Invoice generation software has become an important tool for many businesses. Invoices can be helpful when tax season comes along, and they play an important role in bookkeeping tasks. We highly recommend implementing these seven invoice generators into your workflow. These programs are not rated in any particular order.

Paypal

Over the years, Paypal has become a trusted platform for handling money.(1) However, did you know that they also have an awesome online invoice generator? Paypal’s invoice generation solutions work over the Internet, allowing you to use professionally-made invoice templates to create invoices for each sale, and create a link that you can send to your customers so that they can view, print and track their invoices quickly and effortlessly. You can even create your own invoice templates, complete with company letterhead if that’s what you desire.(2)

Paypal’s solution makes returns easier to handle as well by allowing your customers to print their invoices for their records, or if your customer has somehow lost their receipt, you can simply search for the appropriate receipt using search parameters and issue refunds according to your company policies. This solution requires a Paypal Business account.(3)
