Branding allows businesses that operate multiple sales outlets, websites or trading names to present different company details, contact information and logos to customers.

For example, if your organisation sells through multiple websites or brands, Branding enables Khaos Control to display the correct company information on documents such as invoices, order confirmations and other customer-facing reports.

For an overview of Branding, see Branding.

For setup instructions, see How To: Setup Branding.

If you require this functionality, please contact the Development team.
