Get paid globally with PayPal Invoicing

In today’s world of borderless commerce, you may need to invoice a customer in the US one moment and Germany the next. A clunky manual invoicing process can make you vulnerable to manual errors and confusion over currencies. It can slow your cash flow and affect your ability to grow your global business.

A digital invoicing solution like PayPal Invoicing can save you time, ensure you have control over your cash flow and help you get paid faster.

The power of digital invoicing for global commerce

Whether you’re selling handcrafted goods to buyers in Germany, shipping a custom export order to a distributor in the US, or providing professional services to a firm in the UK, an e-invoicing platform like PayPal Invoicing helps keep your global business moving smoothly.

Even if you run a travel or tourism business, the right digital invoicing solution makes it easy to invoice and accept payment from international travellers.

Digital invoicing makes it easy to invoice each job in the client’s currency (or an international currency like US dollars) and schedule reminders to keep you on top of being paid.

Consulting businesses, agencies and freelancers can schedule recurring invoices for retainer contracts or bill per project for time, materials or flat fees.

However you do business internationally, a streamlined, e-invoicing solution like PayPal Invoicing can enable you to:

• Create invoices in different currencies and let your customers pay in the currency they’re most comfortable with.
• Reduce paperwork for imports/exports by including all the relevant details for customs and shipping.
• Provide payment flexibility by enabling customers to pay by international bank transfer, credit/debit cards, Apple Pay or PayPal.

How PayPal Invoicing enables global commerce

PayPal Invoicing can streamline and simplify how you invoice around the world. Better still, for customers it can simplify and speed the process of paying your invoices.

1. Support for multiple currencies – With PayPal Invoicing you can generate invoices in 20+ currencies and get paid by users in over 200 international markets.
2. Provide locally preferred payment methods – Include a payment link on every invoice to let customers pay the way they prefer – by bank transfer, card, Apple Pay or PayPal. Your customers don’t need a PayPal account to pay.
3. Easily create invoices for time, materials or flat fees – PayPal Invoicing templates make it simple to create invoices for the way you work. You can create job estimates and turn them into invoices and create freeform invoices (such as “50% of project as agreed”).
4. Schedule recurring invoices – Automatically invoice regular charges like subscriptions for the frequency and duration you require.
5. Add additional information for import officials – Use the Item Description or Message to Customer fields to add any additional information such as customs codes, along with any terms and conditions. You can save these to add to future invoices and further streamline the process.
6. Easily share and track invoices – Send invoices by email or create shareable links that you can copy and paste anywhere (for example to send by messenger chat). Schedule and send payment reminders and keep track of who has paid and who hasn’t.
