Searching for the best WordPress invoicing plugins to help you get paid?
Below, you’ll discover 10 of the best invoice plugins for all different types of use cases. Whether you want a full-service invoicing tool with frontend client dashboards or you just want to offer a simple way for your customers to pay you online, you’ll be able to find a great option on this list.
We’ll start with a quick overview of WordPress invoicing plugins, and then we’ll dig into each plugin in more depth, including what we like about the plugin and its pricing information. Spoiler alert — almost all of the plugins on this list have free versions!
What are WordPress invoicing plugins?
WordPress invoicing plugins are plugins that let you build customizable invoices to send to customers. Beyond generating invoices, most WordPress invoice plugins also let you accept online payments via gateways like PayPal, Stripe, Square, and more.
Some invoicing plugins offer a full-service approach to invoicing. They let you customize every part of the invoice, add custom or pre-defined line items, calculate taxes, and more. You can send invoices to customers via email or let your customers manage invoices from a front-end client area on your site.
Other invoice plugins are more focused on the payment aspect of things. For example, you could add a simple “Pay Now” button to make it easier for customers to pay you, or you could create payment forms that calculate the proper payment amount for each customer.
Regardless of the exact approach, all of the plugins on this list can help you simplify your business processes, create a better experience for your customers, and get paid faster.
The 10 Best WordPress Invoicing Plugins
1. Sprout Invoices
Sprout Invoices is a native WordPress invoicing plugin that’s exclusively focused on client invoicing. This is in contrast to some of the other plugins on this list that offer invoicing functionality but only as part of a broader feature set.
With such a singular focus, Sprout Invoices is able to create an optimized invoicing experience for both you and your customers.
You can generate invoices right from your WordPress dashboard and easily share them with your customers. Customers can then pay their invoices online using a variety of different payment gateways. You can also give them their own customer dashboard area so that they can see current and past invoices.
Sprout Invoices uses a modular approach, which lets you choose which features you want to activate on your site.
What We Like
- Create both invoices and quotes, including setting up pre-defined invoice line items to save time.
- Accept one-time or recurring invoice payments via a variety of payment gateways, including PayPal and popular alternatives like Stripe, Square, and others.
- Customers can view and manage their invoices from a customizable client dashboard.
- Implement more flexible invoice scenarios, such as accepting deposits or creating custom payment terms.
- The plugin integrates with lots of other plugins and tools that you might be using. There’s also a catch-all Zapier integration that lets you connect to any app on Zapier, such as syncing your invoices with the HubSpot CRM.
- There’s a functional free version of the plugin that can work for basic invoicing.
Pricing: Sprout Invoices has a basic free version at WordPress.org with the core invoicing functionality. Premium add-ons let you accept payments via multiple gateways and add tons of features from $79 to $599.
2. Sliced Invoices
Sliced Invoices is another WordPress invoice plugin that focuses exclusively on helping you create a native WordPress invoicing system. It’s been around for quite some time now and is one of the most popular invoicing plugins in the WordPress.org directory.
You can use it to create both quotes and invoices from your WordPress dashboard. Then, clients can pay online and manage their invoices from a front-end client dashboard. You can also implement more advanced payment scenarios, such as accepting partial deposits and setting up automatic recurring payments.
Like Sprout Invoices, Sliced Invoices uses a modular approach so that you can pick and choose exactly which features you want for your invoicing system.
What We Like
- Create both quotes and invoices, including using pre-defined line items, customizing the prefixes/suffixes, and lots more.
- Set up custom tax rules, either globally or using different rules for different clients.
- Accept online payments via PayPal, Stripe, Authorize.net, Braintree, or 2Checkout.
- Let customers view and manage invoices from a front-end client dashboard.
- Implement more advanced payment scenarios, including partial deposits and recurring subscriptions.
- Integrate with popular WordPress form plugins, including Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms, and others.
- There’s a functional free version of the plugin that can work for basic invoicing.
Pricing: The core Sliced Invoices plugin is available for free at WordPress.org. If you want access to advanced, you can either purchase individual extensions or buy a bundle. The bundle prices start at $79 and go up to $299, depending on the extensions that you want.
3. GetPaid
GetPaid is another popular WordPress invoicing plugin that’s available at the free WordPress.org plugin directory.
One standout detail in GetPaid, when compared to plugins like Sliced Invoices and Sprout Invoices, is that GetPaid is a little more flexible when it comes to accepting payments. For example, in addition to creating traditional invoices, you can also add “Buy Now” buttons and links to your site, as well as more robust payment forms.
