26. Import Invoices from Bookings: Import the old invoice to the new structure. This allows you to import/migrate any existing bookings to this addon so you can manage them right here; simply click on the button and the whole process will be taken care of automatically within a few seconds

Note: In case you weren’t able to download PDFs after you’ve set up this addon, you need to make sure of two things:
The PDF’s API needs to be correct
The need to update permalinks from the WordPress Settings > Permalinks even if they are correct

Note: If you’ve made CSS changes and they haven’t been applied then we urge you to check your CSS code’s structure and then check the cache.

We will continue the tutorial on how to work with this addon below and will probably have to refer to the features listed above with their corresponding number.
Make sure to follow the instructions below and save your changes made in the settings.

Once your invoice template is created and done, all you need to do is create an invoice. To do so go to your WordPress Dashboard > MEC Invoice > Invoices

Here you can see all the bookings; this is similar to the Booking menu on MEC.

Explaining the numbers in the image above:

• In order to manually add an invoice click on Add New
• Use this option to export all your invoices in a zip file
• You can also use bulk action and use filters during the selection
• To check the invoice click on View Invoice
• To manage the invoice click on the link

If you click on Manage, you’ll see the image below:

Explaining the numbers in the image above:

• The invoice’s information
• The attendees depending on the role you’re assigned, can go into MEC and perform the check-in process

Checking-in can also be done via QR code scanning once the attendee shows you their QR code.
This can also be done using a QR Reader or third-party apps for Android and iOS.

Place the QR code in front of the camera, it will either check in the user or give you a warning if there is an issue. Therefore, any chance of duplicates or fraud is eliminated since no one can simply create their own QR code and try to get in.
Once the attendee has checked in, it’ll show the invoice as green and there will also be this icon:

In order to manually add a new invoice, click on Add New and then select your event. Afterward, you’ll see the tickets for that event and you can use the form which has appeared to add a new invoice.

By clicking on Add Attendee, you’ll add a new user to your website but your invoice isn’t complete yet. You’ll need to publish the invoice in order to complete the process.
