We last introduced HTML Invoice Templates to the Zuora Community at our December 2021 Table Talk with additional resources in our HTML Invoice Template community group. Fast forward to September 2023, we have several exciting updates which we shared in our most recent office hour with Alexis Camanga, Associate Product Manager, Dong Han, Software Engineering Manager, and Tony Shen, Senior Software Engineer.

If you missed this session, please see the video and presentation below.  We've also posted the session's Q&A in the HTML Invoice Template discussion group here.

Export Template: Commonly-Used Examples

@Alexis Camanga created a template that covers the syntax along with more examples commonly used in HTML invoice templates so you won’t need to recreate them or start from scratch including formatting, the if/then statement using fields (example below) and others:

EXAMPLES

If / Then Statement using fields (i.e. account currency)

If the account currency is USD then print this statement and the subtotal, else print the following statement

{{#Wp_Eval}}
"{{Invoice.Account.Currency}}" == 'USD' 
? 
'Print this statement if the account currency is USD <br><br>Subtotal: {{Invoice.Account.Currency|Symbol}}{{Invoice.AmountWithoutTax|Localise}}'
: 
'Print the following statement if the account currency is not USD (CAD)'
{{/Wp_Eval}}

If / Then statement using fields (i.e. rate plan charge type)

If the charge is a usage charge print “something different”, else print “x because charge is one time or recurring”

{{ChargeName}}
Charge Type: 
{{#Wp_Eval}}
"{{RatePlanCharge.ChargeType}}" == "Usage" 
? 
"Something Different" 
: 
"Print X because charge is One Time or Recurring"

{{/Wp_Eval}}
