Invoice in the currency your customer actually uses
Most Gaffer businesses bill in sterling, but not all of them. Currency and locale are set per business, so amounts, dates and number formats render the way your customers expect rather than being anglicised on every document you send.
Part of invoicing & payments in Gaffer, which replaces a separate invoicing app and a folder of unpaid PDFs.
Invoice from the driveway. Get paid before you leave it.
One tap turns the job into a branded invoice with a Pay Now link — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Direct Debit. Reminders chase politely on your behalf. Xero or QuickBooks are updated for you.
The chasing happens on a schedule instead of when you finally get round to it, and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.
Multi-currency is one of the 20 things in invoicing & payments. See the rest →
- Currency locale set separately, defaulting to en-GB
- Applies to quotes, invoices, statements and reports
- Consistent across the web app and the mobile app
- Works with Stripe card payments and payment links
- No per-document currency juggling to get wrong
- Configured once in business settings
Step 05 of the job: invoice
Marking the job complete raises the invoice from the accepted quote, nets off the deposit, attaches the certificate and sends it with a Pay Now link — before the van has left the drive.
Invoicing & Payments is where multi-currency sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

When does the money actually reach my account?
Card payments go to your own Stripe account on Stripe’s normal payout schedule, and Direct Debit through your own GoCardless account. Gaffer never holds your money and takes no cut of it.
Does it handle VAT and CIS properly?
Yes. VAT is per line with your rates and the invoice is a valid VAT invoice. Returns are worked out across all nine boxes from your own invoices and expenses, ready to check and hand to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage to file. Direct submission to HMRC under Making Tax Digital is built but not switched on yet — we will say so here the day it is. CIS deductions are recorded per subcontractor with the monthly return totalled for you.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Multi-currency is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
