s Tax Shortcode [CO_TAX_NUMBER_* prefix="GST #: "] and it all works well. I also placed it in a different location from the Payee’s information.
