About PayPal Invoicing
PayPal Invoicing is a free solution for creating and sending online invoices within a PayPal Business account. The tool allows users to create custom-branded invoice templates, populate billing details, track payments, view billing histories, schedule invoices, create recurring invoices for automated billing, accept partial payments, and more.
With PayPal Invoicing, users can setup custom invoice templates branded with their business logo, contact information, and any custom fields they require. Once created, invoices can be shared with customers via email or through a unique link. Users are automatically notified by PayPal when payments are received, and can send out payment reminders for unpaid balances. Billing can be automated through invoice scheduling and the creation of recurring invoices.
PayPal Invoicing allows users to save taxes, items, and customer contact information to streamline invoice creation. Payments received by check can be recorded, and users are automatically notified if any invoice is undeliverable. Additionally, customers can make partial payments and even add tips to their payments. The PayPal Invoicing APIs also allow users to create custom billing apps for their business.

Creating and managing bills is more controllable and easier

It's very convenient to use Paypal Invoicing, my invoice payment schedule is more organized and controlled. And another advantage is that Paypal often gives me a reward claim of $ 5 for free.
Pros
I've had a PayPal account for a long time and have used the Paypal Invoicing facility since 2009, long story short, I accidentally got a job contract with a modeling agency from Australia. I can still work from home and suggested to them to allow me to use the Paypal Invoicing facility as a term payment method. And it got a positive reception from their side. Our contract runs for approximately one year and thanks to Paypal Invoicing, I can see the progress of my earnings every month, control new and overdue Invoices, and remind them back.
Cons
For new account registration, the verification takes quite a long time, maybe it can be said that it is reasonable because Paypal prioritizes the security and authenticity of the data for each customer. And to achieve Unlimited transactions takes quite a long time. Usually, the provisions for new accounts will definitely get a transaction limit.

The customization of invoices is great. When I train clients back to back, I can just select a template that I did, type their name and their info populates for me. Just hit send and you're done!
Cons
I have no complaints. It's easy to use, and I get my money with no issues.

Simple Invoicing With a Lot of Busy Work

I used PayPal invoicing when I got started with my online business, but I quickly realized I needed to scale up to something different. After a year of dreading my invoicing solution, I moved on and set up something that works better for me.
Pros
PayPal's invoicing feature is free, so that puts it ahead of most of the competition on the market. But it also offers a pretty simple system that doesn't mesh well with complex operations with lots of products on offer. Retyping invoice items quickly becomes tiresome.
Cons
There are no customization options, no backend to add frequently added items to your invoices. For example, selling candles online in 4oz, 8oz, 12 oz, get ready to add each item by hand instead of being able to select those values and customize as needed for that invoice.

PayPal Invoicing has provided me a very good experience over several years. I sell high dollar, luxury items and use this to set up custom financing for clients. Never lost a dime using this method.
Pros
Straightforward and easily customized, PayPal invoicing allows me to quickly create and email an invoice to a client. They have the option to pay directly thru their credit card, or using their PP account, and that choice is clearly shown. I can select to let them make a partial payment, determine the minimum amount of that payment... lots of flexibility. I can send the invoice from my own email, or let PP send it--or both.
Cons
No integration problems, but I don't let the software do anything automatically (such as auto-billing monthly statements) because it seems the platform is constantly being tweaked and I don't trust that for auto-financial notices.
