Get Paid Quicker with Online Invoicing

GlassJar’s online invoice software gives your business what it needs to speed up payments and simplify billing. Send invoices by email, and clients can pay invoices by card through Stripe in just a few clicks.

Status Tracking for Full Visibility

See which invoices are open, partly paid, paid, or overdue. GlassJar keeps the status of every invoice current, so your team can follow up on late payments without guessing.

Cut Repetitive Billing Work

For regular clients, set an invoice to repeat on a schedule instead of building it from scratch each time. Every invoice posts to the same ledger as your bills, expenses, and bank transactions, so nothing needs to be entered twice.

Designed for Transparency and Action

Everyone who works on billing sees the same list of outstanding invoices and the same cash flow picture, so your team can stay aligned and make faster, more informed decisions. As you add people, role-based permissions let you decide who sees what.

GlassJar’s business invoicing software is built to simplify billing, speed up payments, and keep your cash flow moving. From a few clients to hundreds, our tools help you stay organized and in control with less manual work.

That makes it easier to answer questions from your accountant and keep clean records at tax time.

Card Payments Through Stripe

Card payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 provider. GlassJar does not store card numbers.

Simplify Invoicing and Payments for Small Businesses and Freelancers

Getting paid should not be the hardest part of running a business. Yet for many small businesses and freelancers, invoicing remains one of the most time-consuming, error-prone, and stressful parts of the workflow. From chasing payments to dealing with mismatched transactions and unclear terms, manual processes add friction to the cash flow cycle.

GlassJar solves this problem by offering intuitive, modern invoicing tools built specifically for small businesses. From a solo freelancer with five clients to a small agency sending hundreds of invoices a month, the system streamlines the process, from invoice creation to payment and reconciliation.

With card payments through Stripe built into the invoice, GlassJar gives both you and your clients a smoother experience.

Get Paid Faster with Online Payment Options Built In

Traditional invoicing systems are often disconnected from the tools used to collect payments. Businesses send an invoice in one system, accept payment in another, and then manually reconcile everything in their accounting software. This fragmented process creates delays and increases the likelihood of mistakes.

Card payments collected through Stripe are recorded against the invoice they pay, so you are not matching them by hand. You can also see the status of each invoice (sent, paid, or overdue).

For freelancers, this means faster payments without the awkward emails or back-and-forth follow-ups. For small businesses, it reduces admin time and improves cash flow predictability.

Accept Credit Cards Through Stripe

More clients than ever prefer to pay with a credit card. Many small invoicing tools send clients to clunky checkout pages, and those extra steps can reduce trust and delay payment.

GlassJar connects to Stripe so clients can pay an invoice by card. Your business is the merchant on every payment, and the funds go to your own Stripe account.

Because small businesses often rely on immediate cash flow to manage operations, being able to offer card payment right on the invoice matters.

Recording Checks and Bank Transfers

Some clients prefer to pay by check or bank transfer, especially for larger invoices. You can record those payments against the invoice in GlassJar, and the deposit shows up for matching when it reaches your connected bank account.

That means you don’t have to push clients toward one payment method. A one-time invoice for a design project or a monthly invoice for consulting can be paid the way that works best for the client.

When the deposit appears in your bank feed, approve the suggested match and the invoice is marked as paid in your books.

Professional Invoicing That Builds Trust and Confidence

Your invoice is more than just a payment request. It’s a representation of your brand. With GlassJar, freelancers and small businesses can send beautiful, customized invoices that reflect professionalism and credibility.

You can add your logo, adjust colors, set custom terms, and itemize services with descriptions, rates, and taxes. Invoices are fully responsive and viewable on desktop and mobile, allowing clients to review and pay from any device.

Each invoice shows its status, so you can see who owes what at a glance and follow up on late payments without digging through email.

For service providers that depend on recurring income, like monthly consulting, bookkeeping, or coaching, GlassJar supports recurring invoices. This ensures your clients receive consistent billing and that you don’t miss invoicing cycles.

Built for Freelancers and Growing Teams Alike

GlassJar’s invoicing system was developed with flexibility in mind. Independent freelancers benefit from simple, fast invoice creation and integrated online payments, while growing small businesses can scale with invoice templates and role-based permissions.

You can manage multiple clients, set unique payment terms, and create service-based templates that reduce repetitive work. Hourly, milestone, or flat-rate billing all fit the same workflow.

Team members get role-based access, so your internal processes can scale as your business grows. Business owners and managers can track invoicing volume and cash received from one dashboard.

Full Payment Tracking and Reconciliation

Once a payment is made, by card through Stripe or by check or bank transfer, it is recorded against the invoice and your books update. That cuts manual accounting tasks and improves reporting accuracy.

