Review and request payment

After creating the invoice, return to Billing to check the client, amount due, issue date, due date, and status. Use the payment action on the invoice row only after reviewing the amounts and instructions. You can email an invoice without connecting Stripe. The email includes your payment instructions, such as e-transfer details. When Stripe is connected, it also includes an online payment link.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot create an online payment link, confirm that Stripe is connected. Check the invoice status before sending another request so the client does not receive duplicate requests. If sending fails, the dialog shows the error and keeps your recipient and subject so you can retry.
