The problem it solves

You bill clients by hand in PayPal, retyping the same line items and hunting for the invoice number you used last time. It's slow and easy to make mistakes on the details.

Who it fits

Small business owners, consultants, and agencies who invoice clients through PayPal.

How it works

  1. You fill out a form with the client and line-item details
  2. The system generates a unique invoice number and date
  3. You can include as many line items as you need
  4. PayPal creates the invoice and sends it to the client
