How to make an invoice

An invoice has to say who owes what and by when, and carry a number you and your client can both refer to later. Everything beyond that is presentation.

  1. Add your details and your client's

    Your business name, address and tax registration number, plus your client's name. If you're registered to collect sales tax or VAT, showing that registration number is usually a legal requirement.

  2. Number it and date it

    A unique number that follows on from your last invoice is what lets you and your client find the same document a year from now. Set the issue date and the due date; net 30 is the usual default.

  3. List what you supplied

    One line per item, with quantity and unit price. Invoices that say clearly what the client is paying for get paid faster than ones that just say “services rendered”.

  4. Save it as a PDF and send it

    The Save as PDF button opens your browser's print dialog, where you pick Save as PDF as the destination. Nothing is stored here. Save the file before you close the tab.

Frequently asked questions

Neither. Your own browser builds the invoice and prints it. There's nothing for us to watermark and nothing to count.

Click Save as PDF, which opens the standard print dialog, then choose "Save as PDF" as the destination instead of a printer. Every current browser on desktop and mobile can do this.

An invoice needs the word Invoice, a unique number, your business name and contact details, the client's name, the date, a description of what you supplied, the amount, any tax charged and the payment due date. If you're registered for sales tax or VAT, your registration number is usually required too.

Not on our side. Everything you type stays in the browser tab and disappears when you close it. Save the PDF before you leave the page.

Writing the invoice is the easy part. Smartbills keeps track of what's still unpaid and applies each payment when it lands. Following up stops eating somebody's Friday afternoon.
