Alto’s POS & Inventory allows you to customize a receipt template for each of your locations.
To do this:
- Go to Back Office > Settings > Custom receipt.
- Tap to open the Default receipt template, which is applicable if there is no template for a specific location. OR, if you want to design a custom receipt for a specific location, then tap the Add Receipt Template button.
- Now you’re on the Edit Receipt Settings page, where you can customize your receipt within the capabilities that the system provides.
Add company logo to your receipts
In Alto’s, you can add your own company logo to be displayed on receipts. Follow this link to learn more about adding a custom logo to your receipts.
Add header and footer to your receipts
With Alto’s, you can turn your receipts into a personalized marketing tool. Make the most out of your paper or email receipts by adding a custom header and/or footer to your receipts. To do this:
- On the Edit Receipt Settings page, enter your marketing messages in the Header and Footer fields.
Tap Save when you’re done.
You can preview the real look of your customized receipt on the right side of the screen (both print and email).
If you have multiple locations and you want to design a custom receipt for each of them, then you need to undertake the steps described above for each location separately.
Show customer info and comments
By default, customer info and comments on orders entered at sales are not displayed on receipts issued to customers (both printed or emailed). This information can be viewed only by authorized Alto’s users at the Back Office or Point of Sale. However, you can customize your receipt template so that this information is displayed on the customer receipts (both printed or emailed).
To do this:
- On the Edit Receipt Settings page turn the Show customer info and Show comments toggles on.
You can preview the customized receipt on the right side of the screen.
Tap Save when you’re done.
If you have multiple locations and you want to design a custom receipt for each of them, then you need to undertake the steps described above for each location separately.
- Now, if you sell to a customer that is in your database or enter comments on order items, the information will appear on the receipt when you print or email it.
More customization…
- For more customization, on the Edit Receipt Settings page, tap Show more at the bottom of the left screen:
- You can see the list of additional receipt settings in the collapsed list:
- By default, the Show location name toggle is on. You can disable it in order not to remove the location name from the receipt.
- By default, the Show total amount in header toggle is on. You can disable it in order not to show the total amount in the header line of the receipt.
- By default, the total amount of the ticket is not displayed on the bill. By turning on the Show total amount in header (Bill) toggle, you can choose to display the total amount in the header line of the bill.
Note: To preview the look of your bill, choose Bill from the drop down list at the top of the left screen:
- By deault, the date and the number of the receipt are displayed at the bottom of the receipt. Should you want to display this information at the top of the receipt, toggle the Date at the bottom switch off.
- By default, the Use light version toggle is on. When the light version is on only quantity and subtotals are displayed and printing/sending email is faster.
If you disable Use light version details of the order, such as quantity, unit price and subtotal are displayed.
- By default, the receipt is displayed in the language that is chosen in the main Settings (Back Office > Settings > Account). You can change the receipt language to the one available in the system.
- You can add custom rows on your bill by enabling the Custom rows for bills toggle:
Tap the green (+) button to add custom rows. Custom texts can be entered in both the right and the left fields, if necessary.
