How invoicing works on Ruul

Invoicing on Ruul is designed to be simple: you create an invoice, your client pays it, and the money reaches you - with Ruul handling the legal and compliance side in between. Here’s the full flow.

How invoicing works

1. You create an invoice. After finishing a project or task, you create an invoice and send it to your client through Ruul. It includes the amount, currency, and a short description of the work - see how to create a one-time invoice for the steps.
2. Your client gets a secure payment link. Ruul emails your client a secure link - issued by Ruul as the Agent of Record - which they can pay by card or bank transfer. They don’t need a Ruul account.
3. A commercial invoice is issued. As soon as your client pays, Ruul automatically issues its own compliant commercial invoice to them, in its own name, and emails you a copy.
4. Your payout reaches you. Once Ruul has received the payment and run standard compliance and security checks, your payout is released to your chosen payout account - usually within one business day.
