Common questions
Two ways to get a professional invoice out the door. Pick the one that fits your workflow.
How do I create an invoice directly?
No account needed for your first three invoices per month. Go to Invoice / New, fill in your business and client details, add your line items (toggle VAT per line), then download the PDF. Once you have an account you can save the invoice, mark it sent, and track when it's paid โ all from your dashboard.
Go to Invoice / New

Can I create a quote first and then convert it to an invoice?
Yes โ this is the recommended flow for project work where the client needs to approve a price before you bill them. Create a quote on the Starter plan, send it to your client, and once they accept you can convert it to an invoice in one click. The invoice inherits all the quote's line items, client details, and VAT settings. The original quote is preserved and linked from the invoice for your records.

How do I log business expenses?
Go to Expense Tracker in your dashboard (Starter plan). Enter the description, amount, category, and date for each expense. If the expense includes VAT โ for example a supplier invoice โ tick 'VAT claimable' and the tool will track the input VAT for you automatically.

What is the VAT Return Summary?
The VAT Return Summary gives you a VAT201-style breakdown for each bi-monthly SARS period. It shows your output tax (VAT charged on invoices issued), your input tax (VAT on claimable expenses), and the net amount payable to SARS or refundable to you. It is a reference tool โ you still submit your official VAT201 return via SARS eFiling.

How long do I stay logged in for?
Once you sign in, you'll stay logged in for up to 30 days without needing to sign in again, even if you close the browser. If you're still signed out sooner than that, try signing in again: it usually means the 30 days have passed since your last visit, or your browser cleared its cookies.
