What’s the difference between an invoice and a payment?
An invoice is the bill that you send to your customer detailing how much they owe for the products or services they received. A payment is when the customer actually gives you the money they owe for the invoice. So, an invoice asks for money, and a payment is the money given. Learn more about invoice and payment terms with our guide.
What is the difference between a bill and an invoice in QuickBooks?
An invoice is the payment request that you send to a customer when they buy something. It shows what was bought, the price, and when the customer needs to pay. A bill, on the other hand, is a payment request you receive from a supplier or vendor for things you bought or services you used. It shows what was bought, the price, and when you need to pay.