If you want the ability to add direct payment options alongside sending invoices to customers, GetPaid might be a better option than the previous two WordPress invoicing plugins.
What We Like
- Create both invoices and quotes that you can send to customers.
- Offer other ways for customers to make payments, such as payment forms or simple “Buy Now” buttons.
- Accept one-time or recurring payments via tons of different payment gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Square, Mollie, and more.
- Sell physical or digital products in addition to creating invoices.
- There’s a functional free version of the plugin at WordPress.org.
Pricing: The core GetPaid plugin is available for free at WordPress.org. Individual add-ons cost $39 or $49 each, depending on the add-on. A bundle of all add-ons costs $199.
4. Gravity Forms
Gravity Forms is an all-purpose WordPress form plugin, rather than a dedicated WordPress invoice plugin. However, its flexible calculation functionality and ability to accept online payments means you can easily adapt it to offer quotes and invoices.
Because it’s a form plugin, Gravity Forms works best when you want to collect input from your customers and then generate an invoice or quote based on that input. This is in contrast to some of the other invoicing plugins, where you would enter the line items yourself rather than having the customer provide any information.
For example, you could let customers choose what services or products they want to purchase using the form. Then, you could automatically send them an email/PDF invoice and accept payment right from your form.
To learn more, you can check out our full Gravity Forms tutorial.
What We Like
- Create custom web forms to collect input from your customers.
- Perform calculations based on customer input to generate an accurate invoice or quote.
- Accept online payments using a variety of different gateways, including PayPal, Stripe, Square, and more.
- Send the invoice/quote as an email and/or provide a downloadable PDF version.
- Access a huge library of third-party Gravity Forms add-ons to customize your setup as needed.
- Use Gravity Flow to set up more advanced business process workflows and Gravity PDF if you want to generate PDF invoices. Gravity Flow is owned by the same team behind Gravity Forms.
Pricing: Gravity Forms only comes in a premium version. While it has plans starting at $59, you’ll want at least the $159 pro license to access the ability to accept online payments for your invoices.
5. HubSpot
HubSpot is a powerful customer relationship manager (CRM) that you can integrate into your WordPress site via the free HubSpot WordPress plugin.
As part of its CRM functionality, HubSpot also includes the ability to create and send invoices to customers.
You can use the WordPress plugin to create customizable web forms and lead capture forms. Beyond your forms, you can also use the live chat widget to connect directly with your customers. Once you have a customer’s details, you can then send them an invoice using the HubSpot dashboard.
What We Like
- Store customer information in a full-service CRM.
- Create invoices directly from the HubSpot interface.
- Accept payments via credit/debit card or ACH bank transfer.
- View reports to see upcoming invoices, overdue invoices, and more.

- Use forms, pop-ups, and live chat to engage with customers on your WordPress site and store their details.
Pricing: The HubSpot CRM is free, and the HubSpot WordPress plugin is also available for free at WordPress.org.
While you can create quotes using the free version of HubSpot, you’ll want at least the HubSpot Sales Hub Starter plan to create invoices and accept online payments. This plan starts at $45 per month.
6. Jetpack CRM
Jetpack CRM is a WordPress CRM plugin that comes from Automattic, the same team behind the Jetpack plugin, WordPress.com, and WooCommerce. That is to say, it comes from one of the largest WordPress businesses in existence.
The plugin offers general CRM functionality so that you can collect and store client relationship information in your WordPress dashboard. As part of this, Jetpack CRM also lets you send invoices to your clients.
With the premium version, you can also accept online payments for your invoices via PayPal or Stripe.
What We Like
- Create unlimited invoices, including support for line items, custom payment terms, taxes, and more.
- Store customer details in a full CRM that you can access from your WordPress dashboard.
- Send PDF invoices to customers in addition to offering a web-based invoice.
- Accept online payments via PayPal or Stripe.
- Comes from a very large and established WordPress developer.
Pricing: Jetpack CRM has a free version at WordPress.org with invoicing, but to accept online payments as part of your invoices, you’ll need the Invoicing Pro add-on, which starts at $132 per year.
7. PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce
As the name suggests, PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce is not a standalone WordPress invoicing plugin. Instead, it adds PDF invoicing functionality to the WooCommerce plugin.
If you do need to add invoicing capability to WooCommerce, this is one of the best plugins to help you do that. But if you’re looking for a standalone WordPress invoicing solution, you’ll want to choose a different plugin on this list.
