The problem it solves

Creating invoices by hand after every order means checking if the customer already exists, building the invoice, and remembering to notify your team. It's easy to lose track of an order or send an invoice late when you're doing this manually.

Who it fits

Best suited for freelancers, consultants, and small businesses that invoice customers after each order or booking.

How it works

  1. A customer submits an order through your form
  2. It checks Xero for an existing customer and creates or updates the record
  3. It generates an invoice for the ordered product or service
  4. The invoice is emailed directly to the customer
  5. Your sales team gets a Slack notification about the new invoice
