For our customers in France: a new law entering in force on 1st of January 2023 will forbid the printing of order receipts or card receipts unless the end customers has explicitly required them.
Solution
Summary
Currently, the card receipt is printed systematically during order closure, The order receipt is printed if it has been configured in the documents to send (menu Initialisation > Documents to send in Institution or Organisation context). The order receipt can be reprinted from the file detail as any other document.
A new law entering in force on 1st of January 2023 will forbid the printing of order receipts or card receipts unless the end customers has explicitly required them. In order to comply with this law, the behaviour will be modified as follows:
- During order closure, neither the order receipt nor the card receipt will be printed, even if the order receipt has been defined in the documents to send. A warning is displayed in the document shipping section of the cart to remind the operator that the order receipt won't be printed.
- The Previous file feature has been extended to allow the printing of the receipts. In other words, if an end customer requires a copy of the receipts, you will just have to click on Previous file and print them.
The Previous file extension is also available for customers outside of France but with a different behaviour. The behaviour of SecuTix is summarised in the table below:
| New mode "Print only on request" | Previous behaviour | |
|---|---|---|
| Order closure | Neither card receipt, nor order receipt is printed | Card receipt is printed Order receipt is printed if defined in the documents to send |
| Previous file > Print receipt | Both receipts are printed | Order receipt is printed |
Customers outside of France may use the new mode "Print only on request" but don't have to.

- In the sales-reservation and exchange-cancellation screens:
