You can create and send invoices using our platform without connecting a bank account. Here’s how to get started and ensure your invoices are sent properly:


How to Create and Send a Stand Alone Invoice

No proposal? No problem.

  • Head to InvoicesCreate New Invoice.

  • Add your client info and job details.

  • Build line items with rates, quantities, etc.

  • Attach site photos as proof of completed work.

Use this for projects where you just need to get paid fast.


Invoice from the Proposal

Setup a Payment Plan on the Proposal

  • Go to any estimate and convert it to a proposal.

  • Scroll to the Payment Schedule section.

  • Click Set Up Payments.

  • Add milestones like “Framing Complete” or “Tile Delivered”.

  • Set due dates by milestone (e.g. "on approval") instead of fixed dates — we know construction shifts.

This shows clients their payment plan before they sign.

Convert the Proposal into an Itemized Invoice

  • Click Convert to Invoice on any signed proposal.

  • Choose which scope(s) the invoice covers.

  • Fill in a detailed description of the work completed.

  • Upload photos, videos, PDFs — anything that proves the work got done.

  • Apply any discounts, taxes, or credits.

  • Hit send — via text or email.

Everything — line items, rates, proof — pulls in from the proposal, so you don’t waste time duplicating info.


How to Log a Manual Payment

Client paid in cash? Dropped off a check?

  • Open the relevant invoice.

  • Click Log Payment.

  • Add the amount and payment method.

  • Your invoice will update automatically.

Partial payments update the balance due in real-time. The payments are logged to the payment schedule.
