How to Add Shipping Charges to an Invoice

Shipping charges are added directly from the Edit menu on any invoice, quote, sales order, or cash sale. You can pick an existing shipping method or create a new one on the spot.

Steps

  1. Open the invoice you want to add shipping to.

  2. Tap the Edit icon (pencil) in the action bar, then tap Add Shipping — a bottom sheet appears showing your available shipping methods.

  3. Pick an existing method from the Available Methods list, or tap New Shipping Method at the bottom of the sheet to create one.

  4. If creating a new method, fill in Shipping Method Name (e.g., "Fedex") and Rate — both are required — plus an optional Description. Tap Save.

  5. The shipping charge appears as a line item on the invoice, and the Shipping total in the summary updates immediately.

Editing or Adding More Shipping

Tap the Edit icon > Add Shipping again to reopen the sheet. Methods already on the invoice appear under On This Invoice — tap one to edit its rate or description. Other methods appear under Available Methods.

Good to Know

  • Reusable methods. Any shipping method you create is saved to your items list and available on future transactions.
  • Works everywhere. Shipping is available on invoices, quotes, sales orders, and cash sales.
  • Taxing shipping. A method created from this sheet starts out non-taxable. To tax it, open it from your Items list and set Taxable? to Yes — it is then included when you use Edit > Apply tax.
  • Variable rates. Set the default rate to 0 when you create the method, then type the actual amount each time you pick it. The rate you type applies to that transaction only — the method's default stays as it is.
