What is Pludor Quick Invoices and who is it for?

It's built for freelancers, service businesses and custom-order sellers. It's on for every Pludor store, including the Free plan.

How much does Pludor Quick Invoices cost?

It's included on every store, including the Free plan, with a free amount every month - after that you only pay for what you use, at 1 credit = 1 cent. Pludor also charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, deducted before payout; card processing via Stripe is charged separately by the processor.

How do I create an invoice without signing up for anything?

Use a free invoice generator tool - Pludor offers one that's free and instant with no account required. You fill in who the invoice is for and what they owe, and get a clean invoice to send. If you later want the client to pay online by card, you'd need a store with checkout, which you can create free at pludor.com/setup.

How do I accept card and wallet payments from a one-off client?

Connect a payment processor to your store and send the client a checkout link. On Pludor, you connect Stripe in Settings, confirm your store currency and country, then create a Quick Invoice and share the link - the client can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or wallet. Take a test order on yourself first to see the full checkout and confirmation email.

Pludor Quick Invoices vs Stripe Payment Links or PayPal - what's the difference?

Standalone tools like Stripe Payment Links, PayPal or Square typically keep links, invoices and QR payments in separate tools with separate dashboards. On Pludor, one checkout powers online, QR and invoice payments, all sharing a single order history and payout view. Buyers can also use Pludor wallet balance, cashback and gift cards at checkout, and you see fees, payouts, W-9 and 1099 info in the finance view.

Can I take in-person payments from an invoice?

Yes - download a QR pay code and let the customer scan it at checkout. On Pludor you can download product or store QR codes from your dashboard, and the payment flows through the same checkout as your online and invoice payments. You can review each payment, the fee deducted and your payouts in the Finance view.

Is Pludor Quick Invoices safe and legit for getting paid?

Payments run through Stripe, a standard payment processor, and Pludor shows you each payment, the fee deducted and your payouts in a Finance view. Your store, checkout and orders never switch off for lack of credit. As with any payment tool, place a small test order on yourself first to confirm the full checkout and confirmation email work.
