I need to have the description of an item show on the invoice rather than just repeating the name. Is this possible?

So I'm an independent contractor for a sales company and my invoices are only going to be going to the company. It's only one product (a sign up). So I was looking for the product name to be sign up and then have the description below say the name of the person signed up. But when I put the description in, it does not show on the invoice. It only repeats the product name. Can someone help?

Let me help you with your invoices, antoniofata96-gm.

 

QuickBooks Online allows you to customize the sales forms including the invoice. I'll show you how to include the description:

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Custom form styles.
  2. Find the invoice template you're using and click Edit.
  3. From the Content tab, click the body section (middle part) of the preview.
  4. Check the Description box and select Done to save it.

 

Once done, open the invoice again and preview it. For your reference, here's how to customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.
