How to create an invoice
Use this flow when you want to make a new invoice from scratch or update a saved draft.
Go to Invoices and choose Create New Invoice. That opens the invoice editor.
Add the customer name, email, and address. If the client already exists, pick them from the saved client list to reuse their details.
Check your business name, email, logo, address, and invoice label so the invoice looks right before you send it.
List the products or services, quantity, and unit price. The app calculates the subtotal and total automatically.
Use discount, shipping, tax rate, and payment terms to match the exact amount you want to charge.
Choose the right status, then save the invoice. You can come back later to edit it, duplicate it, or mark it as paid.
What you can do with a saved invoice
Once an invoice exists, you can keep working from the invoice detail page without starting over.
Open the invoice to download the PDF or print it from your browser.
Use the send option when you want the customer to receive the invoice by email.
Update the same invoice later, or duplicate it when you need another invoice with similar details.
Review the invoice logs when you want to see activity like payment changes or other invoice events.
Why client records matter
Saved clients make invoicing faster because you can reuse contact details instead of typing the same information again.
When a customer becomes a regular client, save them in Clients so future invoices are quicker to build.
Client records help keep billing details tidy and reduce mistakes when you send invoices or review history.
How to track paid and unpaid invoices
Use the payments view when you want a quick summary of what has been billed, what has been collected, and what still needs follow-up.
The invoice is complete and the amount has been collected.
The invoice has been issued, but the payment is still waiting.
Some money has been received, but a balance is still due.
The due date passed and the invoice still needs attention.
Track relationships from lead to paid client
Open CRM to keep every lead and customer moving forward instead of getting lost in your inbox.
Move deals through stages so you always know what is new, in progress, won, or stalled.
Keep names, emails, and company details in one place. The same records power your saved clients for invoicing.
Track the next step for each contact so nothing slips through after the first conversation.
When a deal is won, reuse the contact details to create an invoice in Invoice & Billing without retyping anything.
Keep your books and tax records in order
Open Rapid Books for the accounting side of your business. Reports and exports are available on the Pro and Business plans.
Record income, expenses, and journal entries so your accounts stay accurate over time.
Track tax on what you bill and what you spend, ready for your filing period.
Match bank transactions against your records to catch anything missing or duplicated.
Scan a receipt and let Rapid Books read the details, so expense entry is faster (paid plans).
Review profit and loss, trial balance, and ledgers to understand how the business is doing.
Export ledgers and reports as CSV to share with your accountant or import elsewhere.
Talk to your team without leaving Rapid Hub
Hub Chat is available on the Pro and Business plans. The Free plan is a solo workspace, so chat unlocks once you can invite teammates.
Organize conversations by topic or project. Pro includes up to 10 channels; Business is unlimited.
Message a teammate one-to-one for quick questions that do not need a channel.
Use @mentions to pull the right person into a thread and get their attention.
Free workspaces keep 90 days of history. Pro and Business keep your full message history.
Capture quick notes and to-dos
Open Rapid Notes for the things you want to remember without opening a separate notes app.
Jot down a thought or pin a sticky note so it stays in front of you.
Build simple to-do lists and tick items off as you finish them.
Keep follow-up notes next to your billing and client work so nothing is forgotten.
Notes live in the same sidebar as the rest of Rapid Hub, so they are quick to reach.
Audio and video calls inside Hub Chat
Calls run inside Hub Chat. What is available depends on your plan.
Start an audio call from a direct message. Calls support up to 4 participants.
Premium HD audio and video calling, with 500 video minutes included each month.
Persistent meeting rooms inside channels that your team can drop into any time.
An external meeting space for calls with clients outside your workspace.

How file storage works

Includes 512 MB of file storage for your workspace. Upgrade for more room.
Includes 2 GB of file storage for your workspace.
Includes 10 GB of file storage for your workspace.
You will see a storage-limit message. Delete files you no longer need, or upgrade your plan to add more room.
Connect email, payments, and your Google account
Manage connections in Settings → Integrations. Email and payment integrations are available on the Pro and Business plans.
Choose your default sender and connect Gmail or Zoho Mail so invoices and reminders go out from your own address.
Connect Stripe or Razorpay, and keep payment links available so customers can pay online.
Sign in with Google for faster, more secure access to your account.
You stay in control. Disconnect an integration from Settings whenever you want to stop using it.
Where to change how the app looks and works
Open Settings for everything behind your invoices and account.
Update your company name, address, logo, and contact details so invoices show the right identity.
On paid plans, control how much platform branding appears on your invoices.
Connect email and payment providers, and your Google account. See the Integrations section above.
Change your password and manage Google sign-in to keep your account secure.
Invite teammates and choose what each person can see or edit. See Team & roles below.
Owners can review the plan, subscription, and usage from Billing.
Invite teammates and control what they can do
Owners and admins manage the team from Settings → Team & permissions. Team size depends on your plan: Free is solo (1), Pro allows 5, and Business allows 10, including the owner.
Go to Team & permissions and send an invite by email. The invite stays pending until they accept, and you can revoke it any time. Inviting teammates requires a paid plan.
Pick the role that fits how much control the person needs:
- Owner — full control of the workspace, including billing and the plan.
- Admin — full edit access to every app and can manage other members.
- Member — access is set per app, so you decide exactly what they reach.
For members, set an access level on each app — Invoices, CRM, Reports, Payments, Rapid Books, and Settings:
- No access — the app is hidden for that person.
- View only — they can read but not change anything.
- Can edit — full read and write access for that app.
Owners and admins always have full edit access, so per-app settings only apply to members.
Simple tips for a smoother workflow
If you are not ready to send an invoice yet, save it as a draft and come back later.
If most invoices look similar, duplicate an existing one and edit only the parts that changed.
Look at tax, discount, shipping, and payment terms one more time before you share the invoice.
When you are stuck, open Help & Support and send a message.
