You can tailor your invoices with custom text to better suit your business needs. There are two options for adding this text:
Default Invoice Text: This allows you to include a standard message on all your invoices. It's a great way to add company information, payment terms, late fees (if applicable), or a general thank you message to your clients.
Custom Text per Inspection: If you need more specific information on a per-job basis, you can add custom text for each inspection. This might be useful to include details about the inspection performed, warranty information specific to the repair, or any other relevant information for that particular client or project.
Adding Text to All Invoices
You can quickly and easily add text that will show up on all new inspections! This allows you to include standard information on every invoice, like your business/company address. Follow the steps below to see how to add default text to your invoices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the descriptions of the services I entered on the Services & Fees page show up on the invoice?
The descriptions of services do not show up on the invoice.
Can I add my business/company address to my invoices? I have clients who prefer to mail a check for payment.
You absolutely can! As this information is not listed on the invoice by default, it is a good idea to add your company address to all of your invoices using the steps in part one of this article.
How can I direct someone to the invoice and not the client portal? Is there a link I can use?
There is! You can include the {{INVOICE_LINK}} placeholder in your emails, which would direct the client/agent straight to the invoice.
How do I share the invoice with someone?
You can download a PDF of the invoice and either print it or email it to someone with the steps listed in this article.
Someone else (besides the client) wants to pay the invoice, what do I do?
Is there a way to have an invoice that's been paid by an agent to show the last 4 digits of their CC on the invoice?
There isn't a way to have this information added to the invoice automatically, however, you can add this information to that invoice manually with the steps above.
