Click “Add New” to create a New Receipt Template or “Edit” for an existing Receipt.
On this page, there are two columns of meta boxes. On the left is the specific data that you would like to be displayed and on the right is the preview of the receipt as well as an option to upload a logo to be displayed on the receipt.
The preview changes as you configure the options to the left. There will be information taken from the logged in user to display how it would look like if you served the order, this is dynamic information and so would not be shown on the real receipt.
Items in [square brackets] represent the data from the order such as date, time and register name.
