How to create a quote

How to generate an invoice
Open Invoices and click Generate Invoice
In the PSA module sidebar, click Invoices, then click Generate Invoice.
Choose destination(s)
Check Stripe (for hosted online payment) and/or QuickBooks (for accounting sync). If QB is checked, link a Portal Company; click Sync now if not yet synced.
Select a client and agreement (optional)
For Stripe, pick a customer from your connected Stripe account. Optionally link a Service Agreement to auto-populate the monthly recurring charge.
Set period and line items
Define the billing period. Add manual line items by picking from your Service Catalog or entering free-text descriptions and amounts. Catalog items sync to Stripe automatically.
Configure payment options
Set a custom due date (default: 30 days from invoice date). Enable payment methods: Card, ACH, Link, Bank Transfer, SEPA Debit. If none selected, Card and ACH are used.
Stripe & QuickBooks behaviour
Stripe invoices are hosted online. Customers receive a link and can pay directly. You track payment status in real time. QuickBooks invoices sync to your QuickBooks account. They don’t include an online payment link; customers receive the PDF and pay via the methods you specify offline. Configure both in Settings → Integrations:- Stripe — Per-organization Stripe account connection
- QuickBooks — Per-organization QuickBooks authorization
Supply dates & tax compliance
When adding manual line items, optionally enable Supply date to specify a single date or date range (e.g. “Service period: 2026-05-01 — 2026-05-31”). This is rendered on the Stripe invoice and helps satisfy UK/EU tax-point rules.Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a quote to an invoice?
Can I convert a quote to an invoice?
Not directly today. View the quote’s line items as a reference, then create an invoice with them. We plan to automate this flow.
What happens if I edit a catalog item?
What happens if I edit a catalog item?
The invoice retains the price and description at the time of generation. Historical invoices are unaffected. A new Stripe Price is created on the next sync if the unit amount or currency changed.
Can I send an invoice via both Stripe and QuickBooks?
Can I send an invoice via both Stripe and QuickBooks?
Yes. Check both destinations, link a Portal Company for QB, and generate. The invoice is created in both systems independently.
What's the difference between Line Items and Service Agreements?
What's the difference between Line Items and Service Agreements?
Line Items are one-off charges on a single invoice. Service Agreements (Projects & Agreements) define recurring billing (monthly + hourly). You can link an agreement and still add extra line items.
