Create Invoice Templates

Invoice templates enable you to prefill some of the recurring fields and determine the viewable fields on invoices, giving you the ability to control and customize your own invoice PDFs. You can also select a Locale so that the PDF is generated in the language you selected.
You can toggle various sections on or off (for optional sections) and move them up and down using the options near the top of the header. Example: You could toggle off the
Remit To
section if you didn’t want this section to display on your invoices, or you could move it to the bottom of the invoice. All changes made are reflected on the preview invoice on the right side of the page.
