Your Invoicing, Now Built Right Into Pool Founder
Pool Founder now runs invoicing natively. As of June 16, native invoicing is the default for every company on the platform. Your invoices, your customer pay page, and your payment records all live inside Pool Founder instead of a separate billing tool bolted onto the side. Payments still process securely behind the scenes. What changed is that the whole experience is now yours to brand, edit, and control from one place.
This is the largest billing upgrade in Pool Founder's history. It brings a branded customer pay page, card and ACH bank payments, downloadable invoice PDFs, refunds, and true in-place editing of unpaid invoices. Here is what shipped.
A Branded Pay Page for Card and Bank Payments
Every invoice now sends customers to a clean, mobile-first pay page carrying your company logo and brand color. Customers can pay with a credit card, debit card, or ACH bank transfer, and the running total updates live as they switch methods. They can also check Save this payment method for future invoices so a saved card or bank account is ready for autopay next time.
If you want, you can pass the card-processing fee through to customers who pay by credit card. Toggle Pass card processing fee to customer on any unpaid invoice. The fee applies only to credit-card payments. Debit cards and ACH bank transfers are always fee-free, and the pay page says so plainly, so nothing is ever added without the customer seeing it first.
Need to hand a customer their link directly? Use View Pay Page on the invoice to open the exact pay-page URL and share it yourself.
Professional Invoice PDFs
Every invoice now generates a branded PDF with your company name, logo, and address at the top, followed by line items, totals, and your invoice footer. Customers get the PDF attached directly to their invoice email, and there is a Download PDF button on both the invoice page in your dashboard and the customer pay page.
The PDF regenerates whenever you edit or void an invoice, so the copy your customer downloads always reflects the current state of the invoice.
Edit, Refund, and Fewer Billing Surprises
Because invoices now live inside Pool Founder, an unpaid invoice is fully editable in place. Click Edit Invoice to change line items, discounts, notes, or the due date, save, and choose whether to email the updated copy. There is no voiding and recreating. Editing everything down to $0 voids the invoice for you. For invoices that have already been paid, Issue Refund sends the money back to the customer and records it against the invoice.
A handful of smaller upgrades shipped alongside the big ones:
- Editable due dates on invoices, plus an editable billing day for monthly bill-ahead jobs.
- An Activity timeline on every invoice showing when it was created, edited, sent, viewed, and paid.
- Clear decline reasons surfaced right on the invoice when a card payment fails, instead of a silent failure.
- A confirmation step before charging a saved card, so you always see the method and total before the charge fires.
- Create-invoice drafts that survive an accidental reload or navigating away, restored right where you left off.

Did the way my customers pay change?
No. Customers still pay by credit card, debit card, or ACH bank transfer from a secure link, or automatically by autopay with a saved method. The difference is that the payment now happens on a pay page carrying your logo and brand color, with a live total and the option to save a payment method for next time.
Can I still edit an invoice after I send it?
Yes. Any unpaid invoice can be edited in place with the Edit Invoice button. Change the line items, discounts, notes, or due date and save, then choose whether to email the customer the updated version. There is no need to void and recreate the invoice.
Can I refund an invoice?
Yes. Open a paid invoice and use Issue Refund. The refund is sent back to the customer's original payment method and recorded on the invoice, and it syncs to QuickBooks automatically if you have QuickBooks connected.
Do customers get a PDF of their invoice?
Yes. Every invoice generates a branded PDF that is attached to the invoice email. You and your customer can also download it anytime with the Download PDF button on the invoice page and on the pay page.
