How to Modify Confirm of Sale Email sent to Merchant (aka me) and Taxes Question

When a sale is completed the seller (Merchant) receives a confirmation email which states a summary of the registration. It currently lists the first and last name, email, event title, number of attendees, reg id, etc.

Is it possible to modify the information that is contained in this email? Things like amount paid, discounts, surcharges/taxes, date of purchase, etc.

the Invoice contains some of this, can’t this just be in the confirmation email too? Shouldn’t cost and surcharge be broken apart?

Is the ability to assign a “tax” amount coming? right now surcharge is the only option but there should be a tax and a surcharge option. I think 99% of the world charges taxes.

Everyone that uses this product is selling a product or a service in which it is very likely a tax is required to be charged on. It only makes sense to build this into your product and report out the subtotal, tax and total amounts in the database, confirm email to merchant, confirm email to buyer and be displayed on the invoice.

Hi there,

Currently the admin email is generated from a function within the email.php functions file, so it is not user-configurable via an option. The messaging system that was built for 4.x brings user-configuration options to the admin emails.

There are also plans to add support for taxes for a future release. That said, many of the payment processors (like PayPal) will allow for tax to be added via your payment processor account options.

When is 4.x expected/estimated to be released?

No ETA currently. They want to make sure it’s done right rather than quickly and not done right.
