Create and send invoices online in minutes
A spreadsheet or a Word template can produce an invoice, but it can’t tell you whether the client opened it, remember your last invoice number, or chase a late payment for you. Online invoicing does all three, and it takes about the same amount of time to fill in.
How it works
Three steps, no software to install. Each invoice moves through the same three states, so you always know what to do next.
Create
Add your logo and colors, list line items, set tax and currency. The total updates as you type.
Send
Email it straight from SendBilling, or share the public link. The client sees a branded page, not a raw attachment.
Get paid
The client can follow the external payment URL you add. SendBilling does not receive the payment or update its status automatically; you mark the invoice paid after confirming the funds yourself.
What you get with online invoicing
Everything below is included free during early access — no feature gated behind a paid plan.
Branded invoices, not templates
Add your logo, pick your colors, and set your own numbering. Every invoice and its public link carry your branding, not a generic template with our name on it.
Send by email with a public pay link
Email an invoice directly from SendBilling with delivery tracking, or copy the public link into any message you already send. Clients view, download, or pay from one page — no login required on their end.
Multi-currency and tax built in
Set a currency per invoice with your own conversion rate. Add line-level or invoice-level tax, and save tax and currency defaults per customer so you're not re-entering them on every job.
PDF export, whenever you need it
Download any invoice as a clean PDF for your records, an accountant, or a client who wants a file instead of a link. What you download matches what the client sees online.

Why not just use a Word or Excel template?
A template gets one invoice out the door. It doesn’t track whether that invoice was ever paid, doesn’t stop you from reusing last month’s invoice number by mistake, and doesn’t give the client anywhere to click if they want to pay online instead of mailing a check. Every invoice also lives as a separate file on your computer, so “what did I bill this client last quarter” means opening old folders.
Online invoicing keeps every invoice, customer, and payment status in one place. Numbers increment automatically, past invoices are searchable, and each one carries a public link the client can actually use.
It also removes the retyping. Save a customer once — their name, billing address, tax ID, currency, and language — and every new invoice for them starts pre-filled. If you bill the same client every month, set up a recurring schedule instead of copying an old file and changing the date.
Requirements and limitations
- You are responsible for required seller details, tax treatment, numbering, and invoice wording.
- Email delivery and public links depend on accurate recipients and configured services.
- A viewed link does not prove client approval.
- An external payment URL opens a third-party service. SendBilling does not validate the destination, process payment, or update payment status.
- Downloaded PDFs and CSV exports must be stored and shared securely by the user.
Before sending, review the client, currency, dates, line items, totals, and payment instructions.
What happens before and after an invoice is sent
Online invoicing is more than filling a PDF. The useful workflow starts with accurate customer and scope data and ends only after the sender verifies the external payment and updates the record.
Before sending
Confirm the billing contact, purchase-order or project reference, issue and due dates, currency, line items, tax treatment, and agreed payment terms.
During delivery
Choose immediate email, scheduled email, or a public link. Review recipients and attachments first; a sent event records an attempt, while a viewed event records a public-link open.
After delivery
Use reminders and overdue status for follow-up. Pause automated messages when there is a dispute, the billing contact changed, or the customer requested corrected documentation.
After payment
Check the bank or external provider, record partial or full payment manually, and retain the external transaction reference with the business records.
SendBilling does not collect invoice payments or confirm settlement. Any external payment page, fee, refund, chargeback, and privacy obligation belongs to that third-party provider.

Is online invoicing free with SendBilling?
Yes, right now. SendBilling is in early access, so creating, sending, and tracking invoices is free and unlimited on every plan. Paid Pro and Lifetime plans launch later with the same core features plus priority support and higher usage limits.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Online invoicing means everything runs in your browser — create an account, build an invoice, and send it. Nothing to download or configure on your computer.
How does a client actually pay the invoice?
SendBilling does not collect, process, hold, or reconcile payments. You paste an external payment URL into the invoice, and its Pay button opens that third-party page. Your customer pays you there, and you update the invoice status manually.
