- The seller’s and buyer’s names and addresses
- The words “proforma invoice”, so it is not mistaken for a final bill
- A proforma number and the date
- Each item with a description, quantity, and unit price
- Tax, shipping, any discount, and the total
- Payment terms and when the goods will ship
A proforma is a preview, not a bill
A proforma invoice states what the final invoice will say, before the sale is complete. Buyers use it to arrange payment, get a deposit approved, or clear customs. It usually is not an accounting record. When the order ships, send a regular invoice with its own number.
Frequently asked questions
Is this proforma invoice generator free?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark, and nothing is stored. It runs in your browser; print the document or choose Save as PDF in the print dialog.
What is a proforma invoice?
A preliminary invoice sent before goods or services are delivered. It shows what the buyer will owe, but it is not a demand for payment on its own.
When do I need a proforma invoice?
Common cases are international shipping, where it may be needed for customs, and orders where the buyer needs something in writing to approve a prepayment or open a letter of credit.
Is a proforma invoice the same as a quote?
Close, but not the same. A quote offers a price. A proforma invoice looks like an invoice and is used to arrange payment or paperwork for a sale that is already agreed.
