Small business owners generate and send professional invoices to formalize sales, request payments, and keep records of transaction information. Without professional invoices, your payment tracking and record keeping can suffer, and you risk losing money. The trouble is, making an invoice from scratch can be tricky, especially when you oversee many transactions a day.
Thankfully, there are all kinds of tools and apps designed to optimize and automate the invoicing process. Here’s what invoice apps do, how they can improve your business, and a list of the top apps on the Shopify App Store to get you started.
