If my client accepts an estimate, how do I bill them for the work?
You can easily convert your Estimate into an Invoice and collect payment. Once the Estimate has been reviewed by your Client, you can click on the “More Actions” button on the Estimate and then select “Convert to Invoice”. You will then be taken to the New Invoice page, where you can build the rest of your Invoice. You can either send the Invoice to your client or save it as a draft.
