Preview and Send

Choose one of the following:

  • Save & Send - emails the invoice to your client with a PDF attachment and a Pay Now link (if Stripe is connected)
To preview an invoice before sending, save it as a draft first, then click the three-dot menu on the invoice row and select View.

Draft vs. Send

Save as Draft

Saves without sending. Edit anytime. Find drafts under Invoices → Draft tab.

Send Invoice

Emails the invoice to your client with a PDF attachment and a Pay Now link (if Stripe is connected).

Invoice statuses

Payment tracking

  • Mark as paid - manually record that payment was received
  • Record partial payment - track multiple payments against one invoice
  • Auto-reconcile - if Stripe is connected, payments are matched to invoices automatically

Client payment experience

When you send an invoice, your client receives:
  1. An email with the invoice details
  2. A Pay Now link (if Stripe connected) — no login required
  3. A professional payment page where they can pay by card or bank transfer
  4. A confirmation page after successful payment
Set clear due dates. “Net 15” or “Net 30” are common. Shorter terms generally mean faster payments.
