There is no third-party portal, no account for them to create, and no WooCommerce store to set up first. [PaySlate](https://payslate.app) is a WordPress [invoice plugin](https://payslate.app/best-wordpress-invoice-plugins) that handles the whole billing cycle for [client invoicing](https://payslate.app/how-to-create-an-invoice-in-wordpress) and payment requests. Bill for an agreed amount, itemise the work, or ask for a [deposit](https://payslate.app/features) before you start. Whichever you send, the client opens a link on your site and pays on it. That last part is the difference. Most WordPress invoicing plugins produce a document. PaySlate produces a bill your client can settle, then records what came in against what was owed. #### Send an invoice and get paid * Bill clients with [line items, tax, discounts, due dates and notes](https://payslate.app/features). * Get paid by card through [Stripe](https://payslate.app/integrations/stripe) or [Square](https://payslate.app/integrations/square), on your own site. * [Apple Pay and Google Pay](https://payslate.app/integrations/stripe) appear automatically on supported devices through Stripe Checkout. * Your client [opens a link and pays](https://payslate.app/how-it-works). They never create an account. #### What your clients can pay with Card, wallet and pay-later methods reach your invoice through the gateway you connect, so you get a wide set without wiring up anything yourself. The [payments overview](https://payslate.app/payments) explains which gateway carries which. * **Card networks:** Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay, Maestro. * **Digital wallets:** Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, Alipay, WeChat Pay. * **Pay later:** Klarna, Afterpay. Cards work the moment you connect a gateway. Wallets and pay-later options follow whatever your own gateway account, country and currency support, so treat the list as what is reachable rather than a promise that every method is on for every store. #### Take a deposit, or let them pay part of it Service work runs on money up front. Ask for a [deposit](https://payslate.app/features) before you start, let a client pay the full balance, or accept a [custom amount](https://payslate.app/features). PaySlate tracks the remaining balance for you, so a part-paid invoice never turns into guesswork. #### Know what you are owed, without a spreadsheet Every invoice carries a [status](https://payslate.app/features) you can read at a glance. It moves through draft, sent and viewed, then lands on partial, paid or overdue, and cancelled and refunded are there for the cases that do not end tidily. [Receipts](https://payslate.app/features) send themselves when a payment clears. [Overdue reminders](https://payslate.app/features) go out on their own, so chasing an unpaid bill stops being something you have to remember. #### Billing software, not a PDF generator Most [WordPress invoicing tools](https://payslate.app/best-wordpress-invoice-plugins) build a document and stop there. You still print your bank details on it and wait, then reconcile by hand when something lands. That is document generation wearing a billing label. PaySlate keeps the ledger. Every client, invoice, line item, payment and refund is a record, so the plugin knows what was billed, what has been paid, what is still outstanding and when each of it happened. The client pays on the bill itself, and the payment posts against the invoice without you touching anything. You can still print or save a PDF from the invoice page when an accountant asks for one. It just is not the product. #### No WooCommerce required PaySlate bills a named client for an agreed amount and runs on its own. If you have been looking for [invoicing without WooCommerce](https://payslate.app/self-hosted-invoicing), this is it. If you do run WooCommerce, PaySlate [coexists with it](https://payslate.app/integrations/woocommerce) and can reuse a Stripe configuration you already have. #### Who it is for [Freelancers](https://payslate.app/for/freelancers), [consultants](https://payslate.app/for/consultants) and [agencies](https://payslate.app/for/agencies) who bill clients directly and would rather send them to their own website than to someone else’s invoicing portal. If client invoicing is how you get paid, this is built for you. #### PaySlate Pro The free plugin above is complete and stays free. [Pro](https://payslate.app/pricing) is available separately for people who need more: * **Four more payment gateways:** [PayPal](https://payslate.app/integrations/paypal), Checkout.com, [Paddle](https://payslate.app/integrations/paddle) and [Lemon Squeezy](https://payslate.app/integrations/lemon-squeezy). All six are compared on the [payments overview](https://payslate.app/payments). * **[Merchant of record](https://payslate.app/merchant-of-record-wordpress) support.** [Paddle](https://payslate.app/integrations/paddle) and [Lemon Squeezy](https://payslate.app/integrations/lemon-squeezy) become the seller on the transaction, which means they handle the [EU VAT and US sales tax](https://payslate.app/merchant-of-record-wordpress) registration, filing and remittance instead of you. That is the answer if you sell across borders and do not want to track tax thresholds in every market you happen to sell into. * **[Recurring invoices](https://payslate.app/pricing)** with billing schedules and automatic retries on a failed charge. * **[Automatic late fees](https://payslate.app/pricing)** applied by your own policy. * **[Accounting export](https://payslate.app/features)** to QuickBooks and Xero.

[Merchant of record](https://payslate.app/merchant-of-record-wordpress) providers change who is responsible for tax on a sale. PaySlate does not give tax advice, and your own registration obligations remain yours to understand. ## སྒྲིག་འཇུག 1.

