WRITE THE INVOICE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE DRIVEWAY. Invoice Maker for Trades asks you one question at a time — who it's for, what you did, what it cost — and hands you a finished invoice you can email or print on the spot. No accounting software to learn, no monthly seat you forgot you were paying for. BUILT FOR HOW TRADES ACTUALLY BILL - Line items with a description and an amount, in the order you did them - Labor isn't taxed by default - tax applies to materials only, the way most states work. One switch on invoice preview page taxes labor too, for Hawaii, New Mexico, South Dakota, and repair work in Texas and West Virginia. - Add tax at any rate, or leave it off entirely - Your business name, phone, email and logo are remembered — enter them once, not on every job GET PAID FASTER - Add a payment link, Venmo handle or Zelle number - A QR code is generated automatically, so your customer pays by pointing their phone at the invoice SEND IT HOWEVER YOU LIKE - Email straight from the app - Export a true-size PDF that prints exactly as laid out — no scaling, no surprises - Print from your phone to any AirPrint printer WORKS FOR ANY TRADE Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, landscaping, handyman work, roofing, painting, welding, masonry, septic, siding, flooring, window cleaning — if you bill for labor and materials, it fits.
