Tips to improve your invoice quality and ensure timely payments

  • All the essential elements of an invoice must be included. Such as the word Invoice/Tax Invoice, services rendered or products sold, quantity, rate, amount, and the total amount.
  • Mention the terms and conditions clearly at the bottom of the invoice so there is no confusion or arguments.
  • Mention Bank Details so customers can transfer the payment. Having it mentioned makes it convenient for customers to pay without having to come back to you and ask the payment method.
  • Mention the due date so customers are well aware of the date by when you would expect the payment.
  • Mention the payment terms and installment breakdowns if there is so customers are clear how much to pay on what date.
  • Display the discount given to customers so they are aware of the benefits they are receiving.

Image guidelines for your company logo

  • Upload an unpixelated logo in a small size
  • Keep the logo within the size for the best result. The recommended size is 200 pixels maximum width and 150 pixels maximum height.
  • Do not upload a large image of the logo that runs into several megabytes. It will cause the PDF invoice size also to increase. A large PDF file is inconvenient to send and for your customers to receive.
  • Resize your Logo
