How to password protect your invoices

With AppointmentGuru you can password protect your invoices. This will encrypt the pdf files that are sent via email as well as adding an additional layer of security to the invoice view webpage

How it works

When an invoice is password protected, the following will happen:

  • PDFs sent to your clients will be password protected using the password that you set
  • The invoice webpage will be password protected with the same password
  • When sending the invoice to medical aid (using invoice -> send to medical aid), the PDF will not be password protected

Steps:

When creating an invoice:

  • When creating an invoice, on the confirmation screen
  • Expand the panel: "password protect"
    • You can then enter a password
      • If the information is available, we will provide you with some useful options (e.g.: the client's ID number, phone number or email address)
    • You can also provide a password hint to help the client know what password to use.

    • Optionally add a password hint

Changing or viewing the password on an encrypted invoice
