The short version
The Invoices page shows four tiles on top and your invoices below. Use the tabs, the search box and the sort menu to narrow the list. The row menu on the right of each invoice has the actions.
The four tiles
| Tile | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Outstanding | What your open invoices still owe you, including late ones. |
| Overdue | The part of that which is past its due date. |
| Paid | Money received in the period you picked, less refunds, compared with the period before. |
| Drafts | Invoices you wrote but have not sent, at what they are worth now. |
Each tile has the amount and the number of invoices. Money in different currencies is never added together.
Currency and period
With invoices in more than one currency, a currency picker appears. Pick one and the tiles show only that currency. The period picker sets what the Paid tile covers: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 12 months or all time. On a phone the period is a menu.
Tabs, search and sort
The tabs are All, Drafts, Unpaid, Overdue and Paid, each with its count. The search box finds invoices by number, customer or amount. Sort by Newest first, Due date or Highest amount. When a search or tab is active, Clear filters appears.
The list shows 25 invoices a page, with Previous and Next under it. Each row has the number (a draft shows Draft), the customer and email, the issue date, the due date with how many days late, the amount (with what is still due when part paid) and a status badge. Select a row to open it: drafts open in the editor, sent invoices open their page. On a phone the rows are cards.
Work on several invoices
Tick rows, or the box in the header to tick the whole page. A bar appears on desktop with Export selected, Send N reminders, Download N PDFs as one zip, and Mark N paid (choose Bank transfer, Cash or Other, paid in full today, no receipt emails). Clear removes the ticks. Reminders and Mark paid only apply to sent invoices that still owe money. For the numbers behind the list see Reports and exports.
The first steps checklist
Before you have written any invoice, the list is replaced by a checklist with a progress bar. The steps are Add your business details, Connect Stripe, Add a customer and Create your first invoice. Each step shows Done once it is in place and has a button for the next one. The tiles stay at zero. Anyone can write invoices, but sending needs a Stripe account that can take payments. See Getting started with invoicing.
