Invoice2go?

NOT REALLYA prototype of the interface is possible, but the durable product depends on difficult systems beyond the UI. Build a safer adjacent workflow instead.

BUILD FIRST

A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work

LEAVE FOR LATER

Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready

RESEARCH NOTES

What this tool actually does.

Invoice2go (owned by BILL) is a subscription invoicing and small-business finance app for web, iOS, and Android. Core workflow: create branded invoices/estimates from 8 templates, send via email, track views and payment status, and convert estimates to invoices. Clients pay online via credit/debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, or bank transfer; automated overdue reminders help collections. Users snap receipt photos to log expenses, attach expenses to invoices, track billable hours, and schedule appointments. Built-in reports and a dashboard surface outstanding payments and business insights; data syncs to QuickBooks or Xero for tax prep. Pricing: Starter, Professional, and Premium plans; 30-day free trial. Marketing claims saving about 10 hours/week and getting paid about 3 weeks faster. Used by freelancers, contractors, and small businesses in 160+ countries; iOS adds widgets and Siri Short

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a focused replacement for Invoice2go's core workflow: a mobile-first small-business invoicing web app (PWA acceptable) where a freelancer creates a client record, produces a branded estimate, converts it into an invoice, emails it with an online payment link, and tracks status (sent, viewed, paid, overdue). Include: an invoice/estimate builder with a few clean templates, logo upload and brand-color sync; a client directory; payment integration via Stripe (cards) and PayPal; automated overdue-payment reminder emails driven by a scheduled background job; receipt-photo upload with OCR-free expense logging and recurring expenses; billable time tracking per client; a dashboard of outstanding revenue with simple charts; and CSV plus QuickBooks/Xero-friendly export for tax time. Technical approach: React + TypeScript front end, Node/Express REST API, PostgreSQL (SQLite acceptable for a demo), PDF generation from HTML templates (e.g., Puppeteer), a job queue or node-cron for reminders, and a storage bucket for receipts. Do not copy Invoice2go's brand, logo, proprietary assets, texts, or UI; design an original interface. Out of scope: actually processing or underwriting payments, full double-entry accounting and tax filing, native iOS/Android apps, multi-currency tax compliance, and an in-app logo designer. Include a README covering setup (env vars for Stripe/PayPal keys, DB migration, seeding demo data), architecture overview, and known limitations (e.g., reminders require the worker process running; no offline mode).
