Fitted wardrobes, a bespoke staircase, a kitchen, internal doors, decking. The materials go on your card weeks before the job is signed off. Sendinvo puts a deposit up front, a priced quote in the client’s inbox, and the rest of the money on dates that chase themselves.
Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.
“I’ve bought the oak before I’ve seen a penny.”
Ask for a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount with its own due date, so the timber and the ironmongery are funded before you cut anything. It’s chased ahead of the balance. If you’d rather spread the whole job, put it on a payment plan instead: an invoice carries a deposit or a plan, not both.
Deposits and payment plans“Every job’s a one-off, so every price is too.”
Price the carcasses, the doors, the fitting, and the finish as separate lines, set a valid-until date, and send it. The client reads the spec and accepts in the browser, then one press opens a new invoice pre-filled from the quote for you to check and send.
How quotes work“It’s fitted, it’s beautiful, and I’m still waiting.”
Once the piece is fitted and the invoice is sent, the reminders take over at 1, 7, and 14 days past due unless you change them. You’re on the next bench job, not writing “just checking”.
How reminders workAround those three: reminders escalate without you writing another “just checking” email, statutory interest on an overdue sterling invoice is worked out from the base rate you keep in settings and drafted as its own invoice to review, CIS deductions are handled when you’re second-fixing for a builder, on an invoice of their own, and connecting Stripe puts a pay link on every invoice, payable by card or straight from the bank, for the client who wants it done today, with Stripe’s processing fees applying.
The real app, filled with a joiner’s work: a staircase quote out with a homeowner, a kitchen on a staged plan, a materials deposit on a fitted wardrobe, and a monthly second-fix subcontract for a builder. Have a click around.
A live demo seeded with a joinery business. Nothing you do here is saved or sent.
One invoice, three stages, each on the date it’s actually earned.
The first stage covers the materials on order, and each later stage is chased on its own date.
Yes. Attach photos of the finished piece to the invoice email and they arrive next to the PDF, so your client sees the work again as they read the bill.
Yes. Ask for a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, with its own due date, and it is chased before anything else. Once the deposit lands, chasing moves on to the balance.
Yes. Split one invoice into a milestone payment plan, two or more stages each with its own amount and due date, adding up to the total. Payment plans are available on a paid plan.
Every quote gets its own link. The client opens it, reads the spec line by line, and accepts or declines in the browser. You see the answer in the activity log, and “Convert to invoice” opens a new invoice pre-filled from the quote, ready for you to check and send.
Yes. Turn CIS on in your company settings, tick it on the invoice, then enter the labour element and the deduction comes off that, with the gross total and the net amount due both shown. If you’re VAT-registered, the domestic reverse charge is a separate tick alongside it.
