What is StitchInvoice?
StitchInvoice offers a robust invoicing and client-document platform specifically designed for freelancers and independent professionals who invoice clients directly, rather than serving bookkeeping purposes. This tool streamlines the complete client engagement workflow, encompassing quotes, proposals, contracts, invoices, receipts, and credit notes, all while providing a live preview and generating polished PDFs.
When payments are processed via credit cards, they seamlessly run through your own Stripe account, ensuring that transactions are handled directly by your account with only the standard fees from Stripe applicable, so no intermediaries affect your income.
The Requirements Memory feature empowers you to set billing preferences for each client—including billing email, purchase order format, terms, and currency—so these choices are automatically implemented for future invoices. Furthermore, the Payability Check function helps to pinpoint potential issues that could hinder prompt invoice processing before you send them out. For users on the Pro Autopilot plan, automated reminders are activated both before and after the due date, stopping once payment is confirmed, while recurring invoices simplify the administration of retainer agreements.
It's critical to understand that StitchInvoice does not serve as accounting software; it deliberately lacks features like a chart of accounts, inventory management, or tax filing functionalities, positioning it as a specialized invoicing tool rather than a comprehensive financial management solution. Thus, it caters specifically to the needs of professionals seeking efficient invoicing without the complexities of broader accounting tasks.
