Creating and Sending an Invoice

Build an invoice from your billable item catalog and send it with a Pay Now link

This guide walks through creating a manual invoice, adding line items from your billable item catalog, and sending it to a contact with a Pay Now link for online payment.

Steps

Navigate to Invoices

Open Edge → Invoices from the left sidebar.

Select a contact

Click New Invoice and choose the contact you want to invoice. Start typing to search by name or email.

Set invoice dates

Set the Invoice Date and Due Date. The due date determines when the invoice is considered overdue.

Add a line item from the catalog

Click Add Line Item and select a billable item from your catalog. The price and description auto-populate from the item.

Add more items

Repeat to add additional line items. Adjust the Quantity for each as needed.

Review totals

Check the subtotal, any taxes, and the total amount at the bottom of the invoice.

Add notes

Use the Notes field to include payment terms, project references, or any other information for the client.

Save or send

Click Save as Draft to save without sending, or Send Invoice to email it immediately. Sent invoices include a Pay Now link.

Client receives the invoice

The client receives an email with the invoice details and a Pay Now button that opens a hosted payment page.

Payment is auto-recorded

When the client pays via Pay Now, the payment is automatically recorded in the Revenue ledger with the source set to `invoice`.

Result

Your invoice is sent and the client can pay online via the Pay Now link. Once paid, the payment appears in Edge → Revenue automatically.

Warning: Invoices work without a billing customer — the client pays via guest checkout. However, trigger-generated invoices and subscriptions require a billing customer with a stored payment method.
