Invoice template
An invoice template with everything your customer needs
A clear invoice gets paid sooner. Here is what to put on one, in the order a customer reads it, and how InvoiceGlance fills it in for you.
What the finished invoice looks like
At the top: your business name and email, then Invoice 1042, issued 3 March, due 17 March. Below that, the customer's name. Then a short list: Logo design, 1 at $900, and Two rounds of changes, 1 at $300.
At the bottom: the total of $1,200, what has been paid so far, what is still owing, and how to pay you. A customer who reads only the top and the bottom still knows who it is from, what it is for, how much, and by when.
What every invoice needs
Your business details
Your business name and an email address, so the customer knows who the invoice is from and where to reply.
An invoice number
A unique number that counts up with no gaps, so you and your customer can both refer to the same invoice.
Dates
The date you issued it and the date it is due. A due date is what makes an invoice late, so never leave it out.
The customer
Who is being billed, using the name they expect to see.
Line items and totals
One line for each piece of work or product, with a quantity and a price, then the total, including any tax or discount.
How to pay
Your payment instructions, written once. Nobody pays an invoice they cannot work out how to pay.
