Web Designer’s Dream: WordPress Invoice

Posted by John Saddington on Dec 29, 2008

A lot of great plugins and themes come through my email box daily.  Only a few every make it to the examination table and even fewer actually are worth an install and a comprehensive dissection.

Why?  Because I simply don’t have the time.  And that’s a good thing.

But WP-Invoice is one such plugin that was kickbutt enough to get a plug here.

Essentially, it let’s WordPress blog owners send itemized invoices to their clients.  It actually plays nicely and ties into your user database in case you’re managing your clients from a WP-turned-CMS install or just your blog.

Create the invoice and it sends them an email with a paypal link via a specially created page just for them. The interface of the application is nice to boot.

For those that may use this, I’d love to hear some reactions about it.  The days of consulting for me were over… but I may be entering back into that “world” again.

Who knows…?

    Pretty cool. I think we will still stick with QuickBooks. I know it plays nice with the accountant.. and that is a very important thing for me.

        I am with you. I love WP and am happy to see anyone try to make it even more useful. The community around WP is incredible and I welcome anything that can make our lives more efficient – including invoicing (man, that is some serious time consuming activity).

    Very cool…
    While I can't see myself needing this in the near-future I must say. The WP community rocks! The fact that plugins such as this one are freely available is amazing. Pretty much anything you want to add to your blog (or site if you're using as CMS) has most likely already been built by another community member and is but a Google search away!

    For me nothing beats FreshBooks, my weapon of choice for managing invoices.

    You might want to check out http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/web-invoice/. It's faster and supports Moneybookers and AlertPay addition to all the payment processors supported by WP-Invoice.
