How to create and send an invoice
Step 1: Sign up or Sign in to Bookipi https://bookipi.com
Click 'Start for free' to create a new account, or 'Log in' if you already have one.
You can sign in using a third-party account by selecting 'Continue with Google' or 'Continue with Apple' on the login page.
Alternatively, you can sign in manually by entering your email address and clicking 'Continue' to proceed.
Step 2: Go to ‘Invoice'
From your dashboard, hover over Invoice and click '+ Create' to start creating a new invoice.
Alternatively, choose ‘Invoice’ from the left panel of your screen, then click the ‘+ Create’ button in the upper right corner of the page.
Step 3: Add a customer
Select an existing customer from your Customers list by clicking the dropdown menu.
Alternatively, click 'New Customer' to add a new customer to your list.
Remember to list only one email address when creating a new customer account to prevent any issues when your customer makes a card payment.
Step 4: Add an item
You can select an existing item from your Item list using the dropdown menu.
Alternatively, click 'New item' to create a new one. Once selected or created, you can adjust the quantity and price, as well as add or edit the item description as needed.
Step 5: Customize and enable other options on your invoice
You can customize your invoice by adding or editing fields such as Discount, Shipping cost, Tax, Due date, and other relevant details. You can also enable Signature, configure Overdue reminders, or set up a Recurring invoice by selecting your preferred billing interval.
Step 6: Click ‘Continue’
Click ‘Continue’ to generate an invoice.
Step 7: Click ‘Send Invoice’
Review the invoice details to ensure all information is accurate and complete. Once verified, click 'Send Invoice' to deliver the invoice to your customer.
Alternatively, you can manually mark the invoice as 'Sent' by clicking 'Mark sent'.
Step 8: (Optional) Send to multiple recipients
You can add multiple recipients when prompted to send the invoice. However, to avoid potential issues, particularly when your customer pays by card, we recommend saving only one email address per customer. If you need to send the invoice to multiple recipients, add their email addresses during the sending process instead.
To include multiple recipients, enter their email addresses separated by commas. You can also enable 'Send me a copy' to receive a copy of the invoice email and add a personalized message for your customer.
Before clicking 'Send Invoice', double-check all email addresses to ensure the invoice is delivered to the correct recipients.
Step 9: (Optional): Enable card payment for your customers
Your customers can also pay directly with card payments from their invoice using the 'Pay now' button.
If you haven't enabled card payments yet, you can easily activate this option before sending your invoice. Simply select 'Card' from the right-hand panel of your screen and enable Accept card payments.
Alternatively, you can activate it from your account 'Settings' by navigating to the 'General' tab and clicking ‘Connect with card’ under the Accept card payments option in the Payment section.
How to edit an invoice
Step 1: Click ‘Invoice’
Select the 'Invoice' category from the left panel of your screen.
Step 2: Select the invoice
Click on the invoice you would like to edit.
Step 3: Click ‘Edit’
If the invoice is in 'Draft' status, you can directly make changes by modifying the fields.
For 'Sent' or 'Read' statuses, click the ‘Edit’ button in the upper-right corner to enable editing.
Step 4: Make necessary changes
Make necessary changes to your invoice.
Step 5: Click ‘Save changes’
Click ‘Save changes’ to save the changes.
Step 6: Send the invoice
If you make changes to an invoice that has already been sent, you'll be prompted to resend the updated version to your customer. Click 'Send reminder' to send the revised invoice and ensure your customer receives the latest updates.
Invoices marked as 'Paid' or 'Partially Paid' cannot be modified unless the recorded payment is first removed. This ensures the accuracy of financial records. Always resend updated invoices to maintain clear communication with your customers.
How to filter invoices
Step 1: Click ‘Invoice’

Step 2: Filter the invoice status from the Search and Filter Bar

Click More to access additional invoice filtering options. You can filter your invoices by the following statuses: All, Draft, Sent, Read, Paid (including Fully Paid and Partially Paid), and Failed to deliver.
To view your archived invoices, click the 'Archived' button located in the upper-right corner of your invoice list.