An invoice generator makes a document and leaves collection, chasing and reconciliation to you. PaySlate issues the bill, takes the card payment on it, records the payment against the invoice, tracks the outstanding balance, and chases the invoice when it goes overdue. The printable invoice is one output of that, not the point of it. ### Do I need WooCommerce? No. PaySlate is [standalone invoicing](https://payslate.app/self-hosted-invoicing) and does not need a store. If you already run WooCommerce the two [coexist](https://payslate.app/integrations/woocommerce), and PaySlate can reuse a Stripe configuration you have set up there. ### What do I need to get started? A [Stripe](https://payslate.app/integrations/stripe) or [Square](https://payslate.app/integrations/square) account, existing or new. Enter that provider’s details in PaySlate > Settings and you can [send invoices and take payment](https://payslate.app/how-it-works). ### Does my client need an account? No. They [open the invoice link and pay](https://payslate.app/how-it-works). Nothing to sign up for and no portal to log into. ### Can I ask for a deposit? Yes, in the free plugin. Request a [deposit](https://payslate.app/features) up front, or let the client pay the full balance or a custom amount. The remaining balance is tracked for you. Here is a [guide to creating an invoice in WordPress](https://payslate.app/how-to-create-an-invoice-in-wordpress). ### Can I send a payment request instead of a full invoice? Yes. A payment request is just an invoice for an agreed amount, so send one the same way: enter the amount, send the link, and the client pays by card. Useful for a deposit, a milestone or a one-off charge where a full itemised invoice would be overkill. ### Can clients pay part of an invoice? Yes. [Partial payments](https://payslate.app/features) are supported and the outstanding balance updates automatically. ### Does PaySlate chase overdue invoices for me? Yes. [Overdue reminders](https://payslate.app/features) send automatically, and receipts go out on their own when a payment clears. ### Does PaySlate charge a fee on my payments? No. You pay your payment provider’s normal processing rate and PaySlate adds nothing on top. You connect your own [Stripe](https://payslate.app/integrations/stripe) or [Square](https://payslate.app/integrations/square) account, so the relationship and the rate are yours. See [pricing](https://payslate.app/pricing). ### Can clients pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay? Yes, through [Stripe Checkout](https://payslate.app/integrations/stripe), where they appear automatically on supported devices. ### Which payment methods can my clients use? Cards from Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay and Maestro. Wallets including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, Alipay and WeChat Pay. Pay-later through Klarna and Afterpay. Which of those actually appear depends on the gateway you connect and on your country and currency, and the [payments overview](https://payslate.app/payments) sets out which gateway carries which. ### Do I need WooCommerce to take card payments? No, and this is the main thing that separates PaySlate from invoicing plugins that only print your bank details on a PDF. PaySlate takes the card itself through [Stripe](https://payslate.app/integrations/stripe) or [Square](https://payslate.app/integrations/square) on a hosted checkout, and marks the invoice paid by webhook. Your client clicks and pays rather than reading an account number and going to their banking app. ### Does it handle recurring invoices? [Recurring billing](https://payslate.app/pricing) is a Pro feature, with billing schedules and automatic retries when a charge fails. ### Can PaySlate handle VAT or sales tax for me? Through Pro. [Paddle](https://payslate.app/integrations/paddle) and [Lemon Squeezy](https://payslate.app/integrations/lemon-squeezy) act as [merchant of record](https://payslate.app/merchant-of-record-wordpress), becoming the seller on the transaction and taking on the tax registration, filing and remittance. The free plugin lets you put your own tax line on an invoice, which is the right choice if you already handle your own filing. ### Which gateways are supported? [Stripe](https://payslate.app/integrations/stripe) and [Square](https://payslate.app/integrations/square) in the free plugin. Pro adds [PayPal](https://payslate.app/integrations/paypal), Checkout.com, [Paddle](https://payslate.app/integrations/paddle) and [Lemon Squeezy](https://payslate.app/integrations/lemon-squeezy). All six are compared on the [payments page](https://payslate.app/payments). One gateway is active at a time, and every invoice you have already sent keeps the gateway it was created with, so switching never breaks an invoice a client is about to pay. ### Does it work with QuickBooks or Xero? Pro [exports to both](https://payslate.app/features). ### How does PaySlate compare to other invoicing tools? We keep an honest comparison for each, with the other side’s strengths stated plainly: [PaySlate vs Sliced Invoices](https://payslate.app/payslate-vs-sliced-invoices), [vs Sprout Invoices](https://payslate.app/payslate-vs-sprout-invoices), [vs WP-Invoice](https://payslate.app/payslate-vs-wp-invoice), [vs Easy Invoice](https://payslate.app/payslate-vs-easy-invoice), [vs Flexible Invoices](https://payslate.app/payslate-vs-flexible-invoices), [vs Invoice Ninja](https://payslate.app/payslate-vs-invoice-ninja), [vs WP Simple Pay](https://payslate.app/payslate-vs-wp-simple-pay), [vs FreshBooks](https://payslate.app/payslate-vs-freshbooks), and alternatives to [QuickBooks](https://payslate.app/quickbooks-alternative-for-wordpress) and [Wave](https://payslate.app/wave-alternative-for-wordpress). ### Where do I get help?
