Invoice IDs
Invoice numbers are auto-generated using your prefix and format from Organization Settings → Finance → Invoices (e.g. INV-00001, INV-ABC123, or a custom value).
Online Payments
If you've configured a payment gateway (Paystack, Stripe, or PayPal) in Organization Settings, the gateway is automatically listed as a payment option on the invoice. Clients viewing the invoice in the Client Portal can pay online directly.
