High-intent invoice questions, answered clearly.
Use these answers to understand when to send invoices, how payment terms work and what tax details belong in business documents.
An invoice is a formal payment request that lists seller details, buyer details, items, totals, taxes, due dates and payment instructions.
Enter business details, add client information, list products or services, calculate tax and discounts, then print or export the document.
Send an invoice after work is completed, at agreed milestones, or before delivery when a deposit or upfront payment is required.
Payment terms define when money is due. Common examples include due on receipt, Net 7, Net 15 and Net 30.
Tax depends on your location, product or service, and registration status. Add VAT, GST or sales tax only when applicable.
