When you've chosen a template you will see the layout settings for this template below. It consists of a header - with the template name and margins above and below - and a layout screen.
You can change your invoice layout in different ways. The invoice layout always consists of three types of elements:
Besides content and layout elements, you can also add images to your invoice template in several ways.
• Logo: To add your company logo to your invoice layout, you first need to upload the logo to Billit. To do this, click the 'General' submenu under the 'Settings' menu. In the 'General' section, you can upload the logo by clicking the 'Browse' button and selecting the file on your computer. File types you can upload are .png, .jpg, .jpeg and .tif. The recommended dimensions for your logo are: width: 400px and height: 200px.
• Background images: a background image is best compared to letterhead paper. The image is displayed across the background of your entire invoice page. Besides .png, .jpg, .jpeg and .tif, you can also insert a PDF image for this. Make sure the aspect ratio of your background image is the same as that of an A4 page. In the 'Margin in mm' fields, you can set a margin to push the content of your invoice down or up. This way, you can make sure the content of your invoice sits a little lower or higher so that the top or bottom of your background image stays visible.
• Separate images: You can also insert images in other places in your layout. To do this, use the image button in the formatting bar.
After you click this button, you can enter the URL where your image can be found.
If you don't have your own server to upload images to, you can first add the image as an attachment to your company details. To do this, click 'Add' in the 'Attachments' section under your company details and select the image on your computer.
Once you've added the image to your company details, you can copy the image URL by right-clicking the date on which you uploaded the image and then clicking 'copy link location'. You can then paste the URL into the URL field of the window that opens when you want to add a separate image to your invoice layout.
• A final type of image you can add to your invoice is product images. For this, you first need to add images to your products. You can find more info about adding images to a product here. Since product images depend on the products on your invoice, you need to use a key for this. To add the key to your invoice, you proceed the same way as for content text elements. Click the place in the invoice layout where you want the product image to appear, and then click the key for product images in the list on the right. The key for product images is $Line.image$.
