Understanding Invoicing In Facility

Time To Pet Facility makes invoicing your clients extremely easy. In Facility, events are not automatically invoiced, giving you the flexibility to generate an invoice for clients whenever you're ready.
You may be wondering why events are not automatically invoiced in Facility—by not creating an invoice each time when events are scheduled or approved, you'll be prevented from having to charge a client for multiple invoices over a short period of time. For example, say pet parent Alex comes in with Fido at different days and times throughout the week, Monday-Friday. Instead of having a separate invoice for each time and day an event is scheduled for Fido, the facility can choose which events they would like to add to an invoice and decide to invoice Alex at the end of the week.
