  • Click the Generate Invoice button to download the invoice onto your computer or view it online. The Generate Invoice window will open and you can either View or Download the invoice in HTML or as a PDF file. Unless you work with second languages, you will almost always use the Default Template for your invoices. Contact Support at 704-405-5089 if you have questions.

  • Click the Email Invoice button to email the invoice to your customer directly from the Admin. The Email Invoice window will open. You should almost always use the Default template. The email address of the customer will automatically populate in the To field, and you can CC (copy) or BCC (blind copy) other email addresses as needed. By default the Subject will be the Invoice Number, but you can adjust that if you like. The Body of the message will be the default text found in the Admin app under Settings > Invoice Settings, but you can adjust it manually if needed. The Admin will automatically attach a PDF file of the invoice for the customer. Click the Send button when your message is ready.
