Let's learn how to create a one-time invoice in Ignition!


What can you do with Create Invoice

Create Invoice is perfect for quick, one-time invoices with no proposal required.

  • Send an invoice to collect payment instantly or request payment

  • Add services on the fly for fast billing

  • Keep things lightweight when you don’t need advanced scheduling or a recurring cadence

It’s the most straightforward invoicing experience in Ignition. It's ideal for those moments when you need to send an invoice and move on with your day.

How to create a one-time invoice

You can create a one-time invoice from any page in Ignition by clicking the Create new → Invoice.

Next, select a client. Click + Add service to view and search your full library of services. Select the service you would like to add. Here you can customize attributes such as the service description, quantity, price or add a discount.

Enable Payment collection to automatically collect payment using a saved payment method, or include a request for a payment method when sending the invoice

You can send your client an email and set up automatic reminders to follow up for you.

When you are ready to confirm the invoice, click Create & send. The invoice will be added to your client's list of invoices under their client file.


How does this fit with Instant Bill

While Create Invoice is optimized for simplicity, Instant Bill remains a powerful option for more advanced billing needs, such as setting up recurring charges or scheduling services to bill later.

These two features do not require a proposal. We recommend:

  • Create Invoice → for quick, one-off billing

  • Instant Bill → for recurring, scheduled, or more structured invoicing.
