Every business needs a payment processing solution that can not only take care of accepting and processing payments but also ensure that you get paid the right amount and on time. That’s where GoSite’s instant invoices -- the newest feature of payments -- comes in.  But before we dive into instant invoices and why they are beneficial, let’s divulge exactly what an invoice is. ## What is an Invoice? An invoice is the predecessor of a receipt. Meaning, an invoice comes first and is a request for payment, whereas a receipt is the proof of payment that is provided after the transaction is completed. To break it down further, an invoice is a document -- either physically or electronically -- sent by the business to the customer that outlines the items and/or services provided and the current amount owed. The invoice is binding and establishes an obligation on the part of the customer to pay the business and relieve their debt. Invoices are an important part of your business's bookkeeping and accounting record-keeping process because they provide a clear record of all of your sales transactions and minimize the chance of ambiguity or confusion when it comes time to get paid. Invoices include a variety of information about you and your customer such as: - Your name (or your business’s name) and address; - The customer’s name and address (or email address); - Date of the transaction; - Description of items and services purchased; - Price of items and services; - Terms of payment; and - Payment due date. Depending on the kind of business and what’s being sold, an invoice may include different information. However, every invoice will have standard item descriptions and inventory numbers. Regardless of what vertical your business falls into, you should always try to be as specific as possible -- the more specific and detailed as possible, the better. Be clear and thorough to minimize room for confusion. It’s important to note that an invoice does not mean you’ve been paid or even guarantee payment, but it does serve as proof of the debt, help you keep track of what you are owed, and set clear expectations that both you and your customer agreed on. ![invoices](https://www.gosite.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20images/2020%20Campaigns/July%20Campaign/%20Instant%20Invoices%20/Instant%20Invoices-3.jpg?width=728&name=Instant%20Invoices-3.jpg) ## What’s New With GoSite’s Instant Invoices?
