Yes, right, it was beneficial to use free templates from different resources such as InvoiceBerry; I used their template, and I was able to customize it according to my business needs directly from the PDF format without having any additional tool to edit the template.

This is beautiful, thank you for your insights and guidance!
I’d like to know however, is it ok to input my business account information to the invoice? Thank you once again!

We're glad we could help! And yes, that's a common practice in some industries. Remain vigilant against fraud, and never include sensitive information such as your account PIN number or password.

What if you are going to send an invoice to a customer that’s going to pay with a bank transfer. Should the invoice contain bank details like IBAN?
