How to Generate a PDF Invoice in 60 Seconds
Getting paid should be the easiest part of a brand deal. But for most creators, invoicing is a headache — hunting for templates, filling in details manually, converting to PDF, and hoping you didn't mess up the bank details.
With brandea.today, you can generate a professional PDF invoice in under 60 seconds. Here's exactly how.
Step 1: Open your deal
Navigate to your Deal Pipeline and click on the deal you want to invoice. Every deal in brandea.today has its own detail page with all the info you need — brand name, deliverables, agreed rate, and timeline.
Step 2: Click “Create Invoice”
On the deal detail page, hit the “Create Invoice” button. brandea.today auto-fills most fields from your deal data:
- Client name and contact info
- Your business details (saved in your profile)
- Deal amount and currency
- Invoice number (auto-generated)
- Due date (default: 30 days from today)
Step 3: Review and customize
Check that everything looks right. You can edit any field — add line items, adjust the due date, include notes or payment instructions. The invoice preview updates in real time so you see exactly what the brand will receive.
Pro tip
Add your bank details and payment instructions to your profile once — they'll appear on every invoice automatically. No more copy-pasting IBAN numbers.
Step 4: Download PDF
Hit “Download PDF” and you've got a clean, professional invoice ready to send. The PDF includes your branding, all line items, payment terms, and a unique invoice number for your records.
Step 5: Track payment status
Once you've sent the invoice, brandea.today tracks its status automatically. You can see which invoices are pending, overdue, or paid — all from your dashboard. No more wondering “did they pay yet?”
Why this matters
Professional invoices get paid faster. When a brand receives a clean PDF with all the right details — instead of a Venmo request or a hastily-typed email — it signals that you run a real business. And businesses get paid on time.
