About

PayPal Invoicing lets freelancers, service professionals, consultants and small businesses bill clients directly. Invoices can include a company name, brand colors, logo, taxes, discounts, shipping details and notes. Send them by email, SMS, messaging apps, social media or QR code, then track whether each invoice was sent, opened or paid in the dashboard. Templates support recurring invoices, while automatic reminders and QuickBooks and Xero sync can reduce manual billing work. Users can create and manage invoices on the web, iOS and Android, including through the PayPal app. A PayPal account is required to create and send invoices, but customers do not need an account to pay. Creating and sending invoices has no setup or subscription fee; transaction fees apply when customers pay. The listed PayPal and Venmo rate is 3.49 USD per once (billed 3.49% + $0.49 per transaction); Pay Later is 4.99 USD per once (billed 4.99% + $0.49 per transaction). Fixed fees vary by currency received, and international transactions may add a percentage-based fee. The service is listed in over 200 markets and 24 currencies.
