Invoice – Payment Due?

Hi, I’m looking for two features that are basically linked:
1. The ability for the invoice to state when payment is due. At the moment there appears to be nothing that relates to this; is this even possible? Perhaps by adding 7 days to the registration date in the invoice template?
2. Is there a way to mark a payment as overdue after a certain period (such as the 7 days mentioned above)? I understand that reminder emails need to be sent manually from within EE, but it seems a little unreasonable to expect the client to go through every single attendee who hasn’t paid, just to see if they’re at the ‘overdue’ mark, on top of this. Is there some kind of alert that can be set up after a 1 week period?
Thanks again for all your help!

I’ve spotted another issue with invoicing; there is no invoice number on the final pdf. I have the ID of the attendee, but that’s not really important. Is there a way to set this up? Thanks.

Hi Angela,

1) You can use the ‘Invoice Instructions in PDF’ field to state when the payment id due. By default this states:

Please send this invoice with payment attached to the address above, or use the payment link below. Payment must be received within 48 hours of event date.

But can be changed under Event Espresso -> Payment Settings. ‘Invoice Payment Settings’.

2) Unfortunately Event Espresso does not have any kind of alert system which could be used like this.

3) The Primary Attendee ID is used as the Invoice ID as this would be a unique value for each invoice. You can alter the wording to show ‘Invoice ID’ by editing event-espresso-release/gateways/invoice/template.php, line 116:

$pdf->Cell(180, 20, __('Primary Attendee ID: ', 'event_espresso') . $attendee_id, 0, 0, 'R'); //Set Invoice number

Set that to:

$pdf->Cell(180, 20, __('Invoice ID: ', 'event_espresso') . $attendee_id, 0, 0, 'R'); //Set Invoice number

I would advise copying the modified ‘invoice’ folder to wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways/ to save any modifications during updates.
