Getting Paid & Bank Details
TradeInvoice Pro never sits between you and your money. Clients pay you directly by bank transfer using the details printed on every invoice — the app takes no cut and processes no payments. Here's how the payment side works.
How do clients pay me?
By bank transfer, straight into your account. You enter your bank details once in Settings → Payment instructions, and they print automatically on every invoice with the right fields for your country — sort code and account number in the UK, BSB in Australia, routing number in the US, IBAN/BIC in Ireland, institution and transit in Canada, and the NZ account format.
Each invoice also sets the payment reference to the invoice number automatically, so when money lands you can match it to the job at a glance.
You can add an optional PayPal.me link and free-text payment instructions too.
Does TradeInvoice Pro take a cut of my invoices?
No. Payments go directly from your client's bank to yours — the app never touches, holds or processes the money, and there's no percentage fee on anything you bill.
This is deliberate. In-app card processing typically costs 1.5–3% per payment; on trade-sized invoices that's real money for very little convenience.
Can I take card payments in the app?
No — the app doesn't process card payments, and that's by design. Payment is by bank transfer (or your PayPal link) using the details printed on the invoice. You keep 100% of what you bill.
A client paid part of the bill — how do I record it?
Open the invoice and log a partial payment against it. The invoice then shows paid versus outstanding totals live, and the dashboard keeps the running numbers honest.
You can log as many partial payments as needed until the balance is settled.
Do clients get a receipt when they've paid?
Yes — when you mark an invoice as paid, the app prepares a branded receipt email to the client automatically. It closes the job professionally, and clients remember it.
