Every detail about creating, editing, sending, and managing invoices.

Invoice statuses

Editing an invoice

Click the Edit button next to any invoice. You can change anything — line items, totals, customer, dates, status.

⚠ Edits show retroactivelyOnce an invoice is sent, your client may have already saved or printed the original. Always send a clear note explaining the change, and consider issuing a credit note + new invoice instead.

Duplicating an invoice

From the invoice list, hover over the ... menu → Duplicate. Creates a new draft with the same items, customer, and amount but a fresh invoice number and today's date.

Deleting

Click the red ✕ button. Permanent — there's no undo. Recorded payments and credit notes referencing the invoice will be detached.

Bulk actions

Tick the checkboxes on multiple invoices to bulk Mark as Paid, Mark as Sent, Send Reminder, or Delete. See Bulk actions.

Public invoice link

Every invoice has a unique public URL: invoicely.live/invoice/{token}/. Anyone with this link can view and pay the invoice — no login required. Tokens are 48-character random hex strings, impossible to guess.
