How to add a new customer to your contacts
InvoiceOnline.com offers a convenient feature for saving and managing contacts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily add a new customer to your contact list either directly while issuing an invoice or separately in the Customers section.

1. Adding a new contact while issuing a document

The easiest way to add a new customer to your contact list is directly while issuing a document. How does it work?

  • Creating a document: Open the document creation tool. When entering customer details, fill in the name, address, email, Tax ID, and other relevant information.

  • Saving the contact: Once the invoice is issued, the customer’s details will automatically be saved in the Customers section. This means you won’t have to re-enter the data when invoicing the same customer again in the future.
