BillPad

Start with or without an account

Understand local browser storage, app sign-in and when an account is needed.

You can create invoices in the web app without registering. Your workspace is saved in this browser on this device. Opening another browser, using a different browser profile or moving to another device does not automatically bring those local records with you.

Sign-in and sync are available in the BillPad iPhone and Android apps and are rolling out on the web. If you don't see Sign in in Settings, you can keep using BillPad without an account.

Start in your browser

  1. Open BillPad in the browser you want to use for your work.
  2. Choose New invoice, or use Try a sample to explore with fictional details.
  3. Open Settings and complete Business profile before creating your own documents.
  4. Choose Save settings. Use Export backup regularly to keep a separate copy of your workspace.

When to sign in

The iPhone and Android apps require sign-in. On the web, when account access is available, Sign in to sync appears in Your account in Settings. Use the same sign-in identity on each device so that you reach the same workspace.

Needs a signed-in account: sending invoices by email through BillPad, hosted invoice links and viewed activity, automatic reminders, Stripe payment links, sync and Apple Watch. Creating local invoices and downloading a PDF do not require a web account.

Good to know

Signing out leaves the local workspace on the device. Clearing browser data can remove it. On a shared computer, consider who can access the browser after you finish. Keep a backup before changing browsers or devices, and check that your records are present before removing the original copy.
