Invoice Generator Guide

The Invoice Generator creates professional, itemized invoices tailored for upholstery shops.


How to use it:

  • Enter your shop name and contact information
  • Add client details (name, address, email)
  • Add line items for fabric, foam, labor, hardware, and extras
  • Set payment terms and deposit requirements
  • Generate and print or export

  • What to include on every invoice:

  • Fabric description, yardage, and cost per yard
  • Foam type, dimensions, and cost
  • Labor hours and hourly rate (or flat project rate)
  • Hardware: buttons, zippers, legs, casters, brackets
  • Pickup/delivery fees
  • Tax (if applicable in your state)
  • Deposit amount and payment terms

  • Deposit best practices:

    Most shops require 50% deposit before ordering fabric and starting work. This covers your material costs and protects against abandoned projects. Clearly state deposit terms and balance due date on every invoice.
