Overview

Your invoices are your business card. With the template system you design the logo, colors, font and layout – all the way to a free-positioning editor. For each document type (invoice, cancellation, quote, order confirmation) you manage your own templates.

Template management

Under "Settings" → "Templates" section → "Invoices" you'll find your invoice templates – the system templates "Rechnung — Standard" (DE) and "Invoice — Default" (EN) are included. For each template you have: Edit, Copy, Preview (as a PDF), "Check layout for postal delivery" and Set as default (★). The quickest way to create your own template is to copy a system template.

What you can design

• Logo and background – your own template logo or a full-page stationery design
• Colors – primary and secondary color for headings and accents
• Typography – font family and size
• Page format – format and orientation
• Line-item table – which columns appear in which order
• Free-form editor – place text, image, table and line elements freely, including visibility conditions and a tax breakdown

The default layout

Without any customization, Kyvento provides a DIN 5008-compatible layout: a recipient field for the window envelope, your logo with company name, address and VAT ID, a metadata block (invoice number, date, due date, customer number), the line-item table, a totals block showing tax and credit, plus a footer with your bank details.

Where the logo comes from

You maintain your central company logo under "Settings" → "Account" – it appears automatically on all documents that don't have their own template logo. The "Branding" tab, by contrast, only affects the appearance of the customer portal, not the PDF documents.
