Managing Clients

Adding a client is simple – go to Clients in the sidebar, click New Client, and enter their name and email. That is all you need. Address and phone are optional.

You can also create clients inline when making an invoice, or import clients in bulk from a CSV file.

Client Profile Page

Each client has a profile page showing everything at a glance:

🗎

All Quotes

Notes

Client Statements

Generate a statement showing all invoices and payments for a client over a date range. Open the client, click Statement, select the date range, and view on screen or download as PDF.

Items and Services (Price List)

Save your commonly used services or products so you do not have to type them every time.

Go to Items and Services in the sidebar, click New Item, enter the name, description, price, and tax rate. When creating invoices, select from your saved items instead of typing from scratch.
