How it works

Your first invoice, step by step

No experience needed: here is exactly how it goes, from sign-up to your first payment. Allow about ten minutes the first time, then two minutes for the following ones.

Have ready before you start:
Name and address of your business Your IBAN A client’s details
  1. Step 1

    Create your account

    A name, an email, a password. No credit card required.

  2. Step 2

    Introduce your business

    An assistant asks for your name, your address and the IBAN you want to be paid into, then whether you are VAT-registered. Every question is explained.

  3. Step 3

    Add your first client

    Their name, address, email and language. Their invoice and the email that goes with it will reach them in that language.

  4. Step 4

    Record what you sell

    An hour of work, a flat fee, a product or a subscription, with its price. Optional, but your invoices will then fill in with one click.

  5. Step 5

    Prepare the invoice

    Choose the client, add lines from your catalogue, click on the payment terms offered. Totals are calculated live and the draft saves itself.

  6. Step 6

    Issue and send

    “Issue and send” gives the invoice its final number and emails it with the PDF and the QR payment part.

  7. Step 7

    Get paid

    When the money arrives in your account, open the invoice and click “Add a payment”. Partial payment? Enter the amount received; the rest stays outstanding.

  8. Step 8

    Send a reminder if needed

    Once the due date has passed, the invoice shows as overdue on the home page. One click sends a polite reminder, or turn on automatic reminders.

The vocabulary

Six words, and you speak “invoice”

You will meet them again in the app, always with a “?” bubble to explain them.

Draft
An invoice in preparation, which can be changed freely and has no number.
Issue
Making the invoice final: it receives its number and its PDF.
Due date
The deadline for payment, usually 30 days after the invoice.
QR-bill
The payment part with a QR code at the bottom of the invoice, which your client scans with their banking app.
Credit note
The document that cancels all or part of an invoice already issued.
VAT-registered
Registered for VAT, compulsory from CHF 100’000 of turnover per year. Below that, no VAT on your invoices.
