Custom fields let freelancers capture project-specific details like hourly rates, hours worked, expense reimbursements, tax identifiers, and client PO numbers to maintain consistent, machine-readable invoice data across clients and integrations.
Signature and date fields ensure the client formally accepts the invoice and terms; placement options include inline acceptance boxes, dedicated signature blocks, and delegated signer roles for agencies.
Embedded payment or payment processor integration streamlines collection; include clear currency, due date, and late-fee terms to reduce ambiguity and accelerate settlement.
