Frequently asked questions
How should I number invoices?
Use a simple sequence such as INV-001, INV-002, and never reuse a number. Some businesses add the year (2026-001).
Do I need to charge sales tax?
It depends on what you sell and where. Check your state's rules or ask an accountant. Use the sales tax calculator to check amounts.
