See the latest features, improvements, and fixes available in InvoiceCraftly. Newest updates appear first.
Less retyping in the editor
Save a client or line item once, reuse it on the next invoice
New
Saved clients. Save a buyer from the Buyer section, then pick them from a combobox on a future document instead of retyping their details.
Saved line items. Save a line item's description, price, and unit, then pull it back into any invoice row from a per-row picker.
Improved
Resizable, collapsible workspace. Drag the divider between the editor and preview to resize the split, or collapse either side; your preference is remembered.
Inline invoice-number rename. Click the document-number pill to rename it directly, without opening a separate settings panel.
Cleaner toolbar on wide screens. The template selector and toolbar groups no longer clip or crowd each other on larger windows.
Fixed
More reliable backup export. Workspace backup export no longer fails in browser contexts where the standard cryptographic API is unavailable.
Good to know
Saved clients and items live on this device. They travel with your workspace backup like the rest of your documents and settings.
Open the invoice editor, save a client or line item, then reuse it from the picker.
Easier integration, lighter exports
Official npm and PyPI packages, plus smaller PDF files
New
Official Node.js client.@invoicecraftly/client is published on npm with install and quick-start snippets on the Developer Document API docs.
Official Python client. The invoicecraftly package is published on PyPI for the same Document API.
Public Next.js example. A deployable example app on GitHub shows a real integration end to end, including a server-side PDF generation route.
Improved
Smaller PDF exports. The rasterized page in exported PDFs now uses efficient JPEG compression instead of lossless PNG, cutting file size with no visible loss in quality; the scan-to-pay QR code still decodes correctly.
Good to know
The SDKs call the same public Document API. They use your existing API key and are subject to the same monthly render quota as direct API calls.
Open the Developer Document API docs to install the Node.js or Python client, or browse the Next.js example.
More local tools, easier sign-in, better navigation
Norway address lookup, an ISO 11649 reference tool, and clearer comparisons
New
Norway address lookup. Look up a Norwegian address to help fill seller or customer details before starting an invoice.
RF creditor reference generator and checker. Generate or validate an ISO 11649 structured creditor reference (RF reference) using its MOD 97-10 check digits.
ECB FX reference-rate calculator. Convert an amount using European Central Bank reference rates for informational reference.
Comparison pages. New pages compare InvoiceCraftly with Invoice Generator, Zoho Invoice, and InvoiceSimple across pricing, data residency, billing automation, payments, and AI features.
Create an invoice from a quote. From the Document Library, turn an eligible saved quote into a new invoice with its own number and dates, without changing the original quote.
Improved
Sign in from any page. Account access now appears directly in the site header on public and marketing pages, not only inside the editor.
Connected glossary and tools. Glossary entries link to the related tool that uses that term, and tool pages link back to the related definitions.
More developer integration recipes. Five new recipe pages walk through common integrations: auto-emailing a PDF after payment, batch-generating from a CSV, SaaS billing, a Stripe webhook, and a no-code Zapier setup.
Good to know
An RF check does not guarantee bank acceptance. It confirms the reference is correctly formed; your bank or the recipient may still apply their own rules.
Comparison pages reflect our own research. Competitor pricing and features can change; verify current details directly with the other provider before deciding.
Check e-invoice readiness and pull structured XML from your own code
New
E-invoice readiness endpoint.POST /api/v1/invoices/readiness reports whether an invoice is ready for EN16931-core e-invoicing and exactly what's missing, using the same API key as PDF generation.
Structured XML endpoint.POST /api/v1/documents/structured returns the same readiness diagnostics plus the rendered EN16931-core UBL/XML artifact once an invoice is ready.
Improved
Fuller developer docs. The Developer Document API page now documents all three endpoints with curl, Node.js, Python, and PHP examples, request/response field references, and an API-specific changelog.
Good to know
EN16931-core, not Peppol. The structured XML is EN16931-core UBL/XML only — there's no Peppol BIS artifact, network delivery, or official-conformance claim.
