Configurable tax zones and rate tiers let templates compute taxes automatically by jurisdiction, reducing manual errors and ensuring totals reflect applicable sales or use taxes.
Fields for percentage or fixed discounts and additional fees make it simple to apply promotions, early-pay discounts, or surcharges while maintaining clear audit trails for each adjustment.
Integrated payment fields for card, ACH, or third-party processors enable customers to pay directly from the invoice and streamline settlement and reconciliation into accounting systems.
