What is a Proforma Invoice?

This article will show you what a proforma invoice is and why it is important for your business.

A proforma invoice is a quote/estimate you send to a customer before you do the job or deliver the goods. It helps the customer know the price and payment terms before confirming or accepting.

Why use it?

  • To confirm interest before selling

  • To collect a deposit

  • To look more professional

Use Cases:

  • When the customer requests a quote before making a commitment.

  • When requesting a deposit or advance payment.

  • To document an agreement-in-progress.

  • To avoid inventory confusion by ensuring customer intent.
