Quick answer

Open the free Rand & Rule invoice generator, fill in your details, the client and the work, then tap Print / Save as PDF. It runs in your browser, needs no account and stores nothing on our servers. Send the PDF by WhatsApp or email.

Why use an online invoice maker

  • No software to buy or install
  • Works on Android and iPhone
  • Rand amounts and the 15% VAT line are handled for you
  • Consistent, professional layout every time

Step by step on your phone

  • Open the invoice generator
  • Enter your business name, contact details and banking details
  • Add the client's name and details
  • Add each line item with quantity and price
  • Switch VAT on only if you're VAT registered

When you outgrow it

Once you send several invoices a month, keep a sequential register and track payments. The Starter Kit's tracker does both, with editable invoice, quote and statement templates.
