Email an Invoice

Emailing an invoice is a quick way to share billing details with a customer. It can be done directly from the invoice, during the sale, or afterward from the contact profile. If your account is connected to Stripe, a direct payment link can also be included for faster processing.

Before proceeding, ensure that you've added your email settings to use Boulevard's email feature or selected to use your desktop email client. If you have a connected Stripe account and want to include a Direct Payment Link with the email, see Email a Direct Payment Link for Stripe.

Options:

When Creating a New Invoice: Before saving the invoice, select the Email checkbox to launch an email.

After the Invoice Has Been Saved: If you have already saved the invoice, we do not recommend opening it in edit mode to send the invoice, as that recalculates the invoice and can cause issues if part numbers or other information have changed. Instead, you can email the invoice from the contact profile.
