How to Create an Invoice from Scratch

You don't need pre-saved Products or Services to create an invoice - you can type custom line items directly into the form.

Steps

  1. Go to Get Paid → Invoices and click "+ New Invoice."
  2. Select or create a customer.
  3. For each line, type directly into the Description and Price fields instead of selecting a saved Item.
  4. Add tax to a line using the line-level Tax dropdown, if applicable.
  5. Click "Save as Draft," "Approve," or "Save & Send" to finish.

Good to Know

Custom line items still post to your reports the same way as items selected from Products & Services once the invoice is Approved. Note that finalizing may still prompt you to select or create an Item if one wasn't chosen for a line.
