4. Itemize the interior design services and/or products provided, listing descriptions and prices for each item in columns or separate tables.
5. Total the invoice, including services, products, hourly rates (if applicable), discounts, taxes, payment terms, and accepted payment methods.
6. Include policies and notes such as privacy policy, refund policy, and any other required business policies in the "Notes" section.

With so many interior designers looking to digitize their business, there are many types of interior design invoice software available on the market today. When looking for a billing software that suits your needs, be sure to consider the following features:

1. Online Payment Functionality: An interior design invoice software that also allows clients to conveniently pay online helps cut down on the time it takes for you to get paid. Offering payment methods like credit cards or bank transfers provide safe and secure options that are faster than waiting for a check to clear.
2. Time & Expense Tracking: While your estimate should get you pretty close to understanding what resources a project will require, it’s important that your invoice will capture all time and expenses accrued along the way. Your interior design billing software should come equipped with time and expense tracking tools that aren’t just simple for your team to use, but that allow you to track as accurately as possible.
3. Accounting Integrations: The interior design invoice software you choose should integrate with your accounting software so you don’t have to enter financial data more than once. This also helps cut down on time preparing for tax season. Double win!
