Create a PDF and share your fillable PDF invoice.
Align your digital invoice with your tax filing and accounting needs. Also keep in mind how clients prefer to pay. Include payment options for debit or credit card, bank transfer, or third-party payment apps.
Invoices sometimes require an approval signature, so make sure your invoice is e-signature equipped. E-signatures are legal and binding across the U.S., and in many other countries as well.
