Invoices are what a customer owes. A studio can invoice for a private session. A plumber can invoice for a visit. Invoices do not need a “jobs” tool.

Ask your agent to turn invoices on. Online pay on an invoice also needs payments.

Start an invoice

Admin → Invoices. Use New invoice. Pick the customer and the lines. Save a draft, then Send invoice.
