Quotes and Invoices: Creating the Invoice with Finance Connect

Written by Kay Depper

Last published at: January 26th, 2026

The Quotes and Invoices feature allows you to streamline your billing process by creating professional payment requests and tracking them in real-time. 

To make the checkout experience even more powerful, we’ve integrated Finance Connect. This feature allows you to offer premium financing through your existing partners directly at the point of payment. It eliminates the back-and-forth of paper PFAs, improves conversion rates, and helps you get paid faster with upfront terms and automated e-signatures.

Don’t have Finance Connect set up yet? Let’s get you started! There is no additional monthly fee to use Finance Connect. Click here to learn more or contact our team to connect your preferred Premium Finance Company (PFC).
