What Is an Invoice?

An invoice is a formal billing document that businesses send to clients after completing work or delivering products. It serves as a payment request, detailing what was provided, the amount owed, and payment terms (like Net 15, Net 30, or 2/10 Net 30). Unlike a receipt, an invoice is sent before payment is received.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an invoice?
