Invoices

Invoice Settings: Configuring Invoice Defaults

Written by ZevBit Software

Overview

The Invoice tab in Settings allows users to configure default invoice behavior, billing information, invoice automations, deposit popup settings, and default invoice notes.

These settings help standardize invoicing, automate reminders, and control what clients see when invoices are sent or paid.

To access this section:

Go to Settings from the left menu and click on the Invoices tab


1. Default Terms

This section controls the default payment terms applied to invoices.

Default Standard Invoice Terms

This is a dropdown field where the user selects the default due terms for invoices.

  • Due as receipt (Net 0)

  • Net 3

  • Net 7

  • Net 15

  • Net 30

  • Net 90

This means the invoice becomes due (if Net 7) 7 days after the invoice date.

If the user selects something like Net 30, then the invoice due date will be automatically set to 30 days after the invoice date.

Use of this field

This setting helps define the default payment deadline for all newly created invoices.


2. Billing Info

This section contains the billing contact details that appear at the top of invoices.

Phone Number

This field is used to enter the company’s billing or contact phone number.

Email Address

This field is used to enter the billing email address that will appear on invoices.

Use of Billing Info

The information entered here is shown on invoices, so clients know how to contact the business regarding billing questions or payment-related communication.


3. Automations

This section allows users to automate invoice behavior and invoice-related email communication.

A. Auto Assign First Invoice Date (Deposit)

This option has:

  • A toggle

  • A number field for adding Days After Client Signs

How it works

When this toggle is enabled, the system automatically assigns the first invoice date after the client signs the estimate.

This means the first invoice date will be assigned on the same day the client added in the field.

NOTE: If the user wants the invoice to be due as soon as the customer signs, they should keep this value at 0 days

B. Auto Send Invoices On The Invoice Date

This option has:

  • A toggle

  • An Edit Email link

How it works

When enabled, the system automatically sends the invoice email on the invoice date at 12 PM.

C. Send Reminder On The Due Date

This option has:

  • A toggle

  • An Edit Email link

How it works

When enabled, the system sends a reminder email on the due date of the invoice at 12 PM.

D. Send Overdue Reminders Every X Days

This option has:

  • A toggle

  • A number field

  • An Edit Email link

How it works

This setting controls recurring overdue reminders after the invoice due date has passed. If enabled, the system would send an overdue reminder email every specified number of days.

E. Send Receipt When Payment Is Made Through Payment Integration

This option has:

  • A toggle

  • An Edit Email link

How it works

When enabled, the system automatically sends a payment receipt once the client pays through the connected payment integration.


4. Deposit Popup

This section controls the popup shown to the client after signing an estimate.

Deposit Popup (After Client Signs Estimate)

This option has:

  • A toggle

  • An Edit Email link

How it works

When enabled, the system shows a deposit pop-up to the client after they sign a proposal or estimate.

Purpose

This allows the company to customize what the client sees immediately after signing, especially if a deposit is expected.

Edit Email link

The Edit Email link allows the user to customize the content or messaging related to this deposit pop-up experience.


5. Invoice Note

This section allows users to define default notes that appear on invoices.

A. Default Invoice Note

Clicking Edit allows the user to customize the default invoice note. Once clicked, it will show a page to edit the note.

B. Default Summary Note

This note is the default project summary note displayed on each invoice.

Clicking Edit allows the user to customize the summary note.


6. Links and Actions on the Invoice Settings Page

In the Invoice Settings page, several automation options include an “Edit Email” button. These emails are not standalone—they are directly linked to the Email Templates configured in the Emails tab under Settings.

How It Works

Each automation uses a predefined email category from the Emails section. When you click “Edit Email”, you are editing the template associated with that specific automation.

Email Mapping by Automation

How to Modify These Emails

  • Click “Edit Email” next to the automation


    OR
