Although "invoice" and "statement" seem very similar, and the descriptions of the reports are also similar, there are some important differences between the two standard reports.
Buyer Invoices:
- This is designed to be used for a "bill" for the buyer, before any payments are made.
- Each invoice is tied to one sale order. If your fair has multiple sale orders, an invoice would have to be created for each one.
- The sale address is included on the invoice in the upper left. If you need to add/change that, you can do that on the Sale menu, Order tab--the list of sale options on the right side of the screen.
- Credit card payments made through FairEntry/Stripe are not reflected on this report, since it is specific to one sale order, and credit card payments are not linked to a specific sale order, only to the buyer.
Buyer Statements:
- This is designed to be used for a "receipt" for the buyer.
- Buyer statements list all payments and purchases made by the buyer, without regard to a specific sale order.
- Credit card payments made through FairEntry/Stripe ARE reflected on this report.