The system records payment date, method, client name, invoice number, and transaction ID. This makes it easy to filter and audit payments later, whether you’re preparing quarterly reports or responding to a client inquiry.

With payments recorded this way, small businesses spend less time reviewing bank statements and more time focusing on growth. And for freelancers, this means fewer spreadsheets and a clearer understanding of income.

Simple Setup and Secure Card Payments

Card payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 provider. GlassJar does not store card numbers.

Card processing fees are set by Stripe. Clients don’t need to create an account or download an app. They just click, review, and pay.

This simplicity is a major advantage for freelancers and solo operators who want to appear professional without managing multiple tools. For small businesses, it ensures the entire invoicing and payment process is consistent, reliable, and secure.

6 Reasons to Use GlassJar For Invoicing

Invoicing should take minutes, not evenings. GlassJar covers the billing cycle, from creating an invoice to collecting card payments through Stripe and recording what has been paid. Here are six reasons GlassJar works well for small business owners and freelancers billing their clients.

1. Payment Tracking Made Simple and Visible

Once an invoice is sent, knowing where it stands is just as important as creating it. GlassJar shows the status of every invoice, such as sent, partly paid, paid, or overdue, so you always know how much remains outstanding.

This allows for quicker follow-ups, better client communication, and better cash flow planning. For teams managing multiple accounts, centralized visibility reduces missed payments and forgotten follow-ups.

2. Card Payments Through Stripe

Clients can pay invoices by card through Stripe. Your business is the merchant on every payment, and GlassJar does not store card numbers.

Offering card payment on the invoice removes one more reason for a client to put off paying.

3. Custom Branding for Professional Invoicing

Invoices represent your business, and with GlassJar, they look the part. Upload your logo, apply your color scheme, and customize headers, footers, and line items. Keep it clean and simple or make it brand-rich and detailed. Our invoice templates adapt to your style.

Consistency in branding helps reinforce your business identity and gives clients confidence in the legitimacy and professionalism of your billing process. Every invoice can also include payment terms, policies, or notes to clarify next steps or offer appreciation.

4. Recurring Invoices Without Repetition

Save time and reduce errors with recurring invoices. GlassJar allows you to set a repeat schedule for any invoice, whether weekly, monthly, quarterly, or on a custom timeline. This feature is ideal for subscriptions, retainers, or ongoing contracts.

All recurring items can be tracked in one place, and adjustments can be made without canceling the full schedule. This means less time copying old invoices and more time focusing on service delivery.

5. Invoice-Level and Account-Wide Reporting

GlassJar includes robust reporting tools that let you analyze invoicing performance from every angle. Generate reports by client, status, payment method, or timeframe. See which invoices are overdue, which clients pay on time, and which service lines generate the most revenue.

You can also export reports for internal meetings, tax filing, or budget reviews. Every report is synced with your general ledger, reducing errors and enabling a smooth transition into monthly or year-end accounting processes.

6. Activity Logs for Team Oversight

Every invoice in GlassJar has an activity log showing who created it, who edited it, and when.

This feature is particularly useful for teams where multiple people manage the same accounts, helping everyone stay aligned and informed without relying on memory or manual updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best invoicing system for a small business?
For a small business owner doing their own books, we recommend GlassJar. Invoicing lives in the same system as your expenses, contacts, and reports, so a paid invoice lands in your books without a second step.

FreshBooks, Wave, and Zoho Invoice are also common choices, and each handles invoicing well on its own. The difference is scope. GlassJar is a full accounting platform, so you are not stitching an invoicing tool onto a bookkeeping tool later.

Which software is best for making an invoice?
We built GlassJar for exactly this. You can build a professional, branded invoice in a couple of minutes, add card payment through Stripe, and set it to recur, without wiring up a separate tool for each step.

FreshBooks and Zoho Invoice also produce polished invoices, and Wave is worth a look if free is the deciding factor. If you want every invoice to land in your books without a second step, GlassJar is built for that.

Is QuickBooks free for invoices?
No, QuickBooks is not free for invoicing. Invoicing is part of its paid plans, and what you pay depends on which tier covers the features you need, such as recurring billing and payment tracking.

If cost is the deciding factor, compare what each price actually includes. GlassJar bundles invoicing with your bookkeeping instead of selling it as a separate product, so it is one subscription rather than two. Wave is worth a look if you need something genuinely free.

What is the best software for small business bookkeeping?
GlassJar, if you are the owner keeping your own books. It was built for that person rather than for a trained accountant, so the workflows are shorter and the reports are the ones you actually use.

QuickBooks, Xero, and FreshBooks are all capable alternatives. QuickBooks is the most widely used, Xero is strong on multi-user access, and FreshBooks suits service businesses. Compare them on how much of your time the software asks for, not just the feature list.
