Questions
How do I bill only some of my hours?
Type the invoice number only on the entries you are billing; the rest stay unbilled.
Can I charge VAT or sales tax?
Yes — set the tax rate in Settings; it is added to every invoice.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase. We'll try to fix the problem first; if we can't, you get a full refund through the store you bought from.
