“Literally the most amazing invoicing app ever. You can customize your invoice with your logo and different colours. It notifies you when clients view your invoice and you can send a receipt through the app instead of sending one manually. I can go on and on but basically this app is so worth it and the invoices look so professional.”

"As a freelancer who wanted to professionalize without incurring new expenses, Wave was the solution I was looking for. Prior to Wave, I was using extremely simple invoice templates that communicated to clients that I didn't have a wealth of freelance experience. Professionalizing via products like Wave can ultimately result in increasing your perceived value to clients and being able to increase your rates."

“Wow! Wave literally just exceeded my expectations. Less than 30 minutes to setup. Not only that, I also intentionally used a more difficult bank of mine to see. It grabbed the routing number and immediately declared it knew the bank and proceed. Verified my identity quickly which definitely made me feel safe and boom! In business.”

"Wave definitely saves me anywhere from one to two hours a week. The invoice tracking is excellent and the reporting for year end is super helpful. I can just run off a couple of reports and send them to my accountant—it’s a three button process at the end of the year."

Mike Reisacher, Film Editor

1 Payouts are processed in 1-2 business days for credit card payments and 1-7 business days for bank payments. Deposit times may vary due to processing cutoff times, third party delays, or risk reviews. 

​​A few notes about accepting online payments through Wave: 

Approval is subject to eligibility criteria, including identity verification and credit review. Payments are a pay-per-use feature; no monthly fees here! Your deposit times may vary based on your financial institution. All payments are subject to a risk review and periodic credit risk assessments are done on business owners because we need to cover our butts (and yours). In some cases, we may hold funds and request more information if we need it for the protection of your business and Wave's. 

Instant Payout is an additional service offered by Wave subject to user and payment eligibility criteria. A 1% fee is applied to the amount you withdraw from your available balance, in addition to regular processing fees. The minimum withdrawal amount is $25. Deposits are sent to the debit card linked to your account in up to 30 minutes. Deposit times may vary due to processing cutoff times or third party delays.

Even more ways to get paid: Bank payments

Make it easier for your customers to pay you through a Wave invoice, right from their bank accounts. Wave's online payments feature lets you accept bank payments, quickly and easily.
