You know the drill: the work is done, the client is happy \u2013 and then you\u2019re sitting at your laptop in the evening cobbling together an invoice in Word. Are the mandatory details correct? Is the tax number missing? And wasn\u2019t there something about the e-invoicing obligation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or a client asks after a photoshoot, a workshop, a project: \u201cCan I pay right away?\u201d \u2013 and you send your IBAN via WhatsApp and hope for the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting now, Jimdo has you covered: <\/strong>with an integrated online invoicing tool and payment links \u2013 no extra software, no extra Jimdo costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create an Invoice in Under Two Minutes \u2013 GoBD-Compliant and with Payment Link<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select client, enter line items, add tax rate, send. Your client receives the invoice by email, including an integrated payment link \u2013 one click, and they pay directly via credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, and other local payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your invoices look professional: with your logo, sequential invoice numbers, and all legally required information. They\u2019re GoBD-compliant and meet e-invoicing requirements \u2013 you\u2019re prepared when the e-invoicing obligation takes effect on January 1, 2027. Naturally, the invoices also support the required XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every invoice can be saved as a PDF, and when you use the payment link, you can see the status in real time: sent, viewed, paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Create your first invoice\u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-step guide \u2192<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A note for users in Austria: <\/strong>The invoicing feature is BAO and UGB-compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A note for users in Switzerland: <\/strong>We\u2019re currently working on Swiss requirements under the MWSTG and GeBuV. It\u2019ll be ready for you in a few weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a Payment Link and Get Paid Instantly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it needs to happen fast \u2013 for example when selling via social media. Enter the amount, create a payment link, share it via DM, WhatsApp, or email. Your client clicks, pays \u2013 and you immediately see that the money has arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Create your payment link \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Important: <\/strong>Payment links are not suitable for all business transactions. When a payment link is enough and when an invoice is required in Germany<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: Creating Invoices as a Freelancer or Service Provider<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re a graphic designer, copywriter, photographer, consultant? Then you know the cycle: finish project, write invoice, wait. With Jimdo, you create the invoice right after project completion \u2013 GoBD-compliant, with all the mandatory information your tax advisor expects. Your client receives it with a payment link and can pay immediately. No IBAN scavenger hunt, no \u201cI couldn\u2019t find your bank details\u201d excuses. And for quick payments in between \u2013 after a photoshoot or before a workshop \u2013 just send a payment link via WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payment link or invoice \u2013 when is which sufficient? <\/strong>In most business situations, an invoice is required. What exactly applies in Germany and Austria – find out when an invoice is required<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal: <\/strong>The path from \u201cwork done\u201d to \u201cpaid\u201d shouldn\u2019t feel like an extra task. It should just happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
