You can set up your Qualpay account to automatically send email receipts to your customers whenever a transaction is processed. It is a good practice to send receipts to customers at the time of payment. You can resend a receipt anytime by locating the transaction in the Transactions report.
We support different email receipt profiles that match a Qualpay Payment Profile. The Qualpay Payment Gateway and Checkout support the Profile ID passing to identify which email receipt profile to use. This is a useful feature when supporting multiple product brands on the same account.
For those who do not use Qualpay products to initiate transactions, please refer to your third-party payment gateway portal to access your receipt settings.
Receipt Configuration
To configure your receipts for Qualpay products - Qualpay Checkout, Virtual Terminal, Payment Gateway, Invoicing, or Recurring Billing:
- Select Administration from the main menu.

The initial Receipt Profile is the Default profile used by all products. Qualpay has prefilled minimal information by default, just in case you start sending receipts before you configure this section for your account.
In the Receipts tab, you can customize the table's attributes below and select Save Receipt Profile.
To create an additional Receipt Profile:
- Click New Receipt Profile.
- Enter a Receipt Label for your reference.
- Select one or more Payment Profiles from the Payment Profiles drop-down.
- Customize the attributes in the table below and select Create Receipt Profile.
Once a new Receipt Profile is created, you can switch between the available profiles using the drop-down at the Receipts page's top left-hand side. When viewing a Receipt Profile other than the default, you will have the option to change the status from Active to Disabled.
