      How to add the PencilPay link to your DEAR Sale Invoice Template

      Prerequisites

      1. You will need an active DEAR connection with PencilPay.
      2. Check you have enabled "Enable Deposit Payments" in your PencilPay DEAR configuration. To do this log into your PencilPay account and go to: Integrations -> DEAR -> scroll down to "Enable Deposit Payments" and check it is enabled. If it isn't, enabled it.
      3. Once "Enable Deposit Payments" is enabled, you will need to check the setting "Order Authorisation Push to Pencil" is Enabled. If it isn't, enable it.
      4. Then you to confirm what percentage of the quote you would like your customers to pay. We recommend setting this to 100% and leave "Auto-Send Email on Authorise Quote?" disabled.
      5. Under "Payment Link" remember where to find the "Invoice" as you will need this link below. For the Invoice template the link is different to the Quote and Order links.
      6. Save any changes if you have made them before proceeding to the next step.
      7. You will need Microsoft Word to edit the template file.
      8. See screenshot below for prerequisite references.
