Invoice Types

Simple Invoices supports three types of invoices to accommodate different billing scenarios.

Total Invoice

A Total Invoice is the simplest type: a single line item with a total amount.

Best for:

  • Fixed-price projects
  • One-off charges
  • Simple billing where itemization isn't needed

How it works:

  1. Select the product/service
  2. Enter the total quantity and price
  3. The invoice displays one line with a total

Itemised Invoice

An Itemised Invoice breaks down charges into individual line items.

Best for:

  • Detailed billing with multiple products or services
  • Invoices requiring per-item descriptions
  • Invoices where customers need to see each charge separately

How it works:

  1. Add multiple line items: each with a product, description, quantity, and price
  2. Each line can have its own tax rate
  3. Use the + Add Line Item button to add more rows
  4. The invoice subtotals, calculates taxes, and shows a grand total
