Automate sending paper invoices to the VISP Printhouse if you want VISP to print and send the paper invoices to your customers. Simply set the number of days after the invoices are generated, when you want them sent to the VISP print house for printing. A charge will be applied to your account for this transaction, so you must have an existing deposit equal to your estimated print house transactions before enabling this option. After putting a check mark or enabling the “Automatically send the recurring invoices to the print house” option, reach out to your VISP client success team to discuss adding a deposit to your account for invoice printing.
