Invoices Overview▶️

Invoice functionality within your CRM allows you to seamlessly generate and manage invoices for your business. This integrated feature enables you to issue invoices directly to your customers or clients, utilizing the products you have established in your sub-account. The invoicing dashboard offers real-time multi-currency support, ensuring accurate financial insights. This converts invoice values from multiple currencies into your account’s base currency before displaying the stats on the dashboard.

By centralizing invoice creation and management within your CRM system, you can streamline your billing process, enhance customer communication, and easily maintain accurate financial records.

If you are using invoicing without Stripe Connect, you can view your status through these steps:

Go to the Invoices & Estimates tab > All Invoices, where you will see the list of invoices and their statuses.

Note: The limitation to using invoicing without Stripe Connect is that the user will need to record the payments manually.
