# Custom Receipt

> Customize the donation receipt email sent to donors after each transaction.

## Overview

By default, Dime Payments sends a standard receipt email to donors after each successful donation. Custom Receipt lets you replace that with a branded email using your organization's logo, voice, and contact information.

Go to **Settings > Custom Receipt** and toggle **Enable Custom Receipt** on.

## Configuring your receipt

**Logo** -- upload your organization's logo (JPEG, PNG, 2MB max).

**Subject** -- the email subject line donors see in their inbox. Keep it clear and recognizable -- donors search for receipts at tax time.

**Body** -- the main message. Write in your organization's voice and use variables to personalize each receipt automatically.

**Signature** -- the closing block, typically your organization name and contact info.

## Available variables

| Variable           | What it inserts                     |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| `{first_name}`     | Donor's first name                  |
| `{last_name}`      | Donor's last name                   |
| `{amount}`         | Donation amount (e.g. \$50.00)      |
| `{date}`           | Date of the donation                |
| `{item}`           | Giving category (e.g. General Fund) |
| `{transaction_id}` | Transaction ID for reference        |

## Example

```
Subject: Thank you for your gift to {item}, {first_name}

Dear {first_name},

Thank you for your generous gift of {amount} to our {item} on {date}.
Your support makes our ministry possible.

In His service,
