Why Don't Descriptions Print On Invoices?

[M0rewinePlease]

Hi there, 

I've put in descriptions on invoices for discounts and items and they don't show up when the invoice is printed. Why?

Hi @M0rewinePlease.  I’ll admit that I missed the memo on this one! LOL  But here’s the answer I came upon that works for me.

You need to go to your Dashboard > Account & Settings > Business Information > Receipts.  Scroll down to the “Items and total” section and toggle on “Show item description.”  

Yes, I know this makes no logical sense, since receipts and invoices aren’t necessarily the same.  But according to a note I found in one of the invoices screen (see screen shot), doing this will cause Square Invoices to start showing descriptions.
