When invoicing, we believe simplest is best, but we know that sometimes certain invoices require more information to better bill your client.

That's why we have implemented a Basic Form and Advanced Form to our billing templates, whether you’re invoicing, providing a quote, or issuing a receipt with Invoice Home.

There’s a lot of things that go into making an invoice, from contact information of the billed party, to taxes and organizational details. If you’re contemplating what information should be included, click here to learn more about how to fill out your invoice.

The Advanced Form allows you to provide more context, both for your client and for your own organization and filing. There's several details on the Advanced Form that are not featured on the Basic Form, such as the:

  • “Ship To” address box which is for when you are shipping to a different address than the one you are billing to.
  • Due date that lets you assign a date for when you expect to receive payment.
  • Purchase order number that is used to match a purchase order document to an invoice.
  • Quantity which allows you to reflect how many times one item was purchased.
  • Unit Price which shows the price of one item, if the item is purchased more than once.

If you would like to feature any of these details, use our Advanced Form. Here’s how to get started in 6 simple steps:
