Not every job bills the same. Below are the specific billing patterns Glo Invoice was designed for — deposits before work starts, progress billing on long jobs, retainers for monthly clients, and the rest.
Deposit Invoicing — Collect Upfront in Minutes
Send a deposit invoice before the job starts. Collect 25%, 50%, or a fixed amount by card, Apple Pay, or bank transfer — no back-and-forth.
Progress Billing — Bill in Stages, Get Paid Faster
Break big jobs into progress invoices. Bill 30/30/40, milestone-based, or by percent complete. Track total, paid, and remaining in one place.
Retainer Invoicing — Bill Monthly, Get Paid Reliably
Retainer invoicing for freelancers, agencies, and service pros. Auto-bill monthly, track hours or scope, and get paid on time every cycle.
Subcontractor Invoicing — Bill the GC, Get Paid Faster
Invoicing built for subcontractors. Bill the general contractor by job or lien-friendly line items, track retainage, and see who paid what.
Materials + Labor Invoicing — Tax Both Correctly
Bill parts and labor on one invoice with separate tax treatment. Materials taxed, labor tax-free (or vice versa) — auto-calculated by line.
One-Off Job Invoicing — Send a Bill in 60 Seconds
Invoice a one-off job in under a minute. No monthly commitments, no setup — enter the customer, add lines, send by text or email.
Service Call Invoicing — Bill From the Truck
Service-call invoicing for trades on the move. Trip charge, diagnostic, parts, and labor — invoice from your phone before you leave the driveway.
Hourly Invoicing — Bill Time Cleanly
Hourly invoicing for freelancers and consultants. Log time, invoice by hour or day, and show the client exactly what they're paying for.
Flat-Rate Invoicing — Price the Job, Not the Hour
Flat-rate invoicing for trades and services. Save priced jobs once, invoice in two taps. Perfect for menu pricing, packages, and set fees.
Cash Job Invoicing — Give a Real Receipt
Cash jobs need real receipts. Invoice on the spot, mark paid in cash, and email or text the receipt so your books stay clean.
