Hi, I'm asking Quickbooks to give users the ability to customize more the invoices sent to the customers.

 

- Change logo size

- Remove company name when using your logo

- Remove all Quickbooks branding

- Custom HTML signature

- Custom fields

 

Quickbooks default emails makes us look unprofessional in front of our customers.

 

This needs to be updated.

Hello, Anonyme.

 

I appreciate sharing your ideas on how to improve the customization options for emailed invoices. I'll share some details with you regarding the current options, and help you ensure your feedback is sent to the appropriate department. 

 

You can still change the logo size, remove the company name and use the custom fields. If you haven't done it yet, you would just need to edit your invoice template and make the changes. 

 

To change the logo size: 

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, then select Custom form styles
  2. Find your template, then click on Edit
  3. Go to the Design tab, then expand the Make logo edits section.
  4. Set it to small, medium or large. 
  5. Select your preferred placement.
  6. Click Save

 

To remove the company name:

 

  1. Go to the Content tab.
  2. On the preview image, click the first section.
  3. Uncheck the Business name box.
  4. Hit Save

 

To use custom fields: 

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon menu again.
  2. Select Custom fields. 
  3. Click the Add custom field  or Add field button.
  4. Set a name for the custom field.
  5. Check the All Sales forms box, and if necessary, toggle the Print on form option to On.
  6. Once done, click Save

 

Your custom field will show up on your sales forms. If you toggled the Print on form option, your customer will see it. Otherwise, they will only appear when you create a transaction. 

 

If the current options don't quite fit with your needs, I would recommend sending feedback directly to our developers.

 

You can submit your ideas on how you want to change the logo size, the option to remove QuickBooks branding, add an HTML signature and more custom fields. 

 

They'll review your invoice customization ideas, and they might consider adding them in the future. Simply click on the Gear icon, then select Feedback

I just got quickbooks online (11/2022) and there is no custom form option.  Is this option only for certain quicken products?  Seems help may be for older accounts and cutom forms no longer offered in Labs.

Thanks for joining this thread, @JWM57. Let me provide some insights about custom form options.

 

Custom form styles are available for any QuickBooks Online versions. With different sample designs, you can import and then add your company info (such as the company logo) to highlight your brand. This feature helps reflect your brand identity into your sales forms with less effort and time.

 

You can design and import your custom form style in QuickBooks. To learn more about this, please check out this resource: Import custom form styles for invoices or estimates. It contains steps to map your template fields and fix errors when uploading them.

 

If you're using Quicken, I suggest going to their Community page or contacting their support for further guidance. 

 

Moreover, let me share these relevant articles you can utilize in the future to manage your invoices and other sales forms:

 

 

Fill me in if you have other questions about using the custom form styles. I'll be happy to help you always. Keep safe!

Consider having a free invoicing app as a workaround and integrate it with your QBO.
