Quick Invoice Pro on your iPhone
Your Pro plan, step by step.
Apple runs the billing, so your subscription lives in your Apple Account. Here is where everything is.
Cancel
- Open the iPhone's Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap Quick Invoice, then Cancel Subscription.
Pro keeps working until the end of the period you paid for. Cancel at least 24 hours before it renews. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. In the app, Settings › Quick Invoice Pro › Manage subscription takes you to the same place.
Get Pro back
- Open Quick Invoice and tap the Settings tab.
- Tap Quick Invoice Pro.
- Tap Restore purchases.
Use the same Apple Account you subscribed with. Do this after a new phone, a reinstall, or any time the app asks you to subscribe when you already pay. The app checks your subscription online, so make sure the phone has a connection.
Switch or refund
- To change between monthly and yearly, open Settings › your name › Subscriptions › Quick Invoice on your iPhone and pick the other plan.
- For a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, and choose Request a refund.
Apple takes the payment, so only Apple can refund it. We can't see or change your billing. Apple's own guides: cancel a subscription and request a refund.
Common questions
Straight answers.
Cost and Pro
What does it cost?
The app is free to download, and your first 5 invoices or quotes are free to send. After that, Quick Invoice Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription through the App Store: $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year in the US. The app shows the price in your country before you subscribe.
With or without Pro, you can always record payments, send receipts, resend or remind about anything already sent, and back up or export everything.
What counts as one of my 5 free sends?
Each quote or invoice counts once, the first time it goes to a client. Marking it as sent counts too.
Drafts, previews and receipts are always free. So are reminders, quote follow-ups and re-sends of anything already sent.
What happens to my records if I stop paying for Pro?
Nothing is taken away. Your quotes, invoices, clients and payments stay on your iPhone. You can still record payments, send receipts, resend or remind about anything already sent, and back up or export everything.
What needs Pro is sending new invoices and quotes once your 5 free sends are used. You can still write and save a new one. Sending it is the part that needs Pro.
I already pay for Pro, but the app asks me to subscribe
Open the app, go to the Settings tab, tap Quick Invoice Pro, then tap Restore purchases. Use the same Apple Account you subscribed with, and make sure the phone is online.

How do I cancel my subscription?
In the app, go to Settings › Quick Invoice Pro › Manage subscription. Or, on your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Pro keeps working until the end of the period you paid for.
The steps are above, with how to switch plans or ask Apple for a refund.
Your records
Where are my invoices kept?
Only on your iPhone, and in your iPhone's iCloud backup if that's on. There's no account and no server, so we can't see or recover your records.
That is why a backup matters. See the next question.
How do I move to a new phone or keep a safe copy?
- In the Settings tab, tap Backup, then Save a backup.
- Save the file somewhere safe, like iCloud Drive.
- On the new phone, install Quick Invoice, go to Settings › Backup and tap Restore from a backup.
- If you have Pro, tap Settings › Quick Invoice Pro › Restore purchases.
A backup file holds everything, including your logo and job photos. Restoring your whole iPhone from an iCloud backup brings Quick Invoice's data along too.
A good habit: save a backup every week.
I restored the wrong backup. Can I go back?
Yes, for 7 days. A restore replaces what's on the phone, but the app keeps a copy of what was there before. Go to Settings › Backup and tap Undo restore.
Can I export for my accountant?
Yes. In the Settings tab, tap Export for your accountant, then use Export invoices or Export payments to get a CSV file that opens in Numbers, Excel or Google Sheets.
Can I use it on two phones, or share it with a partner?
Not at the same time. Quick Invoice is made for one iPhone, and nothing syncs between devices, because your records never leave the phone. To move to another iPhone, save a backup and restore it there.
How do I delete my data?
Delete the Quick Invoice app to erase everything it stored on your phone. If your iPhone backs up to iCloud, that backup can also hold a copy: to delete it, turn Quick Invoice off under Backups in your iPhone's iCloud settings.
