The flow
Add a customer
Customers → Add customer — name and email are required; company and
address enrich the invoice PDF. Customers are archived, never deleted, so
old invoices keep their reference.
Draft the invoice
Invoices → Create invoice — pick the customer, currency (CHF, EUR or
USD), due date, optional memo, and line items. Line amounts are computed
server-side (
quantity × unit price). Numbers are sequential per merchant
(INV-1001, INV-1002, …).The total always equals the subtotal. Qint’s fee is a conversion spread —
it never appears as a line on an invoice or at checkout.
Send it
Send moves the invoice from Draft to Open, stamps the issue date,
and emails your customer a “Pay now” link
(
https://checkout.qint.ch/pay/inv_…) with the invoice PDF attached.
Sending again while Open re-sends the email.Customer pays on the hosted page
The hosted invoice page shows the line items, due date and your branding,
plus the asset grid. Paying works
exactly like any other checkout — a 15-minute payment window per attempt.
If the customer reopens the emailed link while a payment attempt is still
live, the same attempt is resumed rather than stacking a new one.
Paid, automatically
When the payment settles (confirmation alone isn’t enough), the
invoice flips to Paid, the paid date and payment are recorded, and the
customer receives a confirmation email with a receipt. You get the same
signal as
payment.status webhooks with invoiceId
set.Statuses
| Status | Meaning | Payable? |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | Being edited; fully mutable. Not visible to the customer. | No |
| Open | Sent and awaiting payment. | Yes |
| Paid | A payment settled against it. Terminal. | No |
| Overdue | Open past its due date (flipped by a background sweep). | Yes |
| Void | Cancelled from Draft, Open or Overdue — never from Paid. Terminal. | No |
PDFs
- Dashboard: every invoice has a PDF (drafts included, for preview) — inline view or download.
- Hosted page: customers can download the PDF for Open, Overdue and Paid invoices. Draft and Void invoices are never publicly visible — their public URLs return 404.
- Paid invoices are watermarked PAID.
