<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new invoice">
    From the dashboard or the Billing tab, tap **New Invoice**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a customer (optional)">
    Search for an existing customer or add a new one on the spot. You can
    also bill without picking a customer for quick walk-in sales. See [Adding
    a customer](/customer-guide/parties/adding-a-customer).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add products or services">
    Search by name, category, or scan a barcode to add items to the bill.
    See [Adding products/services to a
    bill](/customer-guide/daily-billing/adding-items-to-a-bill).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply discounts and tax">
    Adjust quantity, price, or discount per line, or apply a bill-level
    discount. Tax is calculated automatically based on your product and
    customer tax settings. See [Applying discounts &
    tax](/customer-guide/daily-billing/discounts-and-tax).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Take payment">
    Choose cash, credit, or split the payment across methods. See [Taking
    payment](/customer-guide/daily-billing/taking-payment).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Print or share the bill">
    Print to a receipt/label printer, save as PDF, or share directly with the
    customer. See [Printing & sharing
    bills](/customer-guide/daily-billing/printing-and-sharing).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Every invoice is saved the moment you save it — you can reopen, edit, or
  reprint it later from your invoice list.
