What is an invoice?

An invoice is a document a seller sends to a buyer listing what was delivered, what it costs, and by when payment is due. It is not a receipt (that confirms payment) and not a quote (that estimates cost) — it requests payment for work already agreed or done.

Frequently asked questions

Is an invoice a legal document?

It's a business record that supports your accounting and tax filing; some jurisdictions require specific fields like tax IDs for certain transactions.

What's the difference between an invoice and a receipt?

An invoice asks for payment; a receipt confirms payment received. Many businesses issue both for the same transaction.
