Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of using invoice templates?
Businesses need their invoices to be clear, legally valid, set on time and professional–a hastily typed Word document or email simply doesn’t give the right impression and can pretty easily be mistaken for spam.
Invoice template provides a done-for-you format. All you need to do is upload your logo and company details (or personal information if you’re a freelancer) and enter the relevant billing to have a professional invoice. It’s quick, simple, and free!
Missing out something crucial from an invoice is all too easy when you’re in a rush, working through a massive pile of outstanding admin, or trying to type or write out every business invoice manually. Our templates are ready to go, with options to link to your preferred payment method, ensuring you don’t skip past anything important, such as sales tax, payment due dates, or your contact details.
Which invoice template formats should I use?
The choice of invoice template is yours–browse through our professional templates and pick a style that feels right for your business! Our free plan includes four freelance invoice templates to choose from, or you can go Pro and unlock access to a library of eleven invoice formats that you can use for your business.
When you first create your Invoice Ninja account, we’ll give you a nudge to upload your business logo to invoices, so every invoice you produce is tailored to you.
How do I make an invoice for my small business?
It’s simple, and you don’t need bookkeeping or accounting expertise to produce professional, consistent invoices, whether you’re an experienced business owner or just starting out. Here’s how it works:
- Create an Invoice Ninja account, enter your details, and upload your logo onto the invoice.
- Pick the template you like best, and type in the relevant info: customer name, address, and any other relevant invoicing details.
That’s it! Shoot your invoice over to your client directly and integrate your payments solution if you wish, such as a Pay Now button linked to your Stripe, PayPal or WePay account, and you can tick your invoicing off the list.

What is a Merchant Processor/ “Payment Gateway”
The ‘payment gateway’ processes your clients payment and your clients never leave their Invoice Ninja client-portal.
