How it works
How invoicing works in justIssued
justIssued is for sending and tracking invoices, not for running a full accounting system. Start with a client and an invoice, then use the paid workflows when you need estimates, recurring work, or reminders.

Create and send an invoice
Choose a client, create a numbered invoice, share a public link, then record payment.
- 1. Add a client. A name is enough. An email lets you send the invoice later.
- 2. Create the invoice. Choose the client, add line items and a due date, then save.
- 3. Share the link. Your client opens it without an account and can print or save a PDF.
- 4. Record payment. When payment arrives, mark the invoice paid.

Take a deposit, then the balance
Enter the full job and a deposit %. A 50% deposit on $129 CAD is $64.50 now and $64.50 later — tax once on each half, never a mystery remainder.
- 1. Write the whole job. Lines are the full work, not the deposit. Example: $129.
- 2. Pick the percent. 50% is the usual start. We bill that slice now.
- 3. Collect the first part. Share the link. Mark it paid when the money lands.
- 4. Send the rest. One tap creates the leftover bill. Same job, other half.

Quote, then convert
Send an estimate. When it is accepted, convert it into a numbered invoice.
- 1. Write the quote. Same lines as a bill. Share the link.
- 2. They say yes. Convert it into a numbered invoice.
- 3. Collect as usual. Share, get paid, mark it paid.

Repeat a retainer
Save a template. Run now creates the next numbered invoice.
- 1. Save the template. Who, how often, and the lines.
- 2. Run now. Makes a draft invoice. You still send it.
- 3. Nothing sends itself. You stay in control each time.

Chase overdue
The invoice list highlights past-due invoices. Copy a follow-up email or send a reminder from justIssued.
- 1. Open overdue invoices. Choose Overdue in the invoice list.
- 2. Remind or mark paid. Copy a reminder, send it, or tap They paid.