Backups and exports you saved are files you control. Delete them where you saved them. To have your anonymous subscription record removed, email us. The full Privacy Policy has the rest.
Sending and getting paid
How does a quote or invoice get to my client?
You send it by text, by email, or by sharing the PDF with another app. Texts go through your iPhone's Messages app and emails through Mail, with the PDF attached, so they come from you.
Email needs an account set up in Apple's Mail app. If you use a different mail app, choose Share PDF with another app.
Can clients pay online?
Yes, through your own accounts. In Settings › Getting paid, under Pay online, add your PayPal, Venmo, Cash App or a card payment link. Your invoices, texts and emails then carry a link to pay.
The client pays on that service and the money goes straight to you. Quick Invoice never handles the money, so record the payment on the invoice when it arrives.
Can I send quotes and invoices in Spanish?
Yes. Open the client and set Documents in to Spanish. That client's quotes, invoices, texts, emails, reminders and receipts then come out in Spanish. To make Spanish the starting choice for new clients, use Settings › Defaults › Documents for clients.
The app doesn't translate what you type, so write the items in Spanish too. The app's own screens are in English.
Does the app send reminders by itself?
No. Nothing goes to a client unless you send it. When an invoice runs late, the app suggests a reminder, ready-written, and you choose to send it by text or email. Set how often in Settings › Payment reminders, or switch the suggestions off.
What are quote follow-ups?
When a quote you sent has had no answer for 3 days, a card on the Documents tab suggests a friendly follow-up, ready to send by text or email in your client's language. It suggests one more 7 days later, and then stops.
Tap Later or Stop on any quote. If you called the client instead, you can log that from the quote. Follow-ups never use a free send.
How do I bill a regular client?
Open an invoice for that client, tap •••, then Repeat this invoice…. Choose every week, every 2 weeks or every month. Each invoice is ready for you to send when it's due.
Quotes and invoices
How do I add my logo and change the look?
Add your logo in Settings › Business details. Your license number goes there too.
Choose Classic, Modern or Bold and one of seven colors in Settings › PDF style. Every quote and invoice uses that look, including ones you send again.
Can I remove the "Made with Quick Invoice" line?
Yes. Go to Settings › Defaults and switch off Add "Made with Quick Invoice for Tradespeople" to PDFs.
I sent an invoice with a mistake. How do I fix it?
A sent invoice is locked, so it can't change by accident. You have two ways to put it right:
- Open it and tap Edit to unlock it, correct it, and send it again.
- Or tap •••, then Void invoice…, and make a new one. The voided invoice stays in your records, marked void.
Why can't I delete an invoice I sent?
Once a client has an invoice, it's part of your records. Deleting it would leave a hole in your numbers that an accountant or the tax office could ask about. So sent invoices are voided instead of deleted, and a number that has left your phone is never given out again.
Drafts that never went anywhere can be discarded.
Can I choose my invoice numbers?
You can set where the numbering goes next. In Settings › Defaults, change Next invoice number or Next quote number. A number that's already used is refused, so you can't make a duplicate.
How do I set up sales tax?
In Settings › Taxes. Set the rate, add a second tax if you charge two, and choose whether labor is taxed. You can also switch a tax off for a single line on a quote or invoice.
How do job photos work?
Add up to 6 photos to a quote or invoice, from the camera or your library. Each has an On PDF switch. The ones switched on print on a Photos page at the end of the PDF. The rest stay with your records.
Photos stay on your iPhone. They are only shared when you send a PDF or save a backup.
The app
I can't read the screen in the sun
Turn on High-glare mode in Settings › Display. The screens switch to black text on white with thick outlines. Your PDFs don't change.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account, no sign-up and no password. Open the app and start a quote.
Which devices and currencies does it work with?
Quick Invoice is an iPhone app. You can bill in US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand dollars, pounds or euros. Choose yours in Settings › Defaults.
Does it work with Larger Text and VoiceOver?
Yes, throughout the app. If you find a screen that doesn't work well with either, please tell us.
