How it works

Three steps, about two minutes

The gap between finishing the work and getting paid is mostly admin. This removes the admin.

Step 1

Fill in the work

Pick the customer, add line items, and let the totals and tax work themselves out. Saved details fill most of it in for you.

Step 2

Choose how it looks

Swap the template and the accent colour to something that matches your business, then preview exactly what your customer will open.

Step 3

Send it with a payment link

The invoice goes out with a link to pay by card. You see the status change the moment they do.

After you send

Know what is paid, and what is not

Every invoice carries a status: draft, sent, viewed, paid, overdue. The dashboard totals what is outstanding so you can see at a glance who owes you and for how long, and send a reminder without writing the email yourself.

  • Outstanding and overdue totals on one screen
  • Automatic payment reminders on the schedule you set
  • Card payments through Stripe, PayPal or Square

Send your first invoice in about two minutes

No account, no credit card, and no setup before you can bill someone.

Why it matters

What changes when invoicing is not a chore

Billing stops slipping to the weekend

When an invoice takes two minutes instead of half an hour, it goes out the day the work finishes rather than whenever you get around to it.

Paying you takes one click

A payment link in the invoice removes the step where your customer means to pay you and then forgets for three weeks.

Reminders you do not have to write

Overdue invoices chase themselves on the schedule you set, so you are not the one sending the awkward email.

The numbers match your books

A paid invoice becomes revenue in your records automatically, so what you billed and what you banked stay in step.
