A composer invoice covers the line items being billed, the totals, the due date, and what happens if payment doesn’t arrive on time.

A cut gets close to locked and the edit needs cues that land the moments without slipping the schedule. The buyer still needs a composer invoice that makes the amount due and the deadline unmissable, so the billing doesn’t turn into another round of emails while delivery is on the line.
The invoices, payments and receipts flow starts with Line items, where you swap the placeholder entry for your own cues, edits, or deliverables and price them. The payment block sits under “Please pay the amount shown by”, with a Totals area and wording that ties payment to delivery, so the client reads the due date and what happens if payment is late... before the conversation drifts back to creative notes.
In Plutio, you fill in the lines and prices, send the invoice to the client, and connect a payment method if you want the invoice paid online.
