Features ยท Invoicing

Invoicing software for Canadian small businesses.

Branded invoices in seconds, the right sales tax for the province, reminders that send themselves during business hours, and balances that reconcile as payments come in.

Hakkuu invoices list showing paid, sent and overdue statuses with totals for the month

An invoice takes seconds because everything is already there. Pick the customer, add line items from your inventory or type them, and the subtotal, tax and total fill in as you go. Sequential invoice numbers are assigned for you, so nothing is skipped or reused. Send it by email under your own business name, or download the PDF.

Tax is done by province, not by hand. Hakkuu applies GST, HST, PST or QST based on the province and shows tax as its own line, so your customer sees the subtotal, the tax and the total separately. Every invoice keeps its tax breakdown, which is what your bookkeeper needs at filing time.

Getting paid stops being a chore. Record a payment in full or in part and the balance updates. Set how often you want customers nudged and Hakkuu sends polite reminders until the invoice is paid, and only during working hours, never at two in the morning on a Sunday.

Every invoice has a status you can trust. Draft, sent, viewed, paid, overdue. When a customer opens the email, the status changes. When a payment lands, it changes again. The invoices list shows the whole month at a glance: how many are paid, how many are pending, and the total outstanding.

Statements on demand. A customer with several open invoices gets one statement showing everything they owe, so you are not chasing three emails for three amounts.

Quotes become invoices in one click. An accepted quote carries every line item across, so you never type the same job twice. Invoiced items come off the shelf in inventory automatically.

Invoicing questions

Does Hakkuu handle GST and HST on invoices?

Yes. The rate is chosen by province: GST alone in Alberta and the territories, HST in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, and GST plus PST or QST elsewhere. Tax appears as its own line on the invoice and in the totals. See the rates by province.

Can I brand my invoices?

Yes. Your business name, logo and details appear on every invoice and PDF, and emails go out under your business name rather than a generic sender.

What do automatic reminders actually send?

A short, polite email with the invoice attached and the amount outstanding. You choose how often. Hakkuu waits for your business hours so reminders arrive when a person is reading, not overnight.

Can I record a partial payment?

Yes. Record whatever was paid and the invoice keeps a running balance. A statement shows the customer every open amount in one place.

Is there a limit on invoices?

The Free plan includes 5 invoices and 5 quotes a month. Conto, Libro and Mastro have no monthly cap. See pricing.

What must a Canadian invoice show?

It depends on the amount, and the CRA has specific rules for input tax credits. Our guide walks through them; Hakkuu invoices include everything the rules ask for.
