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 Invoice 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 Invoice Feature

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

  1. Go to Settings > Feature Visibility

  2. Turn on Invoice

  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

  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 to generate the PDF

  2. Tap Share 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

  • The total due, plus any notes you added

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
