New To CLIPitc?

The information in this article will help you understand how CLIPitc works and how to set it up properly. It will also help you understand how to use the program daily.

To begin, do you use QuickBooks (either QuickBooks Online or an office-based version of QuickBooks)?

If "No," the billing inside CLIPitc will allow you to create invoices and statements.

**A word about billing from CLIPitc without QuickBooks. CLIPitc billing has invoice numbers but it does not allow you to apply a payment to a specific invoice; it is applied to the oldest balance for that customer. If you need to apply a payment to offset a specific invoice number, then you will want to obtain and bill out of QuickBooks. **

To begin building your client base, you can add customers manually and individually, or import from an Excel spreadsheet.

If you answered "Yes" to the previous question about having QuickBooks, you can import customers from QuickBooks.
