=== Billy === Contributors: them.es Donate link: https://them.es/plugins/billy Tags: accounting, billing, invoices, quotes Requires at least: 5.2 Tested up to: 5.6 Stable tag: 1.2.2 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Requires PHP: 7.2 A business-oriented billing suite—tailored for freelancers and small agencies. == Description == Preparing invoices and quotes can be time consuming. This plugin helps you speed-up your billing process, from creating invoices or quotes, minimizing any potential errors to getting paid faster. Create an electronic invoice, a quote or accounting records in just a matter of minutes with the block-based WordPress editor. Invoice numbers are generated automatically in unique and sequential order. For convenience reasons the totals of the table rows are calculated in _What You See Is What You Get_ real-time. Global settings like your name, your address, the invoice number format, tax rates and the currency can be defined in the Customizer. The billing header can be branded with your logo. Any frontend styles will be inherited from the theme so you please make sure the theme you've installed on your site fully supports the Block editor. = Target group? = * Freelancers and small agencies that need a billing suite which integrates seamlessly into their existing WordPress environment. = Compatible themes? = The plugin should work with any modern WordPress theme that supports the Block editor. Minor style modifications in the theme may be required. __Heads up:__ Please note that the main content area of the __Single/Custom Post Template__ of your theme needs to be setup in "fullwidth" format. Having a sidebar may narrow the (invoice) table layout too much.
