⚠️ This Article is About Customer Invoices, Not Your Dash Subscription

This article covers invoices and receipts you generate and send to your own members or customers, NOT your DaySmart Dash subscription bill. If you're looking for help with your monthly Dash subscription invoice, billing questions, or payment method setup, see the Account Payment Method Management article instead.


📝 Overview

When a transaction is completed, receipt emails are sent automatically to the customer's email address on file. This article explains the types of receipt emails customers receive, when each is triggered, and how to resend or forward invoices manually.


📧 Automatic Emails

Dash automatically sends receipt emails to the customer's email address on file when a transaction occurs. The type of receipt a customer receives depends on the nature of the transaction.

✍️ Invoice and Receipt Email Content is Not Configurable

The subject line, title, and text content of invoice and receipt emails are all set by Dash and cannot be customized by your facility. This applies whether emails are sent automatically at the time of purchase or resent manually later. All automated invoices and receipts will use the system-generated format.

📨 How Automatic Receipts Work

When a customer first purchases an item or registers for a program, whether through the Admin side or through the Customer Portal, they receive a full itemized invoice with payment details sent automatically to their email address on file.

If a customer is making a payment toward an existing invoice, the receipt they receive is a brief summary showing how much was paid, along with a link to their online account billing page to view the full invoice. Because the customer already knows what they signed up for, the itemized details are not repeated in this case.

📊 Summary vs. Itemized Emails

Click the arrow to learn about summary vs. itemized email formats

When resending an invoice, you can choose between two email formats:

  • Summary: Condenses all line items into a single line rather than listing each one individually.

  • Itemized: Displays every line item along with full payment details. This is the same format the customer received at the time of their original purchase.
