Step-by-Step: Create Your Invoice in Under 60 Seconds

0–5 seconds
Open your browser (Safari/Chrome on iPhone works great) and go to:
https://generateinvoice.net

5–15 seconds
Tap/click a template.
Best quick picks: “Modern”, “Freelancer”, or “Service” — all load fast and look sharp on mobile.

15–25 seconds
Add your details (only once; next time it remembers):

  • Business name

  • Email & phone

  • Tap the logo area → upload from Photos (PNG with a transparent background looks best). Skip anything you don't want — it still looks pro.

25–35 seconds
Enter client info:

  • Client name/company

  • Email (for sending): copy-paste from contacts if faster.

35–50 seconds
Add your work:

  • Tap to type a description (e.g., “Logo Design – 3 concepts + 2 revisions"). ”)

  • Enter quantity/hours and rate

  • Add 1–3 lines — totals auto-update instantly

  • Use item library (if you saved common services earlier) → tap to insert in one click

50–60 seconds
Finalize:

  • Set due date (defaults to Net 15 — change if needed)

  • Scroll to terms/payment section: add methods (PayPal, Wise, bank transfer, etc.)

  • Optional: add late fee note (“1.5% monthly after due date"). ”)

  • Tap Preview. Looks good?

  • Tap Download PDF (saves to Files/Photos) or copy Shareable Link (client views online)

Done. Total time: 45–60 seconds.

Bonus: Get Even Faster Next Time (Under 30 Seconds)

  • Bookmark the site on your home screen

  • Upload logo & save default terms once (persists in browser)

  • Pre-save 5–10 common services in the item library (e.g., “Website Audit – 4 hours”)

  • Use a shareable link instead of a PDF (copy-paste in WhatsApp/Messages)

  • Keep client emails in your contacts for quick paste

How to Send & Get Paid Quickly

  • PDF route: Download → tap Share icon → send via WhatsApp, Messages, Mail, AirDrop

  • Link route: Copy shareable link → paste in chat/email → client opens in browser (no attachment issues, tracks if viewed)

  • Follow up: “Hi [Name], just sent the invoice for [project]—due [date]. Let me know if you have questions!”

  • Track: Re-open the site later — see the last 10 invoices and their status
