Create and send invoices

Last updated: July 2026

Build a professional, FTA-compliant invoice in about a minute, send it the way your client actually reads messages, and keep track of what's paid.

1. Create the invoice

From Invoices, click New invoice and fill in:

  • The client (add a new one on the fly if needed)
  • Line items — description, quantity and unit price
  • VAT at 5% where it applies (Fatoora calculates the totals for you)
  • Issue date and, if relevant, the supply/delivery date

The invoice number is assigned automatically and cannot be edited.

2. Share the PDF

Save the invoice to generate a clean PDF with your logo and details. You get a shareable link so your client can open the invoice without needing an account.

3. Send it

  • Send via WhatsApp — opens WhatsApp with a ready message and the invoice link
  • Share the PDF link by email or any messaging app

4. Record the payment

When your client pays, open the invoice and add a payment (full or partial). Fatoora marks the invoice as paid and keeps your income and dashboard up to date. You can edit or delete a payment later if you made a mistake.

Frequently asked questions

Are invoice numbers automatic?+

Yes. Fatoora assigns a sequential, non-editable invoice number, which is required for FTA compliance. You cannot skip or reuse numbers.

Can I send an invoice on WhatsApp?+

Yes. Each invoice has a Send via WhatsApp button that opens WhatsApp with a message and a link to the invoice PDF.

How do I handle a refund or correction?+

Issue a credit note against the original invoice. Fatoora records it correctly and deducts it from your VAT figures.
