How to Send an Invoice by Text Message

When sending an invoice by text message, you have a few options:

Use Your Cell Phone

The simplest and most time consuming is to use your cell phone. If you’re using Android, here is how to transfer files between your Android device and your computer.

On an iPhone, it’s not too different. 

Once you have the file on your phone, simply navigate to the contact you wish to send the invoice to, and attach the PDF file to the text message.

While this is a relatively simple process for sending one invoice, it gets very complicated very quickly for sending multiple invoices.

Businesses handling a larger volume of invoices may also use invoice matching software to automatically compare invoice details with purchase orders and other records, reducing the amount of manual processing required.

Use a Business Texting Service

Another option you have is to use an online texting service. To send an invoice by SMS, log into your Texting.io account and navigate to the Subscriber tab:

If you haven’t already, add the subscriber you would like to send the invoice to.

Once you have a subscriber, you have 2 options: You can go into the list “All Subscribers” or go into the list you added your chosen subscriber to.

Whatever you decide, you will end up on a screen that looks like this:

Select the .pdf file of your invoice and write out the text message that you would like them to receive.

And that’s it! Your invoice has been sent to the chosen subscriber.

Using our simple dashboard, you can send as many invoices as you need and seemlessly attach PDF files to your text messages.
