Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 10, 20222 yr I just have a simple question. Guests go click on subscriptions and it creates an invoice that is pending with absolutely no contact information. I click 'cancel' since if I click on 'delete' I get a warning message to cancel before I delete, so I do that, cancel then delete. What is the issue if I just delete and not cancel? And is there anyway to reduce the number of these bogus guest subscriptions that do nothing but take up time to delete? Any ideas?
April 11, 20222 yr Solution If you allow guest purchase, there isnt really any way to reduce those unfortunately. Invoices must be cancelled first, in order to ensure it updates other areas properly

Cancel then delete is such a tedious extra step. I want to be sure I understand the caveats of simply delete and NOT cancel. Edited April 20, 20222 yr by bradybarrows

As mentioned by opentype above, I Would ask yourself why you want to delete them anyway. It can be very handy to cancel items rather than delete, as you then always have a trace of everything that is happening on your site.

I have no idea why anyone would do this but they do. I like to see the actual paid invoices and keep them of course and there are way more useless invoices from guests.
