## Template editor

The Receipt Template editor has two panels:

* **Left panel:** Template settings, sections, and HTML customisation fields.
* **Right panel:** Live preview of how the receipt will look when printed.

## Template actions

| Action                     | Description                              |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Create New Template**    | Start a new blank receipt template       |
| **Load Existing Template** | Load a previously saved template to edit |

Enter a **Template Name** before saving.

## Receipt sections

Each section of the receipt can be toggled on or off and customised with optional HTML:

| Section                 | Description                                          |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Business Header**     | Your business name, address, and logo at the top     |
| **Order Information**   | Transaction reference number and date                |
| **Order Items**         | The products or services included in the transaction |
| **Totals**              | Subtotal, tax, and final total                       |
| **Payment Information** | Payment method and amount paid                       |

## Customising a section

Each section has:

* A toggle to enable or disable it
* A **Custom HTML** field for adding or overriding the default content
* A **Recommended Variables** panel showing available template variables you can insert (e.g. `{{order.tranid}}`, `{{date}}`)

Click a variable chip to insert it into the HTML editor.

## Saving a template

Click **Save** at the top of the page. The template appears in the **Available Templates** list below.

## Available Templates list

Shows all saved receipt templates. Each entry displays the template name, type (receipt), and last modified date. Use **Load** to open a template for editing, or the delete button to remove it.

## Tips

* Use the live preview on the right to check your layout before saving. The preview updates as you type.
* Switch between **Visual** and **Code** view in the preview panel to inspect the rendered HTML.
* Keep receipts concise: only include the sections your customers need.
* Use the **Recommended Variables** chips to ensure variable names are correct. Manually typed variables may not resolve if there's a typo.
