Send an invoice through Wave in your web browser

1. Log in to your Wave account at waveapps.com.
2. Click Sales & Payments > Invoices on the left navigation menu.
3. Click the Send button to the right of the invoice you want to send.
4. In the pop-up that appears, you can do the following:
   1. To send the invoice from an alternate verified email address saved under your business profile, click on your email address in the From field and choose from the list. To add another email address to your business profile, follow these steps.
   2. You can edit the subject line, or the message that will appear on the body of the email your customer receives.

      You cannot save a customized message to appear by default when sending invoices. If you want to customize the message, edit it before you send the invoice.

   3. Click Add recipient to send the invoice to multiple contacts. If you already have multiple emails associated with your customer’s profile, select one of the emails from the drop-down menu. If not, enter a new email address into the additional field.

      Check out How to add a customer to learn how to add a secondary email address to your customer’s profile.

   4. Select the checkboxes at the bottom to send a copy of the invoice to yourself, or attach the invoice as a PDF.
   5. Click Preview as customer to view how the email would appear to your customer in a new tab.
   6. To send the invoice, click Send.

This sends your invoice through Wave, but any replies to the email will be sent to the email address the invoice was sent from. Sending invoices through Wave helps you track the sent history within the Activity tab of the customer’s profile.

If you are a Wave Payments or Wave Payroll user, you can send an unlimited number of invoices through Wave.

The Wave logo at the bottom of the invoice email cannot be removed. However, you can choose to export the invoice as PDF, and send it from your email if you don’t want it to appear.

Once an invoice has been sent, it cannot be undone.
