Locales Configuration Example

Summary

Locales allow you to define translations for product names in multiple languages. Locales are attached to invoice templates so that the translations are presented on the invoice when it is sent to an account billing contact.

Next Steps

• Optional: if you wish to define custom payment types you can do so now or at a later date. See the Payment Types Configuration Example for instructions on how to add a payment type

• Optional: if you need to integrate the LogiSense Billing application with an external payment gateway you can do so. See the Payment Gateway Configuration Example for instructions on how to configure a gateway. This step is not an essential base configuration step and can be performed at a later time if desired

• SMTP settings need to be configured so that users you setup can be emailed. See the SMTP Settings Configuration Example for instructions on how to setup and test SMTP Settings
