Improve cash flow with online invoicing
As a small business owner, you’re always looking for ways to work more efficiently, improve your cash flow and impress your customers. Online invoicing checks all three of those boxes.
An online invoice is sent to customers via email or text. When customers click the invoice link in the message, they’re taken to a secure webpage where they can view their invoice and decide how and when to pay it. Most online invoicing software allows customers to pay with a credit or debit card, ACH, or payment solutions like PayPal, Apple Pay, Stripe, Square and Google Pay. By accelerating the payment process, online invoicing helps to accelerate cash flow and offer customers more convenience while minimizing the time spent on invoicing tasks.
As a do-it-all platform offering some of the best small business tools, Thryv provides solutions that deliver all the benefits of online invoicing.
The benefits of online invoicing
Online invoicing offers a wealth of benefits for your small business and your customers.
- Faster payments. While sending an invoice and receiving payment by mail may take up to a week or more, an online invoice is received immediately. When customers choose to pay online immediately as well, it’s easier to maintain a healthy cash flow.
- Greater convenience. Customers love online invoicing because it gives them more ways to pay and lets them avoid the hassle of writing and sending a check in the mail.
- Less time. Online invoices take much less time to prepare and send, allowing you and your team to spend more time on other tasks.
- Automated processes. With online invoicing, you can set up recurring payments for long-term clients that get sent automatically. You can also automate reminders for upcoming and past-due invoices.
- Lower cost. When you add up the time involved in preparing manual invoices and the cost of paper, printer ink and postage, it’s easy to see how you can save money by sending invoices online.
- Easier audits. With a cloud-based online invoicing solution, everything can be easily saved and retrieved, making it easy to produce reports for auditors and accountants.
- Fewer errors. Manually prepared invoices are more prone to errors than invoices that are prepared automatically online. When your invoices are accurate, you can avoid the unpleasant conversations with customers who are frustrated with billing errors.
- More flexibility. Superior online invoice software lets you prepare invoices from anywhere – from the office, home or on the go – using your mobile phone, tablet or laptop.
