Each item may also have a different tax rate.
After creating the invoice, you may print, download pdf and send it via email to your customer. You may also add full or partial payments manually to your invoices.
If the invoice is assigned to a customer which has the right to log in, then they can make the payment of your invoices online through the payment gateways you’ve assigned to the invoice.
Thanks to the reminders set up from the Settings > General > Scheduling page, Akaunting allows you to remind you and your customers by email when payment is due, automatically. You can set up the reminding days as you wish.
For any other non-invoicable and paid income, you can use the Revenues feature. You can also record the money deposits from the revenues page. Akaunting offers you the possibility to categorize every revenue. Categories build all your reports and provide insights into your business.
