Wix Invoices: Creating an Invoice

6 min read
Simplify your billing with Wix Invoices. Create and send professional invoices, track their statuses and receive payments through your Wix account.

Tailor your invoices to your business needs, including applying discounts, requesting deposits, adding taxes, and more. Once your invoice is ready, send it by email to your client. Your client receives an email you've customized, with a link to view their invoice and make a payment.
Important:
This article refers to the Wix Invoices feature. If you are looking for your invoices for payments you made to Wix, click here.
Before you begin:
In order to accept payments from clients in Wix Invoices, you must set up a payment method. If you've already set up a payment method for Wix Stores, Wix Bookings or Wix Events, you do not need to set one up again.

To set up a payment method, go to Invoices in your site's dashboard, click More Actions at the top right and click Accept payments.
