You need an internet connection to initially load the website, but once loaded, the invoice creation functionality works locally in your browser. However, you'll need internet to download updates or access help resources.

Creating an invoice is simple: 1) Click 'Create Invoice' or 'Get Started', 2) Fill in your business information, 3) Add client details, 4) Enter line items with descriptions and amounts, 5) Customize the design if desired, and 6) Download your PDF invoice. The entire process takes less than 2 minutes.

Currently, invoice data is stored in your browser's local storage, so your last invoice details will be available when you return. However, for permanent templates, we recommend saving a completed invoice as a PDF template that you can reference for future invoices.

When creating your invoice, you can add tax rates (VAT, sales tax, etc.) that will be automatically calculated and displayed. You can also add discounts either as a percentage or fixed amount. The invoice will show the subtotal, tax, discount, and final total clearly.

After generating your PDF invoice, you can send it to clients via: 1) Email attachment (the most common method), 2) File sharing services like Dropbox or Google Drive, 3) Project management platforms, or 4) Physical mail for printed invoices. The PDF format ensures compatibility with all methods.

No, Invonest is an invoice generation tool, not a payment processor. You'll need to specify your payment methods (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.) on the invoice and handle payments separately through your chosen payment platform.

Yes! There's a dedicated section where you can add payment terms, accepted payment methods, bank details, PayPal information, or any other payment instructions your clients need to pay you.

Invonest generates invoices but doesn't track payments. We recommend using a simple spreadsheet or accounting software to track which invoices have been paid. You can include invoice numbers on your invoices to make tracking easier.

Invonest works on all modern web browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Opera. We recommend using the latest version of your browser for the best experience.

Yes! Invonest is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. However, for the best experience and easier data entry, we recommend using a desktop or laptop computer.
