How can such a simple thing be so expensive? I don&#8217;t know. <strong>But I do know this &#8211; if you run your site on WordPress, using a WordPress invoice plugin can save you a ton of money on those recurring monthly fees that other invoicing tools charge.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Best of all, with the plugin I&#8217;m going to use for this tutorial, you may not even need to spend a penny. If that sounds intriguing, keep reading to learn how to set up a WordPress invoice plugin called Sliced Invoices and why it&#8217;s a good idea.<\/p>\n<h2>Why use a WordPress invoice plugin?<\/h2>\n<p>There are already plenty of fancy invoice tools, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshbooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freshbooks<\/a>, for example, so why should you use a WordPress invoice plugin instead?<\/p>\n<p>First off, <strong>you&#8217;ll save money<\/strong>. I already mentioned it, but it&#8217;s true. With a WordPress invoice plugin, you can get started either:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For free<\/li>\n<li>For a one time payment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whereas with something like Freshbooks, you&#8217;re likely looking at $25 per month<strong> for as long as you use the tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The only reason Freshbooks <em>might<\/em> be better than a WordPress invoice plugin is because Freshbooks still has access to PayPal Business&#8217; $0.50 flat-rate payments. But that only applies to payments between US bank accounts. So if you&#8217;re billing people outside the US or need to accept credit card payments, there&#8217;s little reason to continue paying for Freshbooks.<\/p>\n<p>Second, <strong>with a WordPress invoice plugin, you own your data.<\/strong> With third-party services, you&#8217;re trusting those services with your data. With an invoice plugin, you&#8217;re in sole control of your data. And as long as you <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/backup-a-wordpress-site-for-free\/\">back up your site<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/tighten-wordpress-security\/\">follow WordPress security best practices<\/a>, it will stay that way.<\/p>\n<h2>How to invoice clients from WordPress using Sliced Invoices<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper align-center large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin scheme2\"  id=\"wp-pic-sliced-invoices\" ><div class=\"wp-pic-large\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-pic-large-content\">\n\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"wp-pic-asset-bg\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/sliced-invoices\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"WordPress.org Plugin Page\">\n\t\t\t<img data-opt-id=1173497532  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/sliced-invoices\/assets\/banner-772x250.png?rev=1643289\" alt=\"Sliced Invoices &#8211; WordPress Invoice Plugin\" \/>\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-pic-asset-bg-title\"><span>Sliced Invoices &#8211; WordPress Invoice Plugin<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-pic-half-first\">\n\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"wp-pic-logo\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/sliced-invoices\/\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/ps.w.org\/sliced-invoices\/assets\/icon.svg?rev=1314180 );\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"WordPress.org Plugin Page\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-pic-author\">Author(s):\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/slicedinvoices\/\">SlicedInvoices<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-pic-version\"><span>Current Version:<\/span> 3.10.0<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-pic-updated\"><span>Last Updated:<\/span> December 12, 2025<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"wp-pic-dl-link\" href=\"https:\/\/downloads.wordpress.org\/plugin\/sliced-invoices.3.10.0.zip\" title=\"Direct download\">Direct Download<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-pic-half-last\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-pic-bottom\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-pic-bar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/view\/plugin-reviews\/sliced-invoices\" class=\"wp-pic-rating\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Ratings\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t92%<em>Ratings<\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/downloads.wordpress.org\/plugin\/sliced-invoices.3.10.0.zip\" class=\"wp-pic-downloaded\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Direct download\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t5,000+<em>Installs<\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/sliced-invoices\/\" class=\"wp-pic-requires\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"WordPress.org Plugin Page\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWP 4.0+<em>Requires<\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper--><link rel='stylesheet' id='dashicons-css' href='https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/css\/dashicons.min.css?ver=6.8.5' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<link rel='stylesheet' id='wppic-style-css' href='https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/dist\/wppic-styles.css?ver=6.1.1' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1\" id=\"jquery-core-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1\" id=\"jquery-migrate-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"wppic-script-js-extra\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\nvar wppicAjax = {\"ajaxurl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themeisle.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-admin\\\/admin-ajax.php\"};\n\/* ]]> *\/\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/assets\/js\/wppic-script.min.js?ver=6.1.1\" id=\"wppic-script-js\"><\/script>\n\n<p>I chose Sliced Invoices for this tutorial because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The core plugin is free<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s easy to use<\/li>\n<li>It has good developer support, which means any potential bugs get squashed fast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the free version of the plugin, you&#8217;ll be able to send out full invoices and collect payments via PayPal, which is enough for most billing needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Install and activate Sliced Invoices<\/h3>\n<p>To get started, <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin\/\">install the plugin<\/a> and activate it. <\/p>\n<p>You can either download Sliced Invoices from WordPress.org, the <a href=\"https:\/\/slicedinvoices.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">project&#8217;s official website<\/a>, or install it through your <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/customize-wordpress-admin-interface\/\">WordPress admin area<\/a>.

I&#8217;ll take you through them:<\/p>\n<p>First off, in the <strong>General<\/strong> tab, you should choose the start and end date of your fiscal year. And you should also set pre-defined line items. These are a nice way to streamline the invoice creation process. Add each pre-defined line item on a separate line following the format specified by Sliced Invoices.<\/p>\n<p>You can also configure the footer if you want, but it&#8217;s not necessary unless you don&#8217;t like the default message.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s everything discussed above:<\/p>\n<p><img data-opt-id=1903816034  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/how-to-use-wordpress-invoice-plugin-3.png\"  decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:eco\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/how-to-use-wordpress-invoice-plugin-3.png\" alt=\"Basic Sliced Invoices settings\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" style=\"-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);\" \/><noscript><img data-opt-id=1903816034  decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/how-to-use-wordpress-invoice-plugin-3.png\" alt=\"Basic Sliced Invoices settings\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" style=\"-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);\" \/></noscript><\/p>\n<p>Then, hop over to the <strong>Business<\/strong> tab and enter the basic details for your business.

From install to sending your first invoice only takes about 10-15 minutes. And if you&#8217;re okay with email invoices and PayPal for Internet payments, you won&#8217;t need to spend a dime on your invoice solution.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re already paying 3% transaction fee on your invoices, try a WordPress invoice plugin over a service that charges a monthly fee. You&#8217;ll save money and have more control over your financial information.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do you have any questions on how to set up and use Sliced Invoices?