No quota yet on the new endpoints. The 100-render monthly quota still applies to PDF generation only.
The invoice glossary now connects important terms to the tools that use them
New
Expanded invoice glossary. New definitions cover core document types and invoice fields, payment terms, VAT and VAT invoices, VAT numbers and VIES, reverse charge and intra-EU invoices, e-invoices and PDF invoices, EN 16931, and UBL.
Official references for regulated topics. VAT and e-invoicing definitions now point to relevant official sources so you can see where important terms and requirements come from.
Improved
Faster glossary navigation. A clearer quick index makes it easier to scan the glossary and jump to the concept you need.
Better links between learning and doing. Glossary entries connect to related InvoiceCraftly tools such as the VAT calculator, VIES VAT number checker, and e-invoice XML viewer, while guides and tools can link back to the matching definitions.
Danish invoices can now be exported for manual import into e-conomic
New
e-conomic CSV export. From a Denmark-market invoice, choose Export for e-conomic, add the destination account and VAT codes required by your e-conomic agreement, and download a CSV for manual customer-invoice import.
Improved
Clearer export checks. InvoiceCraftly points out the e-conomic values that still need attention before the CSV is ready to download.
Good to know
This is a file export, not a direct connection. You still import and review the CSV in e-conomic; InvoiceCraftly does not automatically send, sync, or post it.
The export currently applies to Danish invoices. Use a Denmark-market document when preparing an e-conomic CSV.
Open the Danish experience, create or open an invoice, and choose Export for e-conomic when you are ready.
More local payment and e-invoice checks
Denmark, Sweden, and Finland gain more payment and Peppol tools
New
Danish FIK 71 payment-reference tool. Generate or validate a FIK 71 payment reference before copying it into a Danish payment workflow.
Peppol recipient checks for Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Review public Peppol information to help determine whether a recipient can receive the relevant e-invoice document type.
Improved
E-invoice XML review in one place. The e-invoice XML viewer now includes readiness checks that can flag common issues while you review a supported structured invoice file.
Clearer Danish Peppol results and navigation. Recipient-check results show more useful next actions, and Danish pages use more consistent navigation to related invoice tools and guidance.
More direct product language. Public pages focus more clearly on the task you can complete, while detailed privacy and security explanations stay in the relevant reference pages.
Good to know
Recipient checks do not send e-invoices. They help with preparation; delivery still happens through your chosen e-invoicing service or network.
Compare document types and find the right next step more easily
New
Document types comparison. A new guide compares invoices, quotes, estimates, receipts, and credit notes so you can choose the document that matches the job before opening the editor.
Improved
Clearer invoice guide. The main guide now stays focused on creating and completing an invoice, with related questions linked to the most useful guide or tool.
Easier navigation between related pages. Document types, guides, templates, and use cases now make it clearer where you are and what to explore next.
Better Nordic navigation. Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish pages more consistently keep you in the matching local experience when an equivalent page is available.
Personal Cloud beta adds Google Drive and clearer backup history
New
Google Drive in Personal Cloud beta. Eligible signed-in users can connect Google Drive as an optional backup location alongside Dropbox.
Clearer backup history. See which backups are available in the connected Google Drive or Dropbox account.
Improved
Clearer storage choice. Dropbox and Google Drive now show more useful connected, retry, reconnect, and backup states.
Backup remains under your control. Connecting a storage account does not automatically save every edit; you choose when to back up and restore.
Good to know
Personal Cloud is still in beta. Availability may be limited, and Google Drive or Dropbox must be connected separately from your InvoiceCraftly sign-in.
Backups stay in your connected storage account. Personal Cloud is for backup and restore, not automatic document syncing.
Sign in from the Account page to see the storage options available to your account.
Structured invoice export
EN 16931 / UBL XML export enters beta
New
EN 16931 / UBL XML export beta. Export an invoice as UBL XML for supported EN 16931 workflows when the required invoice details are complete.
