Quotes vs invoices: what’s the difference?
Before doing a job, you send your customer a quote to share crucial information, including the goods or services you’re providing, and your fee and payment terms. Once they’ve accepted the quote, you can do the work with confidence that everyone knows what’s expected.

Once you’ve completed the job, you formally ask for payment by sending an invoice. This legal document helps both you and your customer track the sale and the amount paid. Xero then stores this data for your financial reporting and IRS compliance.
