What Happens After Sending
Automatic Bill Generation for Buyers Using Quotable AI
When you send an invoice, the system automatically creates a corresponding Bill in the buyer's account. Buyer receives email notification with invoice and payment link. Bill appears in their Bills dashboard immediately.
Q: What if the Buyer doesn't have an active Quotable Account?
Answer: The Buyer doesn't need to have an active Quotable account to receive your invoice. The buyer can still receive, view and download invoices via no-login links.
Email Notification
Buyers receive professional email including invoice summary, payment link button ("Pay Now"), due date and payment terms, and your company branding.
Payment Options
Buyers can:
Pay instantly via embedded Quotable Payments link (credit cards, e-wallets)
Use offline payments (bank transfer, check) using their own system and uploading the proof of payment manually.
