Can I create invoices for African clients and international clients?

Yes. The tool supports major African currencies plus USD, EUR, and GBP, and includes payment instructions for bank transfer, mobile money, Paystack, Flutterwave, PayPal, Wise, and mixed payment flows.

Does AfroTools store my freelance invoice data?

Drafts, saved clients, and invoice backups are stored in your browser unless you copy or export them. Share links encode the invoice into the URL.

Can I export the invoice?

Yes. You can export PDF, DOC, TXT, CSV, and JSON, and you can import JSON later to continue editing.

Can I track payment status?

Yes. You can mark an invoice as draft, sent, partially paid, paid, or overdue, record paid amounts, calculate balance due, and copy a payment follow-up message.

FAQ

Freelance invoice questions

Can I use this for retainers?

Yes. Add a retainer line, choose recurring terms in your notes, and copy the reminder message for the next billing cycle.

Can I make receipts?

Yes. Switch the document type to receipt, enter the amount paid, and export the paid document.

Can clients pay from the invoice?

You can add a Paystack, Flutterwave, PayPal, Wise, or other payment link. The tool also creates a QR code when a valid link is present.

Is this tax advice?

No. The tool calculates from the rates you enter. Confirm VAT, withholding, e-invoicing, and recordkeeping obligations with local rules or an accountant.
