Book the job, set up repeat visits and let Wattlebase remind the customer the day before you arrive.

Bring your team

Invite office staff and workers. Assign jobs and give field workers their own view without the prices.

Xero and BAS ready

Useful workflow guidance

A practical invoicing workflow

A consistent process helps you send accurate documents promptly and keep a useful record of what was billed.

  1. 01
    Confirm the accepted scope

    Check the approved quote and make sure the invoice reflects the work or agreed billing stage.

  2. 02
    Review customer and business details

    Confirm names, contact details, identifiers and addresses before sending.

  3. 03
    Check line items, GST and currency

    Review quantities, prices, taxes and totals against the agreement and your circumstances.

  4. 04
    Set the due date and payment information

    Give the customer clear timing and a supported payment path or payment instructions.

  5. 05
    Send and get paid

    Email the invoice with a Pay now button. Card payments mark it paid automatically; record cash or bank transfers yourself.

A better customer experience

Keep billing understandable for you and your customer

Clear descriptions, due dates and totals reduce ambiguity and make it easier for customers to process an invoice.

Wattlebase is an operational quoting and invoicing tool, not accounting or tax advice. Confirm Australian invoicing and record-keeping obligations for your business.

Common questions

What small businesses ask

Can I create an invoice without an accepted quote?

Wattlebase currently creates invoices from accepted quotes so the agreed details remain connected.

Can I mark an invoice as paid?

Yes. Record full or part payments by cash, bank transfer or card and send the customer a receipt. When a customer pays online, the invoice is marked paid automatically.

Can I email and download invoices?

Yes. You can email a professional PDF invoice and download a copy for your records.

Does Wattlebase lodge tax information?

No. Wattlebase does not lodge BAS or tax returns. It does give you a GST report for any BAS quarter and can send invoices and payments to Xero for your bookkeeper.

Can my customers pay by card?

Yes. Connect your own Stripe account and invoices and deposits get a Pay now button for card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The money goes to your bank, the invoice marks itself paid, and Wattlebase takes no cut.

Can my staff use it too?

Yes. The Team plan is $39 AUD a month for up to 5 people. Invite staff with Owner, Office or Field access and assign jobs to them; field workers see their jobs without the prices.

Is there a Wattlebase app for my phone?

Yes. There’s nothing to download from an app store. Open wattlebase.com.au on your phone and add it to your home screen in two taps, and it opens full screen like any other app.

What if there’s no phone signal on site?

Keep working. Quotes and customers you create with no signal are saved on your phone and upload automatically when you’re back in range. Sending and PDFs wait until you’re online.
