Merchant tags

[Theo Kiers]

Hi,

I am editing an invoice and there are serveral Merchant tags, like Merchant.addres, Merchant.phone. But I have found no place where to enter the corresponding data.

Can anybody tell me how this works?

Regards,

Theo

Hi Theo,

I couldn't find it either - Plugins/Invoices/Invoice template/edit/new (thanks John).

So on the invoice where it has #{Merchant.company} Just delete this tag and add Company Name??

Thanks

Hi Mike,

On my main installation, there is a sample_template in a drop down box that has most if not all the necessary fields laid out.

The merchant name is the name of the the admin or hosted account holder #{Merchant.company}

Further down is the customer block with the customer company name #{Customer.company}

Maybe I don't understand the original problem (has been know occasionally :-)).

Correct on the tags..

The question is Where does the Merchant Information get parsed from.

#{Merchant.address}
#{Merchant.city}
#{Merchant.state}
#{Merchant.zipcode}

I see no setting in Profile>Merchant setting other than Site Name.

I tested and it pulls Customer Info from Order Form, but no Merchant Info.

Hi Mike,

Good question, I will investigate.

Yep! Michael has a way with words. That is what I meant.

Hi Guys,

I have just had a look at the database (my one has 121 tables) and the only table that I would guess that this info should be in - does not have the necessary fields.

The only suggestions I have are:

1. Switch to Member mode whilst logged in as administrator and make sure the info is filled in under Account/My Affiliate Settings and see if that gives the required info for the invoice.

2. If not the above then limit invoice capability to affiliate sales only through an affiliate account or reseller account and/or use the Affiliate Tag Group in place of all but the Merchant Company name in the invoice template.

3. Post in the Bugs forum as fields missing for the Invoice Plugin.

Member/Account/My Affiliate Settings did the Job..

Hi Mike,

Nah - no genius just exposure to the way John thinks - not sure if that is a good or bad thing lol.

Hi Brian.

I had a look there too but figured that couldn't be it. I should have tried.

Would be a good thing though if a reference is made in the 'list of additional tags' popup After 'Merchant Tag Group'. Something like "Edit in: Membermode>>Account>>My Affiliate Settings".
