Step 4
Click ‘Get Started‘ in the upper-right ‘Create an invoice’ box.
Step 5
Select the ‘+ Create‘ button, which is located on the far right side of the page.
Step 6
- If the issuer of the invoice will be charging products that were sold, select ‘Quantity‘ from the drop-down tab next to ‘My templates.’ If charging by an amount of time, select ‘Hours.’
- On the right-hand side of the screen, enter the Invoice Number, the Invoice Date, the Reference (if applicable), and the Date that the invoice will be due.

- Enter any Notes to the customer as well as the Terms and Conditions to the invoice in the two text boxes at the bottom of the page.
- To examine the invoice before sending, click the blue ‘Preview‘ button. This provides a chance for the issuing company to ensure that there are no errors in the invoice.
- After ensuring the invoice is free of errors, select the grey ‘Send‘ button next to the ‘Preview‘ button. The Paypal Invoice has now been complete.
