An Animation Invoice covers billed line items, totals, a due date, and the payment terms for an animation job.
The animation gets approved, the deadline gets close, and then the finance side still needs to stay clear when timing and revisions are the stressful part. This Animation Invoice gives the buyer one place to see what’s being charged and when payment is due, without the numbers getting rebuilt from scratch each time.
The invoice starts with Line items, then moves straight into Payment is due on the date, with headings in Raleway over a print-ink rose and glaze teal palette that keeps the important parts easy to spot. The payment text spells out the booking payment and the handover balance, and it also says what happens if the due date passes and payment still hasn’t landed.
- Line items The line items block holds the work being billed, so you swap the placeholder entry for your own description and price.
- Payment is due on the date The written terms confirm the due date, refer to payment details on the invoice, and describe the split between a booking payment and the handover balance.
- Totals The totals block calculates what’s owed based on the line items, so the buyer sees the final amount in one place.
Once the invoice is in your workspace, you replace the placeholder line with your own work and pricing, then send it through invoices, payments and receipts. If you’ve connected a payment method, the same invoice can be paid online, leaving the totals and due date to stay consistent across versions.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
