Send your first invoice

The most exciting part of winning new clients is getting paid quickly and easily. To stay on top of your business cash flow, you can create invoices directly from projects to make sure you get paid every dollar you’re owed.

You can build your invoice by referencing your proposal or adding custom line items to ensure you include all the work you’ve completed. You can include any business expenses you paid for, pass along payment processing fees or taxes, or include invoice discounts. Once you have everything included, you can send your invoice through the Wethos platform. Once it’s sent, you can sit back and relax, knowing your client can pay you directly through the invoice (as long as you have an approved Wethos Payment Account).
