Invoice guides
The rules around the invoice, not just the template.
Use these when the question is not just how the invoice should look, but what it needs to say for a cross-border payment, a provider review, or a client finance team.
Guide
When a client pays through Airwallex, the invoice is doing more than asking for money. It is often the supporting document their finance team or the provider needs before the payment is released, so missing beneficiary details or a vague service line is how the transfer gets slowed down.
Guide
These two lines do different jobs and should never be merged. VAT is added to the sale as a consumption tax. Withholding tax is deducted from what the client pays you and remitted to the tax authority on your behalf. If the invoice treats them as the same thing, the amount due becomes hard to trust.
Guide
A cross-border invoice has to travel through more checks than a domestic one. The client may be paying through a global account, a bank wire, or an internal finance team that needs the document to double as proof of what was supplied and where the money should go.
Guide
These documents look similar, but they do different jobs. A proforma invoice is issued before the sale or shipment is final. A commercial invoice is the document that travels with goods once the sale is real and customs needs to classify and value what is moving.
