How your business can benefit from online invoicing

If your business is still printing paper invoices or sending PDFs via email, it’s likely you are losing time and money to an outdated administrative process. Today, there is a far more efficient way to create, send, and have invoices paid thanks to online invoicing software. Rather than generating invoices from templates on a word processor and having to save them to your desktop then print or send them via email, online invoicing simplifies the whole process by centralising it into one platform, which can be accessed from anywhere you have an internet connection. Not only does an online invoicing platform improve how quickly you can generate and send invoices, it also improves the speed at which they are paid, thanks to an integrated payment processing system which gives your customers the ability to pay their invoices online using their credit card.

Professional-looking invoices created and sent in minutes

Zeller Invoices offers you professional-looking, pre-designed layouts that you simply have to fill in with your specific payment and business details. Zeller’s intuitive, user-friendly platform lets you add your business address, company name, ABN, contact information, client information, list of products or services and their descriptions, payment terms, and any additional notes. Zeller Invoices also allows you to customise your templates to align with your brand, with different styles, colour schemes, and the ability to add business logos. Additionally, Zeller is tailored to Australian invoicing requirements and so automatically features AUD and GST fields. What’s more, the totals are automatically calculated based on entered quantities and prices, saving you considerable time and reducing human error.

Invoicing software that gets you paid faster

Using Zeller’s online invoicing platform, invoices can be generated more efficiently and accurately. Thanks to automatic calculations, errors can be avoided therefore reducing unnecessary back-and-forth communication with the client, which inevitably leads to payment delays and potentially lost trust. What’s more, invoices can be sent directly to your clients via email or SMS from Zeller’s online platform. This eliminates the need to download PDFs and reupload them into an email, where attachments can easily be confused, lost, or forgotten. A contact directory will simplify the process of finding the correct contact details for your clients: each can be saved for future use, and selected from a list when ready to send. What’s more, with the option of sending an invoice via SMS, your clients can access and pay your invoice from their phone. Zeller’s in-built payment processing platform gives your customers the option to pay their invoice online with a credit card, rather than having to do a bank transfer. This simplifies the process for your customers, and greatly reduces the time it takes for them to finalise their payment. Thanks to the efficiency gained in generating and sending invoices with an online invoicing platform such as Zeller’s, it reduces the time between finishing the job and receiving payment, which helps to boost cash flow for your business.

Integrate your invoices into your financial ecosystem

When you choose Zeller Invoices, not only do you gain access to the newest and best online invoicing technology, you also benefit from Zeller’s wider ecosystem of financial services. By settling money into a Zeller Transaction Account (rather than a third party business bank account) you will enjoy nightly access to your funds (365 days a year), as soon as your invoices are paid with Zeller’s online invoicing platform. Then, you can put your funds to use with a Zeller's business debit cards or with Zeller Corporate Cards. From Zeller’s easy-to-use online dashboard, you will be able to track every cent: which invoices have been paid or not, your cash balance graphed over time, your spending, and more. Zeller Contact Directory lets you view the payment history of each client which can help with reconciliation, or simply with identifying regular or high-value clients. By keeping your invoicing, financial management, and business spending in one integrated platform, not only will you have better control and visibility over your cash position, but it will also greatly simplify reconciliation.

Pricing for Zeller’s online invoice software

With Zeller’s online invoicing platform, there’s no limit to the number of invoices you can send for free, no monthly fees, and no lock-in contracts. You only pay a transaction fee (1.7% + 25 cents for domestic cards) when a customer pays online through Zeller. Plus, there are no settlement fees; funds are available nightly in your Zeller Business Transaction Account or as soon as the next day in a third-party bank account. While free invoice generators suit one-off invoicing, businesses requiring consistent invoicing may benefit from more advanced options with a payment gateway integration such as Zeller’s.
