The cut gets approved, the files are ready to hand over, and then the client needs a video editing invoice that makes the number and the terms hard to miss. This one starts with Line items, so the edit, colour work, or delivery prep can sit as clear rows with clear prices. The layout uses deep teal with brass accents under Lora headings, so the total stands out without turning the page into a poster.
The client reaches the payment block after the pricing, where Payment is due on the date spells out when payment is expected and what happens if payment comes in late. The same paragraph also pins down the deposit split for video editing and post, which helps stop the work drifting into endless back and forth while the delivery date creeps closer... and it keeps the handover moment from turning into an argument about when the balance is due.
In Plutio, you fill in your own description lines and rates, then send the invoice and collect payment online if you’ve connected a method under invoices, payments and receipts.
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.
