The steps listed in the "Required Setup" section must be successfully completed to launch the widget (i.e., use the tool).
You can complete the steps in the "Additional Setup" at any time, as launching the widget is not dependent on these steps being completed.

Payments

Select the type of document that you use for invoicing. If choosing Pro Forma Invoice/PO, you can also choose what to call the document.
New Invoice Details
New Invoice Details
In the Settings section, Payments and Taxes, we have added a new block called Invoice details while keeping the current version intact.
The Invoice details block provides a more adaptable way to showcase information on the invoice. We have added 9 text areas:
The first text area is the body section, occupying 100% width of the invoice and located immediately after the price block.
Following that is the Footer block, where we have placed 8 text areas. Each of them is adaptive and adjusts its width according to the content.
As illustrated in the screenshot below, when, for instance, two fields are completed in the first row and three fields in the second row, the content will be evenly and proportionally distributed across the document's width.
We have saved the current invoice processing method, and this block (Invoice details Deprecated) is now located at the bottom of the page, right after the new "Invoice details" block.
For both the old and new invoice blocks, the rule applies that if at least one field from the new "Invoice Details" block is filled, fields from the old block will not be displayed on the PDF invoice - only information from the new block will be shown.
Note: More Payment & Taxes options available in the Advance Setup section

Additional Setup
Grace Period
Grace Period
The Grace period identifies when customers will be notified of their requirement to pay for the order.
For example, If the Grace period status is set to PO Provided and the grace period is 30 Days. The countdown begins when the PO has been received, and the order status is changed to PO Provided.
Day 28 - An email reminder is sent to the customer stating they must pay in 2 days.
Day 30 - An email reminder is sent stating the payment is due.
Taxes
Taxes
In the taxes section, there are a number of options to choose depending on if and how you charge tax.
Automated Sales Tax Estimation
This determines the proper tax rate for every customer automatically. It handles important sales tax rules like origin-based versus destination-based locations and additional rate requirements determined by zip code.
You can also select if you charge tax on shipping and if you require a Tax number from your customer.
Order Settings
Order Settings
Here, you can set minimum order limits for your online store and per-part fees that are applied to all parts.
The pre-offer title is what you call the order when it has been sent to you for review. This is displayed at the checkout stage to identify that your order has gone for manual review.
The offer title is what you call your quote or offer.
Order Review
Order Review
You can choose when payments are made for orders that require manual reviews.
Instant Payment
This will prompt the customer to pay for the order before it is submitted to you for manual review.
Payment After Manual Review
This prompts the customer to submit the order for manual review and doesn't require payment. Once you have reviewed the order, you can then send an offer with a payment link.
Payment or manual review Decided by the customer
This allows the customer to pay or submit the order for review without payment.
Manual Review Threshold
Orders over the selected amount will automatically be flagged for manual review. This allows you to check them before committing to large quanitties or high-value orders.

Packing List Options
Packing List Options
The packing list can be used as a 'traveler' during the manufacturing process, and a packing note can be used to inform the customer of what they are receiving. You can add additional checks to the packing list for technicians or your quality department to sign.
To add these additional checks, type the name of the check, for example, "Part Finish", and click enter.
This check will then be added to the packing list.
