Invoices: More flexibility with payments and invoicing
in progress

The Problem:
The way that the invoicing system currently works is too rigid for some photographers. Photographers would like to be able to customise their client's payment structure to allow:
- Payment plans / payment instalments
- More than one invoice per shoot
- Allow tipping after a shoot

Hi Lindsey Millar thanks for reaching out. At the moment, we are in the middle of a pretty substantial rebuild of our business architecture - a necessary first step to enable us to make big changes to our invoicing system.
Once that is complete, our first priority is to tackle some minor invoice changes (like being able to add quantities and custom line items to invoices). Once that is complete, the current plan is to explore the option to add multiple invoices per shoot, and finally the ability to break those invoices down in to multiple payment instalments.
It's a bit of a long road ahead, but it's our key priority at this stage. We'll keep you in the loop when we have any updates.

Only being able to select the retainer fee then another payment... I need at least 3 with how much my wedding packages are.

What about adding a surcharge to credit card payments?

This is SO important. Retainer + 1 is not nearly enough choice.

Yes! Agreed. I give the two options (retainer + remaining balance) but sometimes I have a client who ends up paying half of their balance.... But on their side it only looks like they paid the retainer since there's not really a good way to adjust the checkbox totals. I add notes, but it looks funky on the clients end and to them it looks like they only paid the retainer, and not half of their total balance.

Payment Plan Invoicing

I was using Shootproof before converting and I LOVED that I could offer payment plans with payments either weekly or monthly for Wedding customers. Not everyone can make the lump-sum payment so it was convenient for everyone. If I had known I'd loose that ability I wouldn't have made the switch...

I would like to suggest adding the option to enter custom payment amounts.

Josh Harriman worse invoicing system, honestly

I agree that different forms of accepting payments is crucial. Payment via Venmo is a common ask from my clients.
