What is Squarespace Invoicing?
Squarespace Invoicing is a new feature added to the Squarespace platform. It's aimed at helping business owners create and manage invoices efficiently. The best part? It's included for free with your Squarespace subscription. There are payment processing fees associated with your clients paying their invoice, but that's just a standard business expense.

One of the most important features of Squarespace Invoicing is its integration with your website. It can display your logo and match your branding, upping the professional look of your invoices. While you're limited to existing font packs and default colors, it's a start for maintaining consistency across your business platforms.

How does Squarespace Invoicing work?
Getting started with Squarespace Invoicing ispretty straightforward. After you set up a payment solution like Squarespace Payments on your website, you're ready to create your first invoice. You can manually add line items to the invoice, specify when it's due, and even add a discount.

One of the useful features of Squarespace Invoicing is the ability to associate invoices with project milestones. This project management tracking is built into the invoices feature, helping you keep an eye on your projects and making sure everything stays on track.

Why should you try Squarespace Invoicing?
Squarespace Invoicing could be incredibly cost-effective for service-based businesses. You won't need to sign up for another software program or figure out how to integrate it with your domain and email. Plus, Squarespace Invoicing streamlines the process of creating, sending, and managing invoices, and it's all in one place.

However, it's important to keep in mind that while Squarespace is adding cool new features all the time, their main focus is on being a website building platform. While they're making efforts to help users keep things in one place, they might not be dedicated to becoming the best web-based invoice software on the market.

In Summary

Whether you're tired of the constant hustle to stay organized and get paid on time, or you're just looking for a new way to streamline your invoicing process, Squarespace Invoicing might be worth a try. It's free for Squarespace users, integrates with your website, and could make your business operations a little smoother.

Just remember, it might not be perfect, but it's a start. And sometimes, a start is all you need.

I will give this a try. hopefully multiple tests will prove to be effective. recently started a business and with cash flow being tight, every bit helps. Thank you for all the help you've given me so far and, in the future.

I tried using the Invoicing feature. I would recommend testing thoroughly. I currently have not received my test invoice. SS said that my email provider bounced the email. I sent a test Invoice to a friend, she never received the invoice either. SS claimed her email provider bounced the email too. They had me add a long allowlist and resend. No invoice. Has anyone else had this issue? SS is definitely not trying to be the best invoicing software as noted in the video :(
