What is an invoice?

An invoice is a document a seller sends to a buyer to request payment for goods or services. It records what was provided, how much is owed, and when payment is due. Unlike a receipt, which confirms a payment already made, an invoice is the request for payment itself.A clear, professional invoice does more than ask for money.
