# Invoicing Features

## 📝 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](https://docs.allscale.io/allscale-pay/core-modules/wallet/wallet-features).
{% 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.

## 📤 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 sender’s preview) along with clear payment instructions tailored to the available methods at that time.
