What to look for in a mobile invoicing app.

When you’re issuing invoices on the go, there are features you need to look for in your mobile invoicing app to ensure it will save you time, and make the invoicing process easier. Here are 8 questions to consider. 

1. Is it faster to send invoices? When you’re sending mobile invoices from Zeller App, you can create and send an invoice in under 30 seconds. From suggesting existing Items and contacts as you type, to enabling scheduled sends, Zeller Invoices has been meticulously designed to make it easier for you to create, design, and send an invoice from the convenience of your smartphone. 

2. Can you still customise and personalise invoices? Convenience shouldn’t have to come at the cost of professionalism or style. With three sleek, customisable templates to choose from, Zeller Invoices look sharp in seconds. Plus you can add your business logo and brand colours, as well as a personalised message, in just a few taps.

3. Does it save you admin time at the end of the day? Traditional online invoicing software keeps you tied to your desktop. But many businesses – such as tradies, freelancers, or mobile vendors – don’t operate from behind a desk during the day. Sending invoices from Zeller App gives you the flexibility to send invoices straight from the job site, saving you time at the end of the workday that you’d typically be spending on business admin.

4. Can you track your invoices in real-time? Whether you’re using a computer or Zeller App, Zeller Invoices enables you to keep tabs on every invoice with a real-time view of what’s been sent, paid, followed up or left overdue – all colour-coded and easy to read at a glance. No more digging through emails or chasing updates. You'll even get a push notification and email to let you know as soon as an invoice is paid.

5. Is it easy and secure for your clients? Every Zeller Invoice includes a 3D Secure payment link, so your customers can safely pay in a few clicks using their preferred card.

6. Does it help you receive your money faster? Zeller Invoice payments are settled nightly to your Zeller Account, or next business day to your own, third-party bank account. While many mobile invoicing apps may have you wait 2-3 days to receive your funds, we’ll make sure you’re always getting your settlements fast.

7. Does it offer automated payment reminders? Zeller Invoices on Zeller App has all these same features as the desktop version, including automatic payment reminders. Say goodbye to the hassle and awkwardness of chasing up slow payers – let Zeller Invoices do it for you.

8. Are there costly subscription fees? Unlike most other online invoicing platforms, it’s free to send unlimited invoices with Zeller. You’re only charged a low transaction fee in the event your client chooses to pay their invoice online via credit or debit card.

Introducing Zeller Invoices – online invoicing software that gets you paid faster

Smarter invoicing software designed for any business. Online invoicing is an essential part of running any type of business, but it can sometimes be a source of stress and frustration. If it’s time to upgrade from sending invoices manually, or if your business is looking to streamline how you track and manage late invoice payments, you’re not alone. What if there was a free, simple-to-use online invoicing software that streamlines invoicing and helps you get paid faster? Introducing Zeller Invoices . With Zeller Invoices, you can create and send professional online invoices in seconds from anywhere. From there, it’s simple to track and manage every invoice from one convenient online dashboard. Whether you're a restaurant owner issuing an invoice for an event deposit; a tradesperson sending invoices to collect payment for work completed; a wholesaler supplying goods to a chain of retail businesses on a recurring basis; or a freelance designer sending invoices to multiple clients  — Zeller Invoices lets you take control of your invoicing from start to finish. Powerful invoicing features Read on to discover how Zeller Invoices works — and what features are under the hood to help save you time, and reduce late payments. Create an online invoice in seconds With Zeller’s online invoicing software, you can create and send as many online invoices as you like for free. You can start the invoice creation process in your Zeller Account in the “ Invoices” tab of the menu bar — you’ll be guided through a step-by-step creation of your first invoice, from attaching a contact (a customer, business or supplier) to your invoice from Zeller Contact Directory , through to adding items and the requisite price, adding a due date, and then hitting send. You can even choose to schedule a specific date in the future for your Zeller Invoices to be sent. If you need to make changes to an invoice, you can easily edit, duplicate or cancel the invoice if required. You can even check a PDF preview of your Zeller Invoices to see how they will look to the recipient before you send them. For detailed steps on creating and sending a Zeller Invoice, follow this guide in the Zeller Support Centre. Accept invoice payments online Every Zeller Invoice can be paid online via Zeller’s secure online payment gateway. Customers can select to pay the invoice online via Visa, Mastercard, American Express or JCB for one low, flat rate . There are no monthly subscription fees to use Zeller Invoices either — you’re only charged if a customer selects to pay their invoice online using Zeller’s online payment gateway. Invoices that are paid online will be settled to your linked Zeller Transaction Account nightly or the next business day to third-party bank accounts. For business owners who don’t have a physical location — such as a freelancer or mobile service provider —online payments are an easier way to ensure you’re getting paid faster, without having to meet in person or chase up cash payments or direct deposits. Streamline invoice creation with item management When creating an invoice with Zeller, you can choose to add one-off line items for goods or services sold. Alternatively, you can create a list of goods or services you sell frequently in your new item management service. Saved items can then be quickly added to future invoices sent. Within item management, you can choose to customise GST preferences or apply discounts for a percentage or dollar amount by item, that reflect your business’ pricing and individual scenarios with different customers. Item management is particularly handy for businesses that regularly sell the same products or services, such as an accountant offering a standard consultation fee, or a wholesaler with a standard purchase price on goods sold to retailers. By saving each item in your item management library, future invoice creation will be much faster. Automate reminders to prompt payment With data from Accenture and Xero estimating a $1.1 billion cost to Australian small businesses as a result of invoice payment delays, it’s essential that business owners are enlisting the right online invoicing software that reduces the impact of late payments on their business. Zeller Invoices enables you to schedule automated reminders to be sent to invoice recipients before, on, and after the invoice due date. A gentle reminder to your customer that payment is due will drive urgency towards payments, combined with the ability to automate reminders which also minimises impact on your busy schedule. You can also choose to send your own manual reminders, or edit reminders for a specific invoice or contact, in just a few clicks, too. Track payment status When you’re busy focusing on running and growing your business, it’s easy to forget the payment status of every invoice sent. Zeller Invoices makes tracking invoice status easier with a built-in activity timeline and next-action prompts. Your invoice activity timeline provides you with a chronological list of all the actions taken on an invoice, including creation, send and payment dates. At a glance, this log shows you detailed information about each action, such as the date and time, which employee performed the action and any added notes or comments — giving you complete visibility over the actions taken to get the invoice paid. With the next action prompts embedded within the activity timeline, you can quickly take action on an invoice; such as sending a reminder or marking it as paid in the event your client made payment outside of Zeller’s online payment gateway. Personalise your invoices Looking professional is paramount for any growing business — and that’s just as important when you’re invoicing, too. With Zeller Invoices, you can add your business logo to your PDF invoice, online payment page, and payment receipt. Adding your logo ensures that your business looks professional, and will make a strong and positive brand impression on your customers. With more invoice customisation coming soon to Zeller Invoices, you’ll always feel confident knowing your business is putting its best foot forward.
