Plain-text invoice

INVOICE [number] [Your business name] · [phone] · [email] Billed to: [customer name] Issued: [date] Due: [date] [Service 1] . . . . . . . $[amount] [Service 2] . . . . . . . $[amount] [Materials/extras] . . . $[amount] TOTAL DUE: $[total] Pay securely by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay: [payment link] Thank you for your business!

What to fill in

  • Invoice number: any consistent scheme (INV-000001, INV-000002...).
  • Due date: same day to 14 days for most service work. Shorter is better.
  • Line items: one line per service so nothing is a mystery.
  • Payment link: the whole point. A pay-now link beats "mail a check".
  • Terms (optional): late fees only if you've agreed to them in advance and your state allows them.
