We sure do! With a Wave Pro subscription, you'll have recurring billing and other automation features. Schedule everything, from invoice creation and invoice sending, to payment collection and overdue payment reminders.
What payment methods can my customers use?
Your customers can pay the invoices you send them instantly by credit card, secure bank payment (ACH/EFT), or Apple Pay. And by enabling Wave’s payments feature, you can accept credit cards and bank payments, and get paid out in as fast as 1-2 business days1.
How do I calculate taxes on my invoices?
A common issue when invoicing in Microsoft Word, Excel, or other DIY solutions is making calculation errors. Wave's invoicing software for small businesses removes the worry of making these errors because calculations are done for you, including the taxes.
How is a digital invoice different from a paper-based invoice?
Electronic invoices are created with online invoicing software or other cloud-based services, which makes it easy to automate the invoicing process. Electronic invoices also provide small business owners with professional-looking digital invoices that their customers can pay easily online through a system like Wave’s online payments.
On the other hand, paper-based invoicing is a manual process requiring extra time for things like invoice tracking and following up on overdue invoices, which can keep you away from the best parts of running your small business.
What are the benefits of digital invoicing?
Manually creating invoices in Microsoft Word or Excel can be time-consuming and difficult to manage. Digital invoicing empowers your small business by automating invoice processing and saving time by tracking key invoice data like upcoming and outstanding invoices. You can also manage late payments more efficiently through e-invoicing by setting up payment reminders to send to your customers before an invoice due date.
Is invoicing software helpful for freelancers?
Absolutely! Whether you're a freelance writer, a freelance editor, a freelance front-end developer, or even a freelance balloon maker (no articles on that yet, sorry), you can use invoicing software to send professional looking invoices to your clients and get paid faster.
How do I know what to charge when invoicing my freelance clients?
The rate that you charge for your freelancing services can vary, so it's important to get a grasp of market trends before sending your clients an invoice or quoting a price. Freelance rates can differ depending on experience level and industry. For example, the rate a freelance web developer charges may be different than that of a freelance graphic designer, because each freelancer specializes in a different area.
1 Payouts are processed in 1-2 business days for credit card payments and 1-7 business days for bank payments. Deposit times may vary due to processing cutoff times, third party delays, or risk reviews.
2 Rates are 1% for bank payments (minimum fee of $1). For information on credit card rates, visit Pricing for details.