Extra e-invoice details when needed. Add seller and customer country, seller VAT identifier, VAT category, and unit code for invoices that need structured XML export.
Improved
Clearer export checks. If the XML file is not ready, InvoiceCraftly now points out the invoice details that still need attention.
Better address export. Longer seller and customer addresses are exported more reliably in UBL XML files.
Good to know
Peppol sending is not included yet. This beta creates the UBL XML file for download; it does not send the invoice through the Peppol network.
Review e-invoice details before export. Check country, VAT category, unit code, identifiers, tax treatment, and other business information before using the file.
Open the invoice editor and choose EN 16931 / UBL XML from the export options when you need a structured invoice file.
Less retyping and stronger account controls
Smart Start can create an editable invoice from text and text-based PDFs
New
Describe work and create an invoice. Write or paste the work, customer, prices, dates, and payment terms you know, review the extracted details, then create a normal editable InvoiceCraftly invoice.
Text-based PDF import. Select a PDF that contains readable text, review the extracted invoice details, and create an editable draft.
Account export and deletion. Signed-in users can download their basic InvoiceCraftly account information and delete their InvoiceCraftly account from the Account page.
New Danish invoice guidance. Danish pages now cover invoice templates, common invoice requirements, offers, credit notes, and invoice numbering, with direct links to the Danish editor and related tools.
Improved
Easier review. Review issues are clickable and take you to the field that needs attention; missing pricing choices and seller conflicts now have a direct way to resolve them.
Clearer Smart Start journey. Describe, Review, and Edit & export now read as one connected task from source text to editable invoice.
Cleaner signed-in editor header. Account, market, document, and export controls are organized more clearly across desktop and mobile.
Good to know
Scanned and image-only PDFs are not supported in this release. PDF import requires readable text in the file; screenshots, photos, and scanned PDFs are not included yet.
Review AI-extracted details. Confirm identities, quantities, prices, tax treatment, totals, dates, and payment instructions before creating the draft.
Account deletion does not remove separate copies. Documents saved on your device or in your connected storage remain separate from the InvoiceCraftly account.
Company lookup now covers Sweden, and VIES VAT checks are live
New
Sweden company lookup. Enter a Swedish organisationsnummer, review public company details from Bolagsverket, then start a Swedish invoice with the selected customer details filled in.
Four company-lookup markets. Company Lookup now covers Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden with country-specific sources and terminology.
VIES VAT number checker. Check a supported EU or Northern Ireland VAT number against the European Commission VIES service and see whether the result is valid, invalid, or temporarily unavailable.
Improved
Less retyping after company lookup. Reviewed company results can fill customer name and address details before you continue to the invoice.
Good to know
Company lookup and VIES checks answer specific public-record questions. Review the customer, VAT treatment, and invoice details that apply to your transaction before sending.
New VAT, payment-reference, IBAN, XML, and EHF tools
New
VAT, project-price, and IBAN tools. Add or extract VAT using a rate you provide, calculate selling price and margin for project work, and check IBAN format and checksum before using payment details.
Nordic payment-reference tools. Norway now has a KID validator/generator, Finland has a domestic reference-number validator/generator, and Sweden has an OCR reference validator with selectable control mode.
E-invoice XML viewer. Open supported Peppol/EHF-compatible UBL, OIOUBL, and Finvoice XML files and review the invoice details they contain.
Norway EHF tools. Check EHF 2027 readiness and review whether public Peppol information indicates that a recipient can receive the relevant document type.
Improved
Better local tool discovery. Country tool pages now surface utilities that match local payment and e-invoicing tasks.
Good to know
XML viewing is not full compliance validation. Review the file against the rules that apply to your e-invoice workflow.
Recipient checks do not send e-invoices. They can help with preparation, but delivery still happens through your chosen e-invoicing service or network.
Postal addresses are now split into clearer fields
Improved
Separate address fields. Street or premises lines are now separate from postal code, city, region, and country, making seller and customer addresses easier to enter and review.
