Reloadable / Revisitable Receipts

v050+ allows you to reload your customer receipts. This can be useful for a few different reasons:

  • Include the link to the receipt in your email receipt by including the ^^receipt_url^^ placeholder.
  • Grab the receipt URL from the XML Datafeed and attach it to your customer record in your own database.
  • Load the receipt from your transaction history in your FoxyCart admin to print it for inclusion as a packing slip (optionally using your own custom print stylesheet to format it correctly for printing).

Worth noting is that any analytics scripts will need to be enclosed in ^^receipt_only_begin^^ and ^^receipt_only_end^^ tags on your receipt template, or sales data (and affiliate payouts) could be logged multiple times for the same order. More information on the new "receipt only" placeholders.
