Can I choose the invoice template design?

Can I change the invoice currency?

Can I add custom payment terms or notes?

Yes. Use the Notes and Payment Instructions fields to add any custom text — late fee clauses, payment details, thank-you messages, or any other information.

Tax & Calculations

Does the invoice generator calculate tax automatically?

Yes. Enter your tax rate (as a percentage) in the Tax Rate field. The tool calculates the tax amount and grand total automatically as you type.

Can I show CGST and SGST separately for GST invoices?

Yes. Visit our dedicated GST Invoice Generator page which has a GST mode with separate CGST/SGST/IGST breakdown fields.

Can I apply a discount to my invoice?

Yes. Enter a discount as a percentage (e.g., 10%) or as a fixed amount (e.g., $50). The discount is applied to the subtotal before tax.

What if I need multiple tax rates on different items?

The standard tool applies one tax rate to the total. For multiple rates on individual line items, use the notes field to document the breakdown, or contact us about our pro features.

Sending & Delivery

Can I email the invoice directly to my client?

Yes. Click "Send via Email" — enter your client's email address and a message, then send. The invoice is attached as a PDF automatically.

Can my client pay online from the invoice?

Yes. Add a payment link (PayPal, Stripe, bank transfer) in the Payment Instructions field. Your client can click it directly from the PDF or email.

Can I send invoice payment reminders automatically?

Yes. Saved invoices in your dashboard can have payment reminders set up. Mark an invoice as "Sent" and the reminder feature becomes available.

Does my client need an account to view the invoice?

No. They receive a PDF — no account, no login, no software needed on their end.
