Frequently Asked Questions
How Do Client Accounts Work?
Clients can view, print, and pay Invoices, Estimates and Proposals with the link you send them, without having to sign up for an account in the FreshBooks platform. You’ll have a birds-eye-view of client activity making it easy to follow up and support clients.
A Client Account lets clients take action by commenting on Invoices, Estimates and Proposals, as well as collaborating on any Projects they’re invited to. Client Accounts also let clients save payment information safely, making it easy to pay future Invoices.
You can prompt Clients to create an account by sending them an Invoice, Estimate, or Proposal. Your Client can then click the “Save this Invoice/Estimate/Proposal” button or the “Log in to view all Invoices/Estimates/Proposals” link. From here, they can create a password, and then they can view their new account.
If you invite your Client to a Project instead, they can click the button in the email inviting them to the Project. They can then create a password and fill out some information before being taken to their account.

Can Clients Save Their Payment Details?
FreshBooks client management system makes every process easy for clients. Client Accounts can be used to save any credit card and Bank Transfer (ACH) details for re-use on any new Invoice. A client must log into a Client Account in order to use the saved information to pay an Invoice. Saved payment information can then be used with payment automation to create recurring payments on invoices and subscriptions.

How Do I Work With Clients on a Project?
A Client Account lets clients collaborate on any Project they’re been invited to. This collaboration includes commenting, sharing files (images, gifs, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets) and posting links.
A Client can click on the Project section of their account anytime. From here, they can share any comments, files, or links in the “discuss” area.
A great way to foster client relationships in FreshBooks is by collaborating on Projects by sharing files, attachments or comments with your Client and Team Members. Everything is stored inside the project for easy reference anytime you need it.
