Document design

Five templates, your logo, your colour, and a preview that is the actual renderer — not a picture of what it might look like.

The preview is the document

Settings → Document design shows a sample document rendered by the same code that produces the PDF, the emailed copy and the customer portal page. There is exactly one renderer. If it looks right here, it is right everywhere — including in the PDF your customer's accountant prints.

What you can change

• Template — five structures, from classic to compact. This changes the layout, not just the colours.
• Accent colour — anything. Text sitting on the accent flips between white and black automatically by contrast, so a pale colour still reads.
• Paper — A4 or US Letter, and a background: none, a tint, or a watermark.
• Logo — PNG, JPEG, WebP or SVG, under 2 MB. It goes on documents and in emails.
• What shows — the unit column, the item code, line numbers, the payment link, notes, the thank-you line. Turn off what you do not use; an empty column looks like a mistake.

Per document, when a customer insists

One document can override the organisation template. Open it and change it there — useful when a large customer has agreed a particular look, and much better than keeping a second account for them.

Our name on your documents

On the free plan a small grey line under the document says it was invoiced with Oltrano. It sits outside the page, it does not print, and it disappears by itself the day you start paying — you do not have to ask. If you pay and want to keep it, there is a switch.

The stamp

A drawn company stamp, bottom right, if you want one. That has its own guide: company stamp.
