How to Create an Online Invoice

Add the details in your browser. Use the numbered fields to check each part of the invoice.

Invoice fields for business details, logo, customer, dates, line items, totals and terms
  1. Check Your Business Details: Use your business name and contact information for the customer’s bill.
  2. Add Your Business Style: Add a logo and choose the colors and fonts for the invoice.
  3. Choose the Customer: Select a saved customer or enter a new customer’s billing details.
  4. Set the Dates: Check the invoice number and choose the invoice date and due date.
  5. Add Products or Services: Use saved items or enter the work, quantities and agreed prices.
  6. Review the Calculation: Add applicable tax and discounts, then check the total Docelf calculates.
  7. Explain How to Pay: Use Terms and Conditions for payment instructions. Review the invoice before you choose to send it.

Enter Online Invoice Charges Without a Spreadsheet

Add each service with its quantity and rate. Docelf calculates the line amount. For repeat work, include the service date or billing period.

The example below bills for website maintenance. It uses prices in US dollars and assumes all three services are taxable at 7.5%.

QTY Description Unit Price Amount
2Website content updates — hours $60.00$120.00
1Website backup check $35.00$35.00
1Broken-link review $45.00$45.00
Subtotal$200.00
Sales Tax (7.5% example)$15.00
Total $215.00

What to Include in Online Invoice Terms

Use Terms and Conditions to tell the customer which payment method to use. For repeat work, identify the service period so the customer knows which bill they are paying.

This example uses a 14-day payment period for website maintenance. Use the deadline you agreed with the customer and replace the bracketed details. Emailing an invoice does not itself collect the payment.

Example: Terms and Conditions

  • This invoice covers website maintenance for [Service Period].
  • Payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date.
  • Pay by [Accepted Payment Method] using [Payment Details].
  • Use the invoice number as your payment reference.
  • Contact [Billing Email] with questions.

Choose What to Send to the Customer

Check the customer’s billing email and the finished invoice before sharing it. Creating or saving the invoice does not email it; you choose when to send.

Reuse the Last Invoice, Then Check What Changed

Docelf saves customer information and lets you reuse products and services. For another billing period, duplicate a previous invoice to create a new draft with a new number.

Update the service period, quantities and due date before sending. You choose when to send the new invoice. See how to duplicate a document.

Turn an Accepted Quote or Estimate Into an Invoice

Already agreed on the price? You can create an invoice from a quote or estimate. Check the copied customer and item details before requesting payment.

Add Details That Help the Customer Recognize the Bill

Use the footer for your billing contact. Attach a supporting file when the customer needs more detail.

You can add an industry name before “Invoice.” Choose the currency for the bill from USD, EUR, GBP, CAD and AUD.

See What Happened After You Emailed the Invoice

Delivery, opening and payment are different steps. An opened invoice is not proof of payment.

  • Check whether the invoice was delivered and opened.
  • Record each payment’s amount and date. Check the remaining balance.
  • Create a receipt from the invoice after recording payment.

More Layouts for Your Online Invoice

Each preview opens the same invoice editor. Add your own customer and charges, then adjust the logo, colors and font.

Prefer an Invoice File to the Online Editor?

These format pages offer separate Word, Google Docs, Excel and Google Sheets templates. They are alternatives to creating the invoice in Docelf, not additional Docelf export formats.
