Common questions about invoicing
How do customers pay an invoice?
Every invoice carries a secure pay-now link, so customers can pay by card in a couple of taps or set up a Direct Debit. The payment is reconciled against the invoice automatically.
Can I invoice on my phone with no signal?
Yes. The Gaffer app is offline-first, so you can build and save an invoice on site with no signal, and it sends and syncs automatically once you are back online.
Will my invoices sync with my accounting software?
Yes. Invoices, payments and contacts push straight through to Xero and QuickBooks, so there is no double entry and your books stay up to date.
How much does it cost and is there a trial?
