Video summary

GoDaddy Invoicing empowers businesses to expand their revenue streams beyond the physical counter by seamlessly handling off-site sales such as catering orders, custom jobs, and event deposits from a single dashboard. The system allows users to pull items directly from their existing product catalog into an invoice while automatically updating inventory levels, ensuring accuracy without manual intervention. A particularly useful feature is milestone billing, which enables business owners to collect immediate deposits in person and schedule the remaining balance to be invoiced automatically at a later date, effectively improving cash flow for larger projects. Once configured, the platform streamlines the entire billing process by allowing users to set up recurring invoices and establish automatic reminders that notify customers before their due dates and again if payment is overdue. Customers receive a professional, branded invoice in minutes that includes the business's logo, email address, and domain, along with a clean checkout page hosted on the same GoDaddy domain to eliminate friction during payment. Upon completion of a transaction, the business owner receives instant notifications, removing the need to chase payments or guess the status of an order, while orders can be easily marked as fulfilled directly from the smart terminal or order page once picked up or shipped. The solution also offers robust financial management tools that allow users to filter invoices by payment status, edit documents inline, and send manual reminders with personalized messages. Additional capabilities include saving cards on file for faster future transactions, collecting tips, and attaching contracts or project details directly to the invoice. These features are supported by highly competitive pricing structures, with Invoicing Plus offering card transaction fees as low as 2.8% plus 30 cents, while ACH bank transfers for larger invoices over $1,250 are capped at a flat fee of just $10. Businesses can further reduce costs by opting into the Rate Saver program, which allows them to pay as little as 0% on credit cards and receive discounted debit rates by adding a small surcharge to card transactions. Since invoicing is included with GoDaddy Payments, users can start for free or unlock advanced features like lower transaction fees by upgrading to Invoicing Plus. Ultimately, this integrated system provides a comprehensive way to manage all sales in one place, helping businesses keep more of every sale while taking their operations beyond the limitations of the physical counter.
