Help: Invoices

We use the Ravel Virtual Studios Clients website to keep track of all of our clients’ invoices. Usually, invoices are assigned directly to a project, but occasionally invoices can be independent of a project. A project may have multiple invoices, but usually will have only one. The RVS Clients site can accept credit card payments from residents of the United states. International clients will have to contact us for other means of payment.

Invoices List

We keep track of all invoices ever assigned to you. There are several ways to view all of your invoices.
You can see the five most recent invoices on the “Home” page, from most to least recent.

Invoice Page

Each invoice has its own page, organized into sections marked by tabs at the top of the page. Each section will have the invoice’s name at the top of the page.
Details: The default invoice page is the “Details” section. You can click on the “Details” tab at the top of the page to return to this section from other sections.

The “Details” section contains the itemized invoice, description, invoice ID, the project the invoice is associated with (if applicable) and other details.

The “Details” section also has buttons at the bottom of the page for most of the actions you can perform on a project; for example, committing to an invoice and paying for an invoice.
