AllScale Pay’s **Invoicing** feature allows you to issue professional payment requests directly from your dashboard — no third-party tools, no bank account required. Whether you’re billing a client for freelance work, requesting payment for a service, or managing vendor payouts, the invoicing system handles everything from creation to confirmation. You simply enter basic invoice details, and the recipient receives an email with secure, built-in payment options. Payments settle directly into your **AllScale Balance** in stablecoins. *** ## 🌍 Why It Matters Traditional invoicing tools weren’t built for stablecoin workflows. AllScale’s invoicing system is: * **Crypto-native** — designed for stablecoin payments from day one * **Client-friendly** — supports external recipients, no registration required * **Faster to settle** — avoid banking delays * **Fully integrated** — tied to your Contacts, Social Commerce, and Balance No more manual follow-ups, clunky templates, or missing payments. Just fast, global, and reliable invoicing built for modern work. *** ## 🔐 How It Works * **Create an Invoice:**\ Specify the recipient's email, amount, currency, due date, and description of services. * **Send via AllScale System:**\ AllScale sends the invoice by email or in-app notification (if linked to an AllScale Pay account). * **Recipient Pays:**\ The recipient chooses from available payment methods—no AllScale Pay account required. * **You Receive Stablecoins:**\ Regardless of how the invoice is paid, funds arrive in your AllScale Pay balance in stablecoin form. * **Track History:**\ View detailed invoice status, timestamps, and transaction logs under your **Invoice History** tab. *** ## 🖐 Key Features * Issue invoices in USDT, USDC, or other supported stablecoins * Accept payments from AllScale Pay users or external payers * Built-in email delivery with downloadable PDF * Flexible payment options (wallets, cards, wire) * Full payment history and status tracking --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
