# Invoicing

> Client invoices, quotes, credit notes, payment reminders, and e-invoicing

Bill your clients from the terminal: draft invoices and quotes, finalize and send them, record payments, issue credit notes, and set up payment reminders.

An invoice starts as a **draft** you can change with `update`. `finalize` gives it its number and makes it final; `send` emails it, and `send-einvoice` delivers it over the e-invoicing network. `bulk-import` and `uploads` bring in invoices issued outside Qonto.
