Invoicing & payments

Invoice from the van. Get paid by card. Stop chasing.

Professional invoices with online card payment, automatic overdue reminders, and QuickBooks & Xero sync.

Invoicing and card payments are included in the free plan.

The work is done, the customer is happy, and then the hard part starts: writing the invoice at 9pm, waiting for a bank transfer, and sending that awkward "just checking you got my invoice" text three weeks later.

What you get

  • Create itemised VAT invoices in minutes — or convert an accepted quote in one tap
  • Take card payments online with a Stripe payment link on the invoice
  • Automatic overdue reminder emails to the customer once the due date passes — pausable per invoice
  • Record part-payments and see the outstanding balance at a glance
  • Sync invoices to QuickBooks or Xero, with payment status checked back
  • Branded PDF download and email sending built in

How it works

1

Raise it in minutes

From a job, a quote, or from scratch — line items, VAT and due date. Email it or send the link by SMS.

2

Give them a card button

Connect Stripe once and every invoice can carry a secure pay-online link. No card machine, no reading card numbers over the phone.

3

Let CertBox do the chasing

When an invoice goes past its due date, CertBox emails the customer a reminder automatically. Replies come to you.

Common questions

What does taking card payments cost?

CertBox doesn’t add a markup — you connect your own Stripe account and pay Stripe’s standard processing fees.

Does it work with my accountant’s software?

Invoices sync to QuickBooks and Xero, and CertBox can check whether a synced invoice has been paid there.

Can I stop reminders for one slow-paying customer I’m handling personally?

Yes — every invoice has a pause switch for its automatic reminders, and there’s a global toggle in settings.
