Invoicing & payments
Raise the invoice from the job, so its hours and parts come with it. Send it, and the customer pays from the link.
Built from the job
Hours come across at your charge-out rate, with after-hours and named rates when you need them. Parts come with your margin.
Pay now, by card
Set up card payments and each invoice can be paid by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and marks itself paid. Stripe's card fee, plus GoSmoko 1%, capped at $20 a payment.
Chase without the awkward call
Chase it sends your overdue reminder. Turn on automatic reminders a week and three weeks after the due date.
Your words, your logo
Change the wording of every email you send, and put your logo and colour on the invoice.
Credit notes
A sent invoice is never edited. Credit part or all of it, and it nets off the customer and Xero.
Straight into Xero
Sent invoices are created in Xero against the matching contact, with GST intact.
Questions
Do I need Stripe to send invoices?
No. Without card payments you still get a full tax invoice with your bank details for direct credit, and you record payments yourself. Card payments just remove the chasing.
Did my invoice arrive?
Every emailed invoice shows Delivered or Bounced. Bounced names the address that failed, so you can fix it and resend, or share the invoice link another way.
Can I take part payment or a deposit?
You can record any number of part payments against an invoice and the balance tracks correctly. Taking a deposit against a quote through Stripe is on the roadmap.
What do card payments cost?
No monthly fee. When a customer pays by card, Stripe takes its usual card fee and GoSmoko adds 1%, capped at $20 a payment, on top. On a $1,000 invoice GoSmoko's part is $10. Both come off before the money reaches your bank.
Where do refunds happen?
In your Stripe Dashboard. The money is paid into your own Stripe account, so refunds and disputes are handled there, in one place with one audit trail.
