I have a convoluted workaround.
1. Go to Account and Settings -->Sales -->Online Delivery
2. Make sure that the Additional Email Options for Invoices is set to Online Invoice.
3. Create all of your invoices but do not email them yet. Make sure that the Online Payments for Cards and Bank Transfers are turned on when creating the Invoices.
4. Go back to the Account and Settings -->Sales -->Online Delivery options and set the Additional Email Options for Invoices to HTML.
5. Go back to the Invoices you just created and email them. When you email them, they will have a View Invoice button in the email but otherwise the email will look fairly close to what you want without the marketing crap that Quickbooks is trying to insert. The customer can click the View Invoice button and it will take them to a Payment page. We added in some text to the email telling our clients to click the View Invoice button to pay.
A couple of things to be aware of. If the Cards and Bank Transfer options in the email gets turned off for an invoice, the email will not include a View Invoice button. If only one of the Cards or Bank Transfer options is turn on, the email will not include a View Invoice button.
We are currently creating all invoices during the day then going back and emailing the invoices at the end of the day. We only generate 5 to 10 invoices a day due to the nature of our work. If you are generating hundreds of invoices, I don't see how these steps would be doable.
This is happening because Quickbooks has decided that they will use these invoice emails as marketing for their products. As far as I am concerned, they need to be paying us marketing fees to use our emails to market their products.
