I'd love to hear what people are using for sending invoices (with follow up emails if it's not paid) and collecting payment (ACH/CC). I've used Wave Accounting and Stripe for my invoices but I hate paying the Stripe invoice+tax fee but it's still less than the Amex fee on Wave so I put up with it. Maybe these are the best tools available to me at this price point and for my usage (4-6 invoices a year, $2-10K/ea) but I'm open to alternatives.
I use FreeAgent. It connects with all my business accounts and does automatic transaction matching to invoices. Sends emails and follow-ups. It also figures out all the tax things for me in the UK, not sure about other countries though.
Completely unrelated, but reading "FreeAgent" just now released a core memory for me of reading USENET in the 90s with the free version of Forte Agent. This site has the 16-color image that IIRC was the basis of the icon for Free Agent: http://www.diginfoserv.com/agent.html .. I think the icon was just zoomed in on the lady at the table?
edit: wow, of course there was a 16 bit version available:
> Agent is fully supported by the Agent Support Team and is available in 16 bit and 32 bit versions.
While i have only heard of Odoo and never actually used nor set it up, i thought it is more of a bugger, comprehensive ERP system...which might be overkill if one only needs an invoice generated here or there...no?
I've been self-hosting invoice-ninja for a number of years now... quite like it. Coupled with integration with Mollie payments all invoices also have a payment link and most smaller invoice payments are processed automatically.
I’m using Wave as well and I really like it. I only accept check or bank transfer (I don’t mind the 1% fee). It’s very feature rich for a free product.
