Online Invoice Links
All invoices, credit notes, orders and quotes can be viewed online in a browser without logging on to the system. This is a powerful alternative to the PDF versions of invoices, credit notes and quotes which are normally sent to your customers and suppliers.
Online invoices will inherit your custom design from Invoice Brands and Templates and also offers the following key advantages:
- Ability to print a PDF version of the invoice at any time.
- Automatic update of any outstanding amounts. For example, if you enter a payment against the invoice in the system, then the online invoice will be immediately updated to reflect the payment.
- Enhanced Stripe integration. If you enable Stripe integration for your online invoices, then your customers can pay you via the Debit or Credit Card button on the online invoice and AccountsPortal will automatically reconcile the payment against the invoice.
- Enhanced PayPal integration. If you enable PayPal integration for your online invoices, then your customers can pay you via the PayPal button on the online invoice and AccountsPortal will automatically reconcile the payment against the invoice. See Pay with PayPal buttons for more information.
- Automatic email notification when you have received a payment via an online invoice.
