You’ve done the work, now it’s time to get paid. Mobile invoicing is a quick and easy way for business owners to get paid fast. Here’s a rundown of what mobile invoicing is, its benefits to your business, and how to send mobile invoices free within the Square POS app.
What is mobile invoicing?
Mobile invoicing is an easy way to bill your customers right from your mobile device so they can pay you quickly and securely. Now you can send and manage electronic invoices free through Square’s free POS app on your phone or tablet. Send an unlimited amount of invoices free and only pay for each invoice that’s paid securely online.
Why mobile invoices?
They’re really convenient. Over 80 percent of small business owners use mobile devices at least once a day to help run their business, according to research by Manta. Small business owners aren’t always in front of their computers, but they always have their phones at hand. Now you can send and manage invoices through our point-of-sale app, which makes it easier than ever to get paid fast for your hard work.
As soon as you finish a job, you can send a mobile invoice from your phone no matter where you are. There’s no need to wait until you’re at your computer or to send paper invoices in the mail.
Mobile Invoicing Benefits
- Free to use — Square’s mobile invoicing app is free. Download the app and send an unlimited number of invoices from your mobile device or desktop.
- Save time — Quickly create and send invoices anywhere, anytime, and quit spending hours catching up on your invoicing at the end of the week.

- Let customers pay later — Mobile invoicing can also be used to bill trusted customers who don’t have their credit card handy for in-person purchases.
