Invoicing
How do I create and send invoices?
Create professional invoices through Corcava's invoicing module. You can add line items, apply taxes, set custom prefixes and numbering, brand with your logo and colors, and generate PDF invoices. Invoices can be sent directly to clients via email, and you can accept online payments through Stripe. The system also supports time-to-invoice conversion from tracked hours.
Does Corcava support multiple currencies?
Yes, Corcava has comprehensive multi-currency support. You can set a base currency for your team and create invoices in different currencies for international clients. The system handles automatic currency conversion, supports multi-currency payment tracking, and provides financial reporting across different currencies.
Can I set up recurring invoices for retainer clients?

You can configure billing schedules (monthly, bi-weekly, weekly), set client-specific recurring settings, and have invoices automatically generated and emailed to clients. The system also supports time-based invoice generation from tracked hours.
How do clients pay invoices online?
Clients can pay invoices online through the secure invoice portal. Corcava integrates with Stripe for card payments and PassimPay for cryptocurrency payments. Each invoice has a unique secure link, and payment status is automatically updated via webhooks. Clients receive payment confirmations and receipts automatically.
Can I track business expenses and bill them to clients?

Billable expenses can be added directly to client invoices, and you can attach receipts and supporting documents to expense records.
Can I customize invoice appearance with my branding?
Yes, you can fully customize your invoices with company logo, custom colors, custom prefixes and numbering systems, and professional templates. Each client can have unique invoice settings, and you can create different templates for different types of invoices or clients.
How do I set billing rates for time tracking?
Corcava supports flexible billing rates at multiple levels. You can set default rates per team member, override rates for specific projects, track rate history over time, and apply different rates for different types of work. The system warns you about missing bill rates on the dashboard.
How do I see time that hasn't been billed yet?
Corcava tracks uninvoiced time across all projects, making it easy to identify work that hasn't been billed to clients yet. Financial reports show separate 'Spent' and 'Billed' columns so you can quickly spot revenue opportunities and ensure all billable time is invoiced.
Can I set up approval workflows for team-generated invoices?
Yes! Corcava includes team invoice approval workflows. You can configure approval requirements for invoices generated by your team, set granular permission controls to determine who can approve, and receive automatic notifications when invoices need approval. This is perfect for agencies that need oversight on client billing.
Does Corcava support localized invoice numbers?
Yes! Invoice numbering supports localization in multiple languages. This makes it easier to work with international clients and comply with local invoicing requirements. You can also customize invoice prefixes per client or project for professional organization.
What do the different invoice statuses mean?
Invoice statuses include: Draft (not yet finalized), Sent (delivered to client but unpaid), Open (active and awaiting payment), Closed (completed and paid), and Cancelled (voided). These statuses help you track where each invoice is in the billing cycle.
Can different clients have different currencies?
Yes, absolutely. Each client can have their own preferred currency for invoicing and financial tracking. Corcava handles the currency conversion automatically and maintains accurate records in both the client's currency and your base currency.
Can clients make partial payments on invoices?
Yes, Corcava supports partial payment tracking. The system monitors the total amount paid, outstanding balance remaining, and payment history. Clients can make multiple payments toward an invoice until it's paid in full.

Can I set different billing rates for different projects?
Yes! Corcava supports flexible project-specific billing rates. You can set different rates per project to accommodate retainer clients, long-term contracts, or negotiated rates. The system tracks rate history over time and manages rate changes transparently.
