How to generate invoices and collect payments from a customer

Speak the invoice, send it in the conversation you're already having, get paid — Create Invoice automation turns billing from an evening chore into a thirty-second step at the moment of agreement.

The pain: for a service business, billing is where money goes to wait. The job is done, the customer is happy — and then the invoice happens later, on a laptop, from memory. Line items get forgotten, invoices go out days late, and every day between "done" and "paid" is a day you're financing your own customer.

The Blinko way: Create Invoice automation lets you build the invoice by voice, right when the work is agreed or finished. Dictate it the way you'd say it out loud — the parts, the labor, the quantities — and Blinko turns it into a proper multi-item invoice. No form-filling, no evening admin pile.

And because your customer is already on Blinko, delivery is where the conversation is: send the invoice inside the DM thread you're already having. The customer sees it in context — right under the discussion of the work itself — and pays from their phone. Agreement, invoice, and payment become one continuous moment instead of three separate chores.

Built for the businesses where billing friction hurts most: the mobile detailer wrapping up in a driveway, the handyman quoting parts and labor on the spot, the caterer confirming a final headcount over DM. Every payment is also tracked on the customer's profile, building the spend history you see in your customer list (see "Payments: connect and request payments" and "How to manage customers using Blinko").

The habit that pays: invoice at the moment of agreement, while you're still talking. The DM thread keeps a clean record of what was discussed, what was billed, and when it was paid — for both of you.
