Theme Settings
Invoice Theme
To choose an invoice theme that fits your style, review each option to determine which one appeals to you. We recommend the Pro theme for its professional and elegant appearance, making it an excellent choice for your needs.
Theme Color
Select a theme or accent color that not only looks good but also complements your law firm's logo or branding color. If you don't have any suitable options available, you can use a search engine to find color codes that match your preferences better.
Default due date
Specify the default payment period for clients to pay the full invoice amount before it becomes overdue.
Billed to
You can customize the text labels on your invoice from "Billed To" to "Matter," "Invoice Number," "Issued Date," and "Due Date" by editing or removing them below.
Company information
You have the option to control which aspects of your law firm's details appear on the invoice by checking or unchecking relevant check boxes. By default, all checkboxes are checked.
Additionally, you can add your company logo, address, and currency to each invoice template. This feature is particularly useful if you have multiple office locations, as you can customize the invoice templates accordingly to bill your clients accurately.

If you wish to include terms, conditions, or any other relevant notes on your invoice, you can do so in this section. By default, these fields are disabled and only appear once you enter the content. This allows you to customize the invoice to your liking and include any necessary information for your clients.
Outstanding invoices
The section in the invoice footer displays past invoice amounts that are overdue and have not been paid by the client. You can customize this section by editing the labels or checking the respective checkboxes to choose which labels to display.
