How to Create an Invoice in HubSpot

In HubSpot, creating and managing invoices is made easy with built-in tools that allow you to create one-time or subscription-based invoices. Follow this step-by-step guide to create and manage invoices in HubSpot.

Access the Invoices Tool

  • In your HubSpot account, go to Commerce in the top menu and select Invoices.
  • On the Invoices page, click the Create invoice button in the upper right corner.

Select the Type of Invoice

When creating an invoice, you can choose between two types:

  • One-time invoice: For single transactions.
  • Subscription invoice: For recurring billing.

Select the appropriate invoice type for your needs.

Add Invoice Details

You’ll need to fill in the following details for your invoice:

  • Invoice Date: The date the invoice is issued.
  • Due Date: Specify when the payment is due.
  • Billing Contact: Select the contact who is being billed.
  • Line Items: Add the products or services that you are invoicing for.
  • Payment Terms: Define payment conditions (e.g., Net 30, due upon receipt).
  • Payment Method: Choose between HubSpot Payments or Stripe as the payment method.

  • You can either:
    • Send via email directly from HubSpot.
    • Download as PDF to manually distribute the invoice.

Managing Invoices

You can manage and track all your invoices from the Invoices page in HubSpot.

  • Navigate to Commerce > Invoices.
  • Click on a specific invoice to view or edit it.
  • Use the Actions dropdown to:
    • Edit invoice details.
    • Download the invoice as a PDF.
    • Clone or delete invoices.
    • Charge the customer’s payment method.
    • Void the invoice if needed.

Automating Invoice Creation (Optional)

HubSpot allows you to automate the creation of invoices, either for one-time payments or subscriptions:
