How Invoices Work in QuoteLock

Invoicing built for trades — raise an invoice from a quote, a job, or from scratch, send it your way, and track what's been paid.

The invoices dashboard in QuoteLock
Raise invoices from quotes and track paid, partial and overdue.

Create from an accepted quote or job

Turn an accepted quote or a completed job into an invoice in one click, keeping the same line items and tax — no retyping.

Create a standalone invoice

Need to bill for ad-hoc work? Go to Invoices → New invoice and add a simple description, amount and tax. No quote required.

Add your details and payment instructions

Adjust line items, add bank details and an external payment link (Stripe, Revolut, SumUp, bank transfer) so customers can pay their way.

Attach supporting files

Attach photos, PDFs, certificates or other documents (up to 15MB each) so everything the customer needs is in one place.

Send it your way

Send the invoice by email as a secure link, a PDF attachment, or both — and add CC/BCC recipients (your accountant, a second contact). You can edit the recipient, subject and message before it goes.

Record payments

Log manual payments and mark an invoice as paid, or record a part-payment to track the remaining balance.

Edit, void or delete

Edit sent invoices when something changes (paid invoices are locked — void to correct), void an invoice to cancel it while keeping the record, or delete a draft you no longer need.

Helpful tips

  • Attach before/after photos to speed up payment
  • Use CC/BCC to keep your accountant in the loop
  • Send both a link and a PDF so customers can pay online or file the PDF
