Puzzle's invoice editor lets you build a professional, branded invoice and see exactly how it will look as you go!
​



​Create an invoice

  1. Go to Revenue > Invoices.
    ​

  2. Click the + button in the top right and select Create invoice.
    ​


    ​

  3. The editor opens in a split view: the form on the left, a live preview on the right that updates as you type — so you always know what your customer will see.
    ​



​Fill in the details

  • Customer — who you're billing. Their email is automatically used when you send the invoice.

  • Invoice ID — optional. Leave it blank and Puzzle will assign one for you.

  • Invoice date and Due date — set your billing and payment timeline.

  • Line items — add each Product/Service with a description, quantity, and price.

  • Memo — notes visible to your customer. This is also the best place to include payment instructions — paste a payment link here so customers know exactly how to pay you.
    ​



​Save, post, or send

Once your invoice is ready, you have a few options:

  • Save as draft — come back and finish it later.

  • Post — finalize the invoice. Once posted, it's recorded in your books.

  • Post and send — finalize and email it to your customer in one step.
    ​



​Duplicate an invoice

Open any posted invoice and click Duplicate to create a new draft with the same details.
​

Note: Shipping, discounts, and revenue recognition settings are not carried over when duplicating. Review these before posting.
​



​Delete a draft

Open the draft and select the option to delete it. You'll be asked to confirm — this can't be undone.
​

Note: Posted invoices cannot be deleted, only voided. This keeps an accurate record in your books.
