Creating your first free online invoice<\/h3>\n

To create the first invoice, you can go to Dashboard, where all your activities are usually listed. Since you have not created any invoice yet, you are asked to send your first invoice on the Dashboard. To do that, just click on the link “Send Invoice Now\u201c.<\/p>\n

Another way is to click on the “Invoices\u201c in the left menu and then to click on the “New Invoice\u201c in the right upper corner, where you can choose to create a new invoice.<\/p>\n

Each invoice must be billed to a client either new or existing. This option allows you to easily select the client that you are willing to bill or add a new client to be billed.<\/p>\n

3. Add Tax Rate (optional)<\/h4>\n

Most businesses operate on tax basis. This option allows you to automatically add tax amount to the total invoice amount with ease.<\/p>\n

4. Set Invoice Due Date<\/h4>\n

Due date allows\u00a0reminded of all outstanding invoices and payment. After adding a tax\u00a0rate, the next step is to set a deadline for the payment of the invoice.<\/p>\n