Better company-lookup autofill. Public company results can fill postal code, city, and country into the matching customer fields while keeping everything editable.
Clearer address review. City and country information no longer needs to be interpreted from one free-form address block.
Good to know
Review imported address details. Confirm the billing address and country information before sending the document.
Open the invoice editor to use the separate address fields.
Public company lookup in a third market
CVR lookup is now available for Danish invoices
New
Denmark CVR lookup. Enter an 8-digit CVR number, review public company identity and address data from Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister through Datafordeleren, then start a Danish invoice with the selected customer details filled in.
Three company-lookup markets. Company Lookup now covers Norway, Finland, and Denmark with country-specific sources and terminology.
Good to know
CVR number search only. Enter the company's CVR number; company-name search was not included in this release.
Advertising protection is shown when available. CVR's Reklamebeskyttelse marker is not copied into the invoice, and the lookup is not intended for unsolicited marketing.
Norway is live, Invoice Capture is on Microsoft Edge, and market switching is easier
New
Norway experience. InvoiceCraftly now supports Norwegian Bokmål with NOK defaults, Norway-specific business and VAT fields, invoice-number continuity safeguards, and local invoicing guidance.
Invoice Capture for Microsoft Edge. Version 1.0.1 is available from Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Select work details on a page, review the text you chose, then open it in InvoiceCraftly as an invoice, quote, or estimate.
Market switcher. Move more clearly between the international, Denmark, and Norway experiences from local pages and editors.
Improved
Document language now carries through. Changing the document language updates invoice labels in the preview and supported visual exports.
More natural Danish and Norwegian editing. Local editor labels, business fields, and mobile presentation now feel more consistent with each market.
Simpler site footer. The footer now uses a shorter product, resources, and company structure.
Good to know
Chrome was not yet released on this date. Invoice Capture was available from Microsoft Edge Add-ons; the Chrome Web Store version had not been published yet.
Danish pages are now up to date, and selected text can open directly in the editor
Improved
Updated Danish homepage. The Danish homepage now reflects the current InvoiceCraftly experience, navigation, and answers to common questions.
Selected text opens ready for review. Invoice Capture can fill the InvoiceCraftly editor with the work details you selected instead of asking you to type them again.
Better editing beside the extension. The editor remains usable at the narrower width created when the browser extension panel is open.
Good to know
You choose what Invoice Capture uses. It works from text you explicitly select on the page.
New invoice guides for designers, developers, and consultants
New
Graphic designer invoice guide. Start with example line items for identity work, interface design, revision rounds, and licensing-related charges.
Freelance developer invoice guide. Review example billing for development milestones, code review, integrations, maintenance, and change requests.
Consultant invoice guide. Start with examples for discovery sessions, advisory time, retainers, workshops, and reimbursable expenses.
Improved
Better mobile editing. Profession templates open full screen on smaller devices, while larger screens can use the editor directly within the guide.
Clearer profession-specific advice. Each guide explains billing choices that are relevant to that type of work rather than repeating generic invoice instructions.
Good to know
Examples are fictional. Replace names, amounts, dates, tax settings, payment details, and terms before sending a document.
A clearer place to begin. A short first-use prompt points a new blank invoice toward business details while the preview updates as you edit.
Clearer save guidance. After a meaningful edit, InvoiceCraftly explains that the document is saved on this device.
More familiar editor language. Business details, client details, examples, designs, backups, payment instructions, and final review now have clearer labels.
Clearer payment choices. Payment-page, contact, and SEPA transfer options now explain what the recipient can do.
Good to know
No account is required to create an invoice. The main action still opens a blank invoice directly.
InvoiceCraftly does not process payments. It can add payment instructions, but it does not receive, confirm, or track payment.
More useful invoice guidance and photography examples
Improved
Clearer starting points. The homepage, invoice guide, photographer template, and tools now point more directly to the action that matches the task.
More useful photography guidance. The photographer example separates production, retouching, and usage licensing with fictional details that can be reviewed before editing.
