Written by Nate H

Easily send professional invoices to your customers from the Web or Mobile app. Review and customize what customers see, add multiple recipients, and include photos or documents as attachments. You can choose to send the invoice by email or text, and if you’re set up with our credit card processor, you can even let customers pay online!


Send an Invoice: Video Tutorial


Send an Invoice (Web)

  • Open a Job to view the Job details page.

  • Click Invoice in the action bar at the top of the page. Alternatively, click the blue Send invoice button in the Invoice section.

  • Ensure the settings are correct and toggle on or off the items you'd like to be adjusted within the customer view of the invoice, as well as payment options.

  • Add any attachments (photos, documents, or checklists) you'd like to send from the job by clicking on the paperclip icon.

📌 Note: Attachments must already be added to the job itself before having the option to add to the invoice

  • Review and edit the following information as needed:

    • Details

    • Attachments

    • Invoice message

    • Payment options

    • Job and invoice

    • Business and customer

    • Services

    • Materials

  • When you're ready, click Send in the top right corner of the invoice preview.

  • From the screen, you'll be able to: 

    • Choose if you'd like to send the invoice via email or text.

    • Edit the invoice subject line or message.

    • Type additional email addresses into the 'To' field. (Separate email addresses with a comma.)

👉 Want to send the invoice by text? A few things need to be set up first:

  • Your account has text messaging turned on and approved

  • The customer has a number saved in the Mobile field — home and work numbers can't receive texts.

  • The invoice can be paid online. At least one online payment option (credit/debit card or bank transfer/ACH) must be turned on for that invoice. If online payments are off, the text option won't show up — you can still send the invoice by email.

  • If a customer has replied STOP to your texts, they won't receive new ones.

📌 Note: You can only send the invoice via email OR text, not both at the same time. Although you can send to multiple email addresses, you can only send the text to one number at a time.

  • Click Send in the bottom right corner of the window.
