How to use it
Sending Your First Invoice
Once you are on the main 'Invoices' page, click the Create New Invoice or Add New Invoice button, usually in the top right corner.
Choose the customer for the invoice. Type the customer's name in the provided field. If the customer is already in the system, their name will appear, and you can select them. If they are a new customer, click Add New Customer and fill in their basic details (name and email address).
Fill in the invoice details:
Invoice Date: This is usually today's date, but you can change it if necessary.
Due Date: Set the date you expect payment.
Invoice Number: The system will usually generate a unique invoice number automatically.
Reference (Optional): Enter a booking reference or purchase order number, if applicable.
Add line items detailing the services or products being invoiced:
Click Add Item or Add Line Item.
Description: Type a clear description of the service (e.g., "Two-Day Outback Adventure Tour for John Smith", "Kayak Hire - 2 Hours", "Accommodation - Ocean View Room 3 Nights").
Quantity: Enter the number of items.
Unit Price: Enter the price for one item. The system will usually calculate the total automatically.
If you have multiple items, click Add Another Item and repeat the process.
Review the entire invoice carefully. Ensure the customer details, dates, descriptions, prices, and totals are correct. Verify that your payment terms are clear.
Click Send Invoice or Email Invoice. This will usually bring up a confirmation screen. Check the email address again.
Click Confirm Send or a similar button. The invoice has been sent, and its status will be updated on your Invoices page to 'Sent' or 'Pending'.
