E-invoicing, or electronic invoicing, is the process of creating, sending, and receiving invoices in a digital format. Unlike traditional paper or PDF invoices, e-invoices are structured for seamless integration between systems, allowing businesses to automate billing and payment processes.
Traditional invoicing typically relies on a slow, manual process, which includes filling in billing details, printing paper copies, and physically sending them to customers. With e-invoicing, businesses can reduce admin tasks, improve accuracy, and track payments more efficiently. Customers receive invoices electronically, making it easier for them to pay on time. Our e-invoicing software integrates with partner tools within the Sage Network and trusted payment providers, simplifying the entire process.

If you have been using Excel templates or spreadsheets to create and keep track of your invoices, you can easily import your data to Sage. With a variety of customisable, professional yet simple templates, you'll never have to rely on Excel again.
