So in this tutorial I'm going to show
0:02
you how you can create an invoice and
0:04
send it to your client. So I want to
0:06
send a request for a payment from one of
0:09
my client. So I went ahead and logged
0:11
into my PayPal account and here it is. I
0:13
am on my homepage. Now from here just go
0:17
ahead and click on create an invoice
0:20
which is this. So if you click on
0:24
this now we can go ahead and enter the
0:26
customer's name or email. So I have this
0:30
email for my client. I'll just go ahead
0:32
and paste it in. And here we
0:35
go. It is done. Then the next thing you
0:38
need to do. So that is who we are
0:40
billing. If you're sending this to more
0:42
than one recipient, you can go ahead and
0:45
tap on add more recipients here and
0:47
you'll be able to add multiple emails.
0:50
So once you're done, it's time to go
0:51
ahead and give details of what they are
0:54
paying for. So if I go ahead and click
0:56
here, my client is paying for a
0:58
sponsored guest post. So I'll
1:05
write so I can go ahead and write or
1:08
just select from one of these that I had
1:10
al that I had created earlier and it
1:13
will be inserted. So under this go ahead
1:15
and tap on new item. Then specify
1:18
whether it's goods or services and here
1:21
we go. If you select services, it will
1:24
include the time which is hours and
1:27
rate. However, if it's goods, you just
1:29
include the quantity and then price per
1:32
unit. So for mine, I'll select goods.
1:35
Specify that it is a
1:41
sponsored guest
1:43
post and the quantity is just one. The
1:47
price is
1:49
$30 and the currency is in US dollar. So
1:52
I'll leave this as it is just like that.
1:56
And if you want to add a little bit of
1:59
description, go ahead and do that. So
2:01
for my case, I'll add a description and
2:03
that is respond that guest post link. So
2:06
I'll
2:07
insert
2:10
link or post link.
2:14
Then I'll place the link here under the
2:16
description. You have an option to add
2:20
up to 400 characters. So once you're
2:23
done, just go ahead and click on
2:26
add. I have already saved this item. So
2:29
I'll not need to repeat it. I can delete
2:32
it. Just
2:34
post like that. Right, it is done. So
2:38
for the other details, I'll leave them
2:40
as they are. And if you have a special
2:42
note to your client, you can go ahead
2:44
and indicate it here. You may want to go
2:46
ahead and set the due date. By default,
2:49
it is set to due on recipient. If you
2:51
want to edit this or change that, you
2:54
can go ahead and click on this edit,
2:56
then set to a specific date you wish
2:58
your invoice to be due. So once you're
3:01
done, it's time to send our invoice to
3:03
our client. And to do so, just use the
3:05
send option, which is here. I'll click
3:08
on send. Now that I've confirmed
3:10
everything is
3:15
okay, I'll click on
3:21
done. And now our client has received
3:24
our invoice. Then you can go ahead if
3:26
you want to download this invoice. Just
3:28
click on this ellipses. Then choose the
3:31
download format you want to download in.
3:33
You can download as a PDF. And this will
3:36
go
3:37
ahead and load the invoice here. As you
3:40
can see, you can decide whether you want
3:42
to include the QR or not by using this
3:44
option
3:48
here. We tap on that. We shall remove
3:51
the QR and then go ahead and
3:56
download and it will come directly to my
3:59
computer. On the other hand, if you want
4:01
your invoice link, you can still go to
4:03
these ellipses and then tap on share
4:06
link and then this will expose your your
4:08
PayPal invoice link. You can now go
4:10
ahead and copy then share with your
4:12
client. So that's how you create an
4:15
invoice in PayPal. If you have any other
