What is billing software?

You may be used to creating paper invoices to request payment or paying invoices by cheques in the mail. Online billing software does the receiving and payment work for you. It replaces the need for paper invoicing and accounting or Excel-based invoicing and accounting.

How does billing software work?

Once you register for online billing software, you are able to access all your data through the web. Sometimes it can be downloaded right on to your computer and you can access your data only from your device. However, more and more, it is operating “in the cloud”. This means that all data and user accounts live online, not on your desktop. Standard features of billing software include automated payments, generated invoices and a space for business accounting.
