How it works
Invoices are typically part of a sales-led growth billing motion. They're fully integrated with the rest of Paddle, so they share a product catalog and customers.
You can create a draft invoice in Paddle, or build an integration to automatically create draft invoices when you create a quotation in your CRM or ERP system.
As you scope out requirements with a customer, you can make changes to your invoice and its items.
Issue an invoice when you're happy with it to mark it as finalized. At this point, it gets an invoice number and becomes a financial record. Paddle automatically creates a subscription, ready for you to provision.
When a customer pays your invoice, Paddle handles reconciliation and marks it as paid.
