# Brand your GST invoices

GST Manager ships with **sample placeholder** identity and bank details so the invoice template
looks complete out of the box. Those samples are *not* yours — if you don't replace them, they
print on real customer invoices. This guide makes sure every invoice carries your own business
identity and the correct account to pay into.

::: warning Replace the samples before you invoice
The wizard pre-fills examples such as `+91-1234567890` and PAN `ABCDE1234F`. If you skipped the
identity step, those placeholders appear on real invoices. Always set your own values.

## 1. Set your Footer & Identity

Go to **Addons → GST Manager → System Setup → Footer & Identity** and enter the details printed
in your invoice footer:

* **Phone** and **email** — how customers reach you.
* **PAN** — your Permanent Account Number (your business tax identity).
* **CIN / LLPIN** — your Corporate Identity Number (companies) or LLP Identification Number
  (limited liability partnerships), if applicable.

## 2. Set per-currency Bank Details

Go to **System Setup → Bank Details** and enter your remittance/bank details. You can configure
**different details per invoice currency**, so a client paying in INR sees your domestic account
while an overseas client paying in another currency sees the right international account.

::: tip Do this once, benefit forever
Both sections apply to every future invoice PDF automatically — set them correctly now and you
never think about it again.

## About the client-area bank details

Your bank details can also appear on the **client-area invoice view**, so customers can pay you
directly. This client-area display is a **license-gated feature**: it shows only while your GST
Manager license is active. The check runs locally, so a brief licensing-server hiccup won't turn
it off; if your license is genuinely inactive, the bank details simply stop showing on the
client invoice until the license is restored. Your invoicing and reports keep working
regardless. See [Licensing](/gst-manager-whmcs/licensing) for how to keep your license active.