What We Like
- Create PDF invoices based on WooCommerce order details.
- Automatically attach the PDF invoice to the order confirmation email, while also letting customers download a copy from the WooCommerce “My Account” area.
- Generate pro forma invoices that you send to customers before they make their purchases.
- Download PDF invoices from the order admin page — you can save these for your records or manually share them with customers when needed.
- Access different PDF invoice templates that you can customize to your needs.
Pricing: PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce has a capable free version at WordPress.org. Two premium offerings provide additional features, priced at €39 and €59.
8. Invoice Gateway for WooCommerce
Invoice Gateway for WooCommerce is another WordPress invoice plugin that’s built on top of the WooCommerce plugin. However, it’s a little bit different than the previous plugins on our list.
It works by adding an “Invoice” payment gateway option to your store, which opens up the following scenario:
- Customers browse your WooCommerce store and add the products or services that they’re interested into their carts.
- They start the regular WooCommerce checkout process, just like they were making a purchase at an ecommerce store.
- On the checkout page, they choose “Invoice” as the payment method.
- Your store creates an order for the customer and marks it as “Processing.”
- You can reach out to the customer to have them pay via any method, whether that’s a different payment plugin, cash in person, a bank transfer, and so on.
While this approach certainly won’t work for all invoicing situations, it can come in handy in certain use cases, especially if your customers are reluctant to pay for large orders online.
What We Like
- Use WooCommerce to display your products and/or services.
- Shoppers can browse your offerings and add items to their “carts.”
- Shoppers can choose an “Invoice” option at checkout to receive an invoice for the items/services in their carts.
- Accept payments via any method that works for you, such as cash in person or other online payment options.
- Combine it with the PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce from above to also offer PDF invoices to your customers.
Pricing: The Invoice Gateway for WooCommerce plugin is 100% free and available at WordPress.org.
9. Paymattic
As the name suggests, Paymattic is primarily focused on accepting online payments via your site.
While it doesn’t offer line-item invoicing like some of the other tools on this list, this focus can make it a good option if you’re primarily just looking for an easy way to let your clients make one-time or recurring payments on your site.
On the other hand, if you do want a more robust tool with customizable invoice templates and line-item invoicing options, you’ll probably want to use a different plugin on this list.
What We Like
- Create unlimited payment forms to accept one-time or recurring payments from your customers.
- Offer preset payment amounts or let customers enter custom amounts.
- Accept payments via a variety of different gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Square, and more.
- Customize your payment forms using a drag-and-drop editor.
- There’s a functional free version at WordPress.org.
Pricing: Paymattic has a basic free version at WordPress.org that lets you accept one-time payments via PayPal. To unlock advanced features, the premium version of Paymattic starts at $119.88 per year with a first-year discount that reduces the price to $59.88.
10. Easy Digital Downloads Invoices
Easy Digital Downloads Invoices is similar to the PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce plugin from above. But while that plugin focuses on adding invoicing to WooCommerce, this plugin is focused on adding invoicing to Easy Digital Downloads.
If you’re not familiar with Easy Digital Downloads, it’s an ecommerce plugin that helps you sell digital products or services via your WordPress site.
With this plugin, you can generate web and PDF versions of an invoice for customers’ order details. You can attach these invoices to emails that you send to customers, and customers can also generate an invoice from the Easy Digital Downloads “My Account” area.
What We Like
- Easy Digital Downloads offers a flexible system to collect one-time or recurring payments.
- Attach PDF invoices to emails that you send to customers.
- Let customers generate PDF or printable invoices from their “My Account” areas.
- Accept payments via Stripe, PayPal, CashApp, and Apple Pay, with more options available on higher-tier plans.
Pricing: While the core Easy Digital Downloads plugin is available for free at WordPress.org, you need at least the Easy Digital Downloads Personal Pass to access the Invoices extension. The Personal Pass costs $199 per year, with a discount for the first year to make it just $99.50.
Getting Started
That wraps up our roundup of the best WordPress invoicing plugins. All of these plugins bring something unique to the table, so it’s really just about choosing the plugin that best matches your feature needs and budget. For example, Sliced Invoices or Sprout Invoices are probably the best options in terms of pure invoicing tools, while HubSpot and Jetpack CRM could be better options if you want full CRM functionality in addition to invoicing.
Many of these invoicing plugins have free versions. So if you’re still on the fence, try a few free plugins to find which one works best for you. Once you find the right option, you’ll be ready to start invoicing your customers in no time.
