📝 Overview
The Invoicing feature allows providers to create and send invoices for miscellaneous items directly to clients. This makes it easy to bill for ad-hoc or one-off charges without needing to create a full product or program. Invoiced orders behave like other order types, but with the added flexibility of sending a payment request for the client to complete later.
Benefits of Invoicing
Collect payments for anything – Quickly invoice families for private lessons, costume fees, parties, or other one-off items without setting up a new activity. Also, invoice 3rd party partners like schools or corporations.
Simplify how families pay – Send a payment link that’s easy for families to complete online — no more chasing checks or manual reminders.
See what’s outstanding at a glance – Track unpaid invoices and stay on top of cash flow with clear reporting.
Save administrative time – Automatic payment notifications and printable invoices reduce back-and-forth and simplify record-keeping.
