Invoices

Create, send, and manage invoices for custom billing.

Invoices are for billing clients outside of standard pricing options — custom amounts, one-off projects, or any situation where you need to send a bill with specific line items.

Create an invoice

  1. Go to Setup → Pricing Options → Invoices or from a client's profile
  2. Click Create Invoice
  3. Add:
    • Recipient — search for an existing client or enter an email
    • Line items — description and amount for each item
    • Due date — when payment is expected
    • Notes — any instructions or context
  4. Click Send Invoice

The client receives an email with the invoice details and a link to pay by card.

Mark as paid manually

If a client pays by cash, check, or bank transfer:

  1. Open the invoice
  2. Click Mark as paid
  3. Select the payment method and date

This updates the invoice status without charging their card.

Viewing outstanding invoices

Go to Reporting → All Payments and filter by payment type "Invoice" to see all invoices and their statuses. You can also see invoices on individual client profiles.

Recurring invoices

For clients you bill on a regular schedule, consider creating a monthly membership pricing option instead — it handles billing automatically without you needing to send an invoice each cycle.
