These step by step instructions will show you how to create an invoice that includes all the standard elements of a professional invoice. Below, we’ll dive into how you can customize a generic invoice to be unique to your business.
The first time you create an invoice, you'll need to add some information to the blank invoice template.
For
section, including name, email, and addressNotes
sectionOnce your first invoice is complete, you’ll need to learn how to send it to your client. Our invoice generator gives you two easy options to send an invoice.
First, compose an email to your client. You can include a link to your invoice in the email or send them a PDF of the invoice as an attachment. The client simply clicks on the link or the attachment to see the invoice.
Then, check in on the status of your sent invoice. If you email your invoice directly from Invoice Simple, you will receive a notification when your customer views the invoice. The notification is useful for following up with clients to confirm payment.
There are 9 main elements of an invoice. Some of these elements are necessary, while others are extra or used only for customization.
You may initially start out using a simple excel or word invoice template, but when you get to making your second or third business invoice you'll realize that you're wasting a lot of your time on repetitive tasks. For example:
Each extra minute you spend doing this administrative work is time and money lost.
The first time you use the Invoice Simple invoice generator, you’ll see a blank invoice template.
The next time you create an invoice, the invoice template will automatically fill in all of your relevant business information, items, and client information. The invoice generator will even use predictive text to autofill client information such as phone number, email address, and mailing address as you type the client’s name.
The next time you want to create an invoice, the invoice template will automatically be filled with all of your relevant information. The same applies to your clients and items. We'll fill out your entire client information (phone, email, address) as you start typing the client name.
You can share or download a PDF of your invoice with the click of a button. This saves a lot of time compared to Excel and Word invoice templates, for which you need to complete several steps to export a document as a PDF or be sure that your client can open files of a specific format.
There are a few additional benefits to emailing your business invoice through Invoice Generator. One is that your invoice will be suitable for mobile and desktop viewing. Second is that you'll be notified when your client receives and views the invoice. And thirdly if your client hasn't viewed you invoice after a couple days, Invoice Simple will automatically send them a polite reminder.
Instead of working hard, we should work smart! The smart thing is to use the right tool for the job, an invoice generator.
The invoice generator is used by a wide range of industries and businesses. Contractors like Plumbers, Painters, Pool Services, and more need quick and easy access to make invoices for their clients. Freelancers and small business owners, for instance, often find invoice generators indispensable. Graphic designers, web developers, videographers, and consultants can quickly create professional invoices, allowing them to focus more on their core work rather than administrative tasks. These are just a few of the many industries that are using the Invoice Generator.
