Using the Products within LANA, you can create and send invoices to your customers and clients. This will allow you to streamline the processing of your payments, to ensure you capture your money for your business. Follow the steps below to learn how:

Part 1: Creating and Sending an Invoice

Step 1: Create an Invoice 

• Navigate to Payments and click into the Invoice tab.
• Click +New to start creating your invoice.

NOTE: You may add generic notes for the invoice using the gear icon right before the "New" button.

Step 2: Edit Your Invoice

• Edit the image in the top left by clicking on it. This will open the media library where you may choose an existing image or upload a new image.

Step 3: Sending Your Invoice
