WordPress & How to invoice in WordPress

About WordPress

WordPress is an open-source software to run blogs, company sites, stores, and all kinds of online platforms.

If you’re starting a business or would like to start a blog, choose WordPress.

WordPress is the most popular CMS platform (41% of websites use this software).

So, it is easy for you to build your website with a lot of online courses and video tutorials. Thanks to the growing number of extensions (plugins), graphical designs (themes) you will be able to customize the site to your needs and the project’s requirements. Of course, there are a lot of web creators, designers, and programmers too.

What about invoicing in WordPress

The basic WordPress you get, by default, has no invoicing option.

You will need a plugin to do that. There are a lot of them, mainly to use with WooCommerce (a plugin to run your online store).

If you use a vanilla WordPress (for your blog and business portfolio), you can use Flexible PDF Invoices. The great benefit of the plugin is that it will grow with you. As it works well with a basic WordPress, as well as for manual invoicing for WooCommerce.

You can also automate invoicing for WooCommerce orders in the PRO version.
