Any business owner will tell you that invoices are essential components in the payment process. You can use invoices to let your customers know how much they need to pay for their products or services and what you’re charging them for. And, this works for any business type. At Billdu, we offer simple invoices with a free template that you can use to create several invoice samples and see which one works best for your business.
Our invoice templates recognize local legislation in different countries. Check out our VAT invoice template UK, GST invoice template Australia or GST invoice template NZ.
Before we go over what our invoice generator is and how you can work it, you have to understand which important elements you want to include on your invoice samples. Ideally, your invoice will represent your business and go with your design aesthetic. You should also be able to include your logo and other relevant information.
Pick out a sample invoice template that is very easy for your customers to read and understand. Your customers should be able to tell by looking at your invoice samples whether they need to pay straight away or if they can wait. And, it should outline how they can pay very clearly. The cleaner and more uncluttered your invoice is, the easier it’ll be for your customers to find the information they need to see.
Your invoice should divide up different parts or services into categories so your customers can see how you arrived at the total you did and what they’re paying you to do or provide. The invoice should list any previous payments made, your total, and any remaining money the customer still owes. This is all contained in the sample invoice template provided.
If you offer more than one payment method, clearly list it on the invoice. There should be instructions that tell the customer how to use their preferred payment methods. Make sure you put the due date somewhere that is easy to see so they’ll make the payment on time. The easier your invoice is for your customers to look at and understand, the higher your chances are of getting your payments quickly and in full for your business’s products or services.
Invoice number – the first item in our free invoice template for Google Docs – just enter a number, e.g. 2021001 if it’s your first invoice generated in 2021
Your details – insert your business name, your address, city, zip/postcode, country, email and phone. If you do not want to state any of this information contained in the template for Google Docs, simply delete it
Customer details – similarly, fill out the customer details so that the template contains real customer data
Issue date and due date – simply when the invoice is created and when would you like to be paid (e.g. 7 or 14 days from the issue date)
Reference/order number – is you are using orders and the customer accepted one, the invoice template for Google Docs enables you to insert the number here
List of items – list of products or services you provided to your customer, along with their name, quantity, unit price, unit (e.g. piece, hour etc.) and the final amount for the number of items provided
There is some space for notes in the invoice template for Google Docs
Finally, fill out your bank details and you are ready to go!
Every business has slightly different needs when it comes to their invoices. This is why Billdu offers several options. If you already know what you want to put on your invoice (maybe got inspired by the sample invoices above), you can pick out the sample invoice template using the button below, fill in the information, and save it to email it or print and mail it out.
Even if you have a system in place to help you track and manage your invoices, it can be difficult to ensure you don’t misplace one or let one slide through the cracks. Not only will this delay your payments, but it can also upset customers if they claim they paid for your services and you have no record to support the claim. An invoice acts like a receipt, and you need a way to track them to keep your finances in order for tax season.
We also offer an invoice generator. You can use it to create invoice examples that you can share with your team and pick the best one that meets your style requirements. You’ll have to fill in your business’s logo and color scheme before you put in all of the relevant information.