Clearer product explanations. Account requirements, saved documents, exports, QR options, payments, and wording help are now explained more consistently.
QR, CSV, and sharing choices are easier to understand
Improved
Clearer optional QR guidance. Payment QR codes are explained as optional and appear only when enabled in supported visual exports.
Clearer export choices. PDF, PNG, and SVG are finished document formats, while CSV is separate line-item data for spreadsheets.
Photography next steps. The photographer template now links to related creative templates, QR guidance, the readiness checklist, and document-format help.
Better sharing previews. Public pages now provide more consistent titles, descriptions, and preview images when shared.
More useful tools and clearer choices after export
New
QR code generator. Create and download a QR code for an HTTPS link, contact card, email draft, phone number, or plain text.
Invoice number planner. Preview a prefix, optional year, separator, and padded sequence without reserving a number.
Post-export choices. After PDF, PNG, or SVG export, create the next blank document, keep editing, or remove the editable copy from this device.
Improved
Easier tool discovery. The Tools page and Guide provide clearer paths between planning, review, and invoice creation.
Cleaner next-document flow. A new document does not carry forward the previous client or transaction details.
Clearer document status. History distinguishes drafts, exported documents, and documents changed after export.
Good to know
Removing the editable copy does not remove exported files. PDF, PNG, SVG, or other copies saved elsewhere remain unchanged.
Browse the invoice tools; no account is required to use the core invoice workflow.
Guidance, templates, and writing help
Due-date tools, readiness checks, wording help, and more templates
New
Invoice due-date calculator. Turn an issue date and common payment term into a clear calendar due date.
Invoice readiness checklist. Build a focused pre-send review for invoices, quotes, estimates, receipts, or credit notes.
Professional wording assistant. Create line-item wording, review the suggestion, and decide whether to apply, replace, or append it.
Expanded template catalog. Seventeen fictional starting points now cover invoices, quotes, estimates, receipts, and credit notes across more professions.
Improved
Checklist opens the right document type. The readiness checklist opens the editor with the invoice, quote, estimate, receipt, or credit note you selected.
Clearer page location. Document types, tools, use cases, and templates provide consistent breadcrumb navigation.
Good to know
Due dates use calendar days. The calculator does not adjust for weekends, holidays, business-day rules, contracts, or statutory periods.
Template data is fictional. Replace and verify identities, tax choices, dates, amounts, payment destinations, and QR content.
Review wording suggestions. Check that suggested descriptions accurately reflect the work you are billing for.
Workspace, Danish support, and clearer product information
More ways to continue your work and start in Danish
New
Danish starting point. Use Danish document terminology, DKK, Danish date and number formatting, and common Danish business and bank fields.
Recent documents. Continue, duplicate, delete and restore a document saved on this device, or clear the list after confirmation.
Reusable business defaults. New documents can reuse seller details, branding, logo, currency, locale, and payment preferences without copying client details.
Document-format guidance. Quote, Estimate, Receipt, and Credit Note pages explain when each format may be useful and what to review.
Contact, feedback, and partnership pages. Ask questions, report concerns, suggest improvements, or discuss focused partnerships.
About, Security, Privacy, and Changelog pages. Find clearer information about who operates InvoiceCraftly, how the product works, and its main limitations.
Improved
More complete backups. Workspace backups include referenced logos, and a failed import leaves the current workspace unchanged.
Cleaner invoice creation. Blank untouched drafts no longer fill the recent-documents list.
Clearer recovery guidance. InvoiceCraftly now explains that documents saved only on this device cannot be recovered from another device unless you create a backup.
More direct examples. Template links open the intended gallery or finished example more reliably.
Fixed
Calmer editor layout. Fixed preview flashes, duplicate scrolling and controls, toolbar movement, header overlap, and a misleading manual-save indicator.
Good to know
Danish fields help with entry and formatting. Review registrations, VAT treatment, and e-invoice requirements that apply to your transaction.
