Itemize invoices so clients can see a clear breakdown of the charges by item(s), with quantity if need be, appointment(s), add on product(s), and/or expense(s) such as gas, mileage, or supplies.
To turn on itemization, tap on settings > features > itemization > save.
Tap on invoice to get started:
First add the client's name. The total will pre-populate depending on the items added under "itemize".
Under Add an Item, you can select from the service, class, or product list. Once you tap on done, if you need to add more items > tap on items again > add another item. You can also choose at the item level if you want to toggle on/off sales tax and the quantity of the item.
Tap on expense if there are other costs you need to account with for with the client. Add a memo that will appear in the line item to provide further information about the expense type. Like "add an item", you can tap back to expense to add additional expenses.
Tap on add an appointment, to add 1 appointment or multiple appointments. If you have multiple appointments open that have not been paid, you can tap the circle next to each appointment for it to be added.
You'll have a lovely itemized view of all the items you've added to an invoice. If you toggled on sales tax for some items, this will appear in the preview of the invoice. The total shown on this screen is the subtotal.
You can preview the PDF invoice that will be sent to the client in 2 places - 1) at the bottom of the invoice setup screen and 2) when you tap on next > preview. On that preview screen, you can also select to save the invoice or send the invoice. As mentioned above, the sales tax is shown on the preview. In this case, sales tax was only applied to the leash.
Pro Tip:
Make sure to add a logo under settings > profile so that your logo appears on all invoices. Also, double check the address under settings > location to ensure the proper address is appearing. If you do not want to share your full address, just add a city and zip code.
