Client self-fill

Let your client add their own billing details to an invoice. They don't need a Biller account.

What is self-fill

Every invoice has a private purchaser link. It opens a short form where your client enters their name, company, address, and email. Those details then appear in the Bill to section of the invoice.

This is handy when a client needs an invoice made out to their company, or when you don't have their details. Invoices you create by hand have no field for client details, so self-fill is how they get added.

What your client does

Your client opens the link and sees Complete your invoice details, with these fields:

  • Your name (required)
  • Company name (optional)
  • Address (optional)
  • Email (optional)

They click Submit details and are taken to the finished invoice.

Details can only be submitted once
After your client submits, they can't change their details, and the purchaser link just opens the invoice. The link also stops showing the form once an invoice already has a purchaser name. The invoice edit form doesn't include purchaser fields either, so ask your client to double-check before they submit.

After they submit

  • On the invoice page, Purchaser info changes from Pending to Completed.
  • Their details appear on the invoice link and in the PDF.
  • If they entered an email and the invoice didn't have one, a Send to button appears so you can email the invoice.

The details are saved on that one invoice only. They aren't copied to your client list or to future invoices, and Biller doesn't notify you when a client submits, so check the invoice page.
