Run the business

Make an invoice with your logo, colours and fonts, add the lines, and send it by email with a PDF or by text with a link. Your bank details sit under the total, you can see when it’s been opened, and the customer goes into your contacts, ready for a review request.

What changes

01

Look professional on every job

Every invoice carries your logo, colours and fonts, with clear lines, quantities and tax worked out for you. Numbering picks up from your old invoices, so nothing restarts at one.

02

Know when it’s been opened

Send by email with the PDF attached, by text with a link, or both. The customer opens a clean page to view, print or download it, and you can see when they first looked. No more wondering if it arrived.

03

Every invoice can lead to a review

The customer can go straight into your contacts. With automatic review requests on, a separate request follows on your usual timing, and regulars are asked again on their next invoice until they click through.

The film

A one-minute look at LocalQuiver's invoices: add the customer, the job and the price, send a branded invoice by text or email, or download it, and let the customer view it on their phone. Review requests follow an invoice on plans with automatic requests, when they're switched on. Regulars are asked again on later invoices until they click through.

Questions

No, there’s no card or online payment. Your bank details, sort code and account number or an IBAN, sit under the total with the invoice number as the reference, so customers pay by bank transfer. When the money arrives, you mark the invoice paid.

No, there are no automatic payment reminders. Overdue invoices are listed separately, so you can see at a glance who still owes you. Send one again with a click whenever you decide it’s time for a nudge.

No. It’s built for one-off invoices, without quotes, estimates, recurring invoices or credit notes. For a regular customer, duplicate a past invoice, update the lines and send it again in a minute. Each invoice uses a single tax rate.

No. It doesn’t sync with accounting software or file anything with HMRC. It’s for making, sending and tracking invoices quickly. Download any invoice as a PDF to keep with your records or pass to your accountant at the end of the year.

Not on the invoice itself. Sending can add the customer to your contacts, and if automatic review requests are switched on, a separate request follows on your usual timing. A regular who hasn’t clicked through yet is asked again after their next invoice.
