Open the order's invoices
In the order window, open the ⋮ in the strip and choose Invoices (it moves out of the ⋮ once the order has one). Invoices lists every invoice on the order — number, status, description, dates, amount and balance.
Make an invoice
Press the round + and choose:
- Order Invoice — filled from the sold quote.
- Closing Invoice — filled from the closing's figures (shown once the order has a closing).
- Custom Invoice — starts blank, for anything else.
Then check New invoice:
- Send To — the customer's name, email and phone, filled from the order. Change Address swaps to the order's other address; the company block (Company Name, Company Email, Company Phone) is for a business customer.
- Date of Issue and Due Date (or Due on receipt).
- The lines: Item, Description, Unit Cost, Qty, a Discount per line, and Line Total. Add and remove lines as needed.
- Tax, and Include Order Payments to take off what the customer already paid on the order.
- Notes Visible for Clients and terms.
- Mark as paid if it's already settled.
Finish with Save As Draft or Proceed To Send Invoice.
When your company charges the card fee on invoices, the total shows it — for example Total (+3% processing fee).
You need the permission to create invoices (You don't have a permission to create an invoice otherwise).
What the customer gets
An email with a link to their invoice. From it they Pay now: they enter a card and press Confirm & Pay $…. The card fee is added when your company charges it on invoices, and on an order's invoice they can add a tip for the crew. The payment lands on the invoice and the order straight away.
Take a payment on it yourself
In the order's Invoices list, use the invoice's actions to pay it — the Payments window opens just for that invoice (Payments (Invoice #…)). This needs the permission to take a payment on an invoice.
