Short films of the real app, one job at a time, narrated by the builder who made EstiMate. They're filmed on a demo account for a made-up firm, so every figure is an example. New ones go up every week.

Stage payments on one invoice

Take a deposit, stage payments and the final balance against the same invoice, send the client a receipt, and keep Xero, QuickBooks or Sage in step.

  1. 1Open the job and go to Invoices & money: what the job's worth, invoiced, paid and still owed.
  2. 2Tap Invoice the balance. EstiMate fills in what's left; check it, say what it's for and save.
  3. 3Record a part payment against that same invoice, with no new invoice for each stage.
  4. 4Record the rest when it comes in and the invoice is marked Paid.
  5. 5Send the client a receipt by WhatsApp or email in one tap.
  6. 6With Xero, QuickBooks or Sage connected, each payment goes across to the same invoice.
