# Invoicing Features
## ๐ Create a New Invoice
{% hint style="warning" %}
Before you create an invoice, you need to create an Allscale wallet as your address to receive transfers. For more information about wallets, please refer to [Wallet Features](/allscale-pay/core-modules/wallet/wallet-features.md).
{% endhint %}
The Invoice creation form is built for speed and flexibility. Whether you're billing a company, client, or individual, all you need is their email address.
**During invoice creation, you'll need to provide the following information:**
* Recipient details (email, address, name, etc.)
* Item description
* Amount
* Due date
* Notes
Before sending, you can preview the invoice in PDF format to verify all the details.
***
## ๐ค Sending & Delivery
Once submitted, your invoice is automatically delivered to the recipient by:
* **Email** (if recipient is not on AllScale Pay)
* **In-app notification** (if recipient has a connected AllScale Pay account)
No matter which way, the recipient will receive a downloadable PDF (identical to the senderโs preview) along with clear payment instructions tailored to the available methods at that time.
***
## ๐ณ Payment Methods
Recipients can pay invoices through various methods, with funds automatically converted into stablecoins and credited to your AllScale Pay balance.
**Supported payment options:**
* AllScale Pay Balance (if both parties are users)
* External Crypto Wallets
* Crypto Wallets Extension
* Bank Wire Transfers
* Credit/Debit Cards\
\&#xNAN;*(More payment rails coming soon)*
No matter how the invoice is paid, the **issuer always receives stablecoins** directly into their AllScale Pay account.
***
## ๐ Invoice Status Tracking
Stay up to date with real-time invoice tracking through the **Invoice History** dashboard.
If the user connects to AllScale Pay, they can track the invoice status in real-time within the website.
๐ค**For Both Senders and Recipients:**
**Status flow includes:**
* Paid
* Rejected
* In progress
* Failed
**Each record shows:**
* Amount
* Status
* Date issued & due
* Share link
To view the history of paid or received invoices, check the "History" section on the dashboard and wallet homepage.
***
## ๐ Security & Compliance
* Payment routing is secure and monitored
* Identity and AML checks apply to large invoices
* Recipient doesnโt need an AllScale account to pay
* You retain full control over cancellation or edits before payment
***
#### Coming Soon
* Recurring invoice templates
