What Is a Courier Invoice Used For?

As a courier, invoicing is probably not on the forefront of your mind until you need to get paid. You may be wondering what good an invoice can do for your business and how to go about creating one.

Using invoices for your courier business can make a world of difference for your Courier Management and Accounting. An invoice is primarily used to collect payments from your clients, but a well-designed invoice has many other benefits.

Plus these templates are great for couriers in North America, the UK and beyond. Here are some reasons why you should use a courier invoice.
