How invoices reach your clients: IMP, QuickBooks, Stripe, or PDF

IMP sends invoices four ways: IMP Built-In emails your client a link to their portal, QuickBooks and Stripe send from those systems, and Manual gives you a PDF to send yourself. Card payments in the portal need Stripe connected.

What the video says

IMP can send your invoices four ways. Pick the one that matches how you bill today.

  1. Pick the invoicing system you already prefer: IMP's own in-house invoicing, QuickBooks, Stripe, or a PDF and link you send yourself. The one you pick decides what happens when you send an invoice, and you can change it any time.
  2. IMP Built-In is the in-house option. IMP emails the invoice to your client's billing contact, with a link. They open it in their portal. To let them pay by card there, connect Stripe too. Without Stripe, they pay you the usual way and you record the payment.
  3. QuickBooks Online. IMP puts the invoice in your QuickBooks. QuickBooks sends it and tracks the payment, and IMP syncs that back. If you already bill from QuickBooks, choose this.
  4. Stripe Invoicing. IMP creates the invoice in your own Stripe account. Stripe emails it and takes the card payment, and IMP marks it paid on its own.
  5. Manual. IMP marks the invoice sent and gives you a PDF and a link. You send them however you already do: email, mail, or your own system. You record payments by hand.
  6. QuickBooks and Stripe each connect in one step: choose it, sign in with your own credentials, done. Each has its own video.
  7. Not sure? If you bill from QuickBooks now, pick QuickBooks. For card payments without accounting software, pick Stripe, or IMP Built-In with Stripe connected. If you have your own process, pick Manual.
  8. On IMP Built-In, also set your email reply-to address, so replies from clients reach a real inbox.
