How do I create and send an invoice to a buyer?

Written by Shane Jordan

Flippd can generate a branded PDF invoice for any item you've sold. Turn on the Invoices feature, mark an item as Sold, then choose Invoice Buyer from the item's more-options menu to fill in the buyer's details and share the invoice.

Turn On the Invoices Feature

The Invoice Buyer action is off by default. To enable it:

  1. Go to Settings > Feature Visibility

  2. Turn on Invoices

  3. A one-time intro explains how it works

Step-by-Step

  1. Mark the item as Sold

  2. Open the item, tap the ... (more options) menu in the bottom action bar

  3. Tap Invoice Buyer -- the Send Invoice screen opens

  4. Fill in the details:

  • Buyer name, email, and phone

  • Total Due (pre-filled with the item's sale price)

  • Notes (optional)

  1. Tap Preview Invoice to check the PDF

  2. Tap Generate & Share Invoice to send it through your phone's share sheet (email, text, AirDrop, etc.)

What's on the Invoice

The generated PDF includes:

  • Your business logo, name, and address (from your Business Profile)

  • An invoice number (the item's stock number) and the current date

  • A Bill To section with the buyer's contact details

  • The item -- description, thumbnail, quantity, unit price, and line total

  • Your payment methods (Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, wire, or custom) from your Business Profile, printed under a How to Pay heading

  • The total due, plus any notes you added

  • A footer -- set your own in Business Profile > Invoice footer (optional), or leave it blank to use the default "Invoice your clients with Flippd - getflippd.com"

Good to Know

  • Invoicing is free and has no limits on how many you create

  • Set up your Business Profile first (logo, address, payment methods) so invoices look professional -- otherwise the PDF uses defaults

  • Buyer details and notes are saved back to the item, so if you invoice the same buyer again the fields are pre-filled

  • The Total Due defaults to the item's sale price but you can change it before sharing -- useful for adding shipping or combining a discount

  • Flippd doesn't track invoice statuses (sent/paid) -- each invoice is a one-off PDF you share directly with the buyer

  • The Invoice Buyer action only appears on items marked Sold
