Features

Everything you need to get paid faster

All invoicing features are included on every plan. No feature tiers, no add-on fees.

Quote-to-invoice in one click

Turn an accepted quote into a professional invoice instantly. Line items, customer details, and job references carry across - nothing to re-enter.

Stripe payment links

Every invoice can include a Stripe payment link. Customers pay by card online and payment is recorded automatically. Stripe is included on all plans.

Invoice view tracking

See exactly when a customer opens your invoice. View history is logged on the invoice timeline so you can follow up with confidence - and stop chasing invoices that have already been seen.

Recurring invoices

Set up automatic invoices for maintenance contracts and service agreements. Define the schedule once and HiveSuite handles the rest - weekly, monthly, or custom.

Invoice status tracking

Filter invoices by status to see what is overdue, what is pending, and who needs chasing. Overdue counts are highlighted so nothing slips through.

Xero & QuickBooks sync

Invoices and ledger transactions flow to your accounting platform automatically. No manual exports, no double-entry. Both Xero and QuickBooks are included on every plan.
