A sourcing invoice covers the billed line items, a totals block, and payment terms that say when work pauses and shipments get rescheduled.

One supplier says “yes” and then the ship date slips, leaving a subscription box launch stuck on one missing component. A sourcing invoice keeps the money side pinned down while lead times and backup plans get worked out, so there’s no confusion about what got billed and what happens if payment doesn’t land on time.
The invoice starts with Line items, then moves into payment terms under “Please pay by the date shown”, with a totals area that adds everything up. The wording also spells out split billing for setup, monthly billing for ongoing subscription commerce, and the point where new work pauses until payment comes through... so the client sees the rules before any next shipment gets booked.
In Plutio, you swap in your own lines and prices, then send the invoice to the client. If online payment is part of the plan, a connected payment method lets the client pay from the invoice, and the same record keeps the totals and payment terms together.

We appreciate you choosing us for subscription box sourcing
A sourcing invoice needs the billed line items, the totals, and the payment terms that say when payment is due and what happens if it’s late. This template includes all three, with payment wording written for subscription box sourcing.
Many teams split setup into staged payments and bill ongoing sourcing on a regular cycle. The included terms specify 50% to start, 50% on completion, and monthly invoicing for ongoing work.
Late payment terms usually say whether work pauses and what that means for shipping plans. The wording here states that new work pauses and shipments get rescheduled if payment isn’t received by the date shown.
A totals area collects the line items into a single amount due so the client doesn’t have to add anything up. This invoice includes a totals block under the payment terms section.
Online payment depends on whether a payment method is connected before sending. The template supports sending the invoice and getting paid online when that connection is in place.
The invoice can name the sourcing tasks, supplier work, and coordination being billed without describing the physical packaging changes. The line items are placeholders, so you can write descriptions that match the existing packaging & unboxing requirements.
