Receive and Manage Payments Easily using Invoice by Vella

Whether you run an online store or a physical store, invoices are a simple way to receive, manage and track payments from your local and international customers.

Investopedia defines an invoice as a document that maintains a record of a transaction between a buyer and seller, such as a paper receipt from a store or online record from an e-tailer.
