Before you begin:

In order to accept payments from clients in Wix Invoices, you must set up a payment method. If you've already set up a payment method (e.g. for Wix Stores, Wix Bookings or Wix Events) you do not need to set one up again.

To set up a payment method, go to Invoices in your site's dashboard, click More Actions at the top right and click Accept payments.

Creating an invoice

Create an invoice from your site's dashboard or directly from your phone with the Wix app. The invoice should include all the information your client needs to make a payment.

Set up your basic business info:

Your basic business info (e.g. business name, email and logo) appears on every invoice that you send. If you're creating an invoice for the first time, you'll be asked to start by entering this info. You can always customize this info again at a later stage.
