Essentially, an invoice and a bill communicate the same information and both work to help you get paid. Both can be created with online invoicing software, and both have line items about the sale of products or services, a due date, payment terms, sales tax, and other taxes, among other things. The main difference between invoicing and billing is that an invoice is generally used by a business to get paid by clients, whereas a bill is used by a customer to refer to payments (online or physical) they owe suppliers for their products or services. An invoice and a bill are essentially the same things, but the two terms are simply used by the different parties involved in the same transaction.
