Invoicing

Send the invoice.
Hold the seats. Get paid.

Your biggest orders rarely fit a checkout button. Tables, sponsorships, group blocks, and corporate buyers who have to pay their own way. Email them a real invoice with a secure payment link, hold their seats until the deadline you set, and collect straight into your own account.

    Why it matters

    Not every buyer can just click Buy Now

    A sponsor commits by email. A company needs a due date and a document for their books. A family reserves a table over the phone. Those orders are usually the largest ones you take, and asking for a credit card on the spot is how you lose them.

    The ask

    Put the yes in writing

    The deal is done in a conversation. The invoice is what makes it real for both sides.

    • Build the exact order yourself
    • Add a note so they know what it covers
    • Send a document their finance team accepts
    The wait

    Hold the seats, not your breath

    Between the yes and the payment, the inventory stays theirs and the clock does the nagging.

    • A payment deadline you choose
    • Resend the link without starting over
    • Unpaid invoices expire and free the seats
    The payment

    One click closes it out

    They pay on a secure page and everything downstream takes care of itself.

    • Tickets and QR codes go out automatically
    • The order lands on your guest list
    • Revenue deposits with Direct Payouts
    Sending an invoice

    Bill anything you can sell

    Build the order the way the buyer wants it, then email an invoice instead of asking for a card. It takes about a minute from your event dashboard.

    Any order, any ticket type

    Tables, sponsorships, group blocks, add-ons, reserved seats, plain tickets. If you can sell it, you can invoice it.

    A deadline you choose

    Give the buyer 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days to pay. 48 hours is the default.

    A message in your own words

    Add a short note for the buyer. It opens the invoice email and prints as the memo on the Stripe invoice and PDF.

    A real Stripe invoice

    Buyers get a hosted invoice page and a downloadable PDF, stamped with your order number and event name.

    A secure payment link

    The email carries a link straight to payment. Nothing for the buyer to install, no account to create.

    Seats held while they pay

    Reserved seats and ticket inventory stay held for that buyer for as long as the invoice is open.

    Staying on top of it

    Know exactly who still owes you

    Every invoice you send is tracked on the order and surfaced on your dashboard, so nothing quietly goes unpaid.

    Outstanding invoices, front and center

    A banner above Recent Orders counts what is still unpaid, with a Manage Invoices view to work through the list.

    Resend in one click

    Email the same invoice again when it gets buried in an inbox. The buyer keeps the link they already have.

    Give them a new deadline

    Send New Invoice emails the buyer again with a fresh payment deadline and an updated message. The invoice itself, and the amount on it, stay the same.

    Status on every order

    See at a glance whether an invoice is draft, sent, paid, expired, or void, and when payment is due.

    Unpaid invoices expire on their own

    When the deadline passes, the order cancels itself and the seats go back on sale. No cleanup for you.

    Cancel and release

    Plans changed? Cancel the invoice and the reserved seats return to inventory right away.

    Who invoices most

    Built for the orders worth chasing

    If a single order is worth more than a night of individual ticket sales, it deserves an invoice instead of a checkout form.

    Galas and table sales

    Reserve Table 4 for a sponsor, invoice the company, and keep the seats held until it is paid.

    Sponsorships

    Bill sponsorship packages the way sponsors expect to be billed, with a memo, a due date, and a PDF.

    Corporate buyers

    Companies that cannot put an event on a personal card get an invoice their accounting team can process.

    Group and block sales

    Teams, families, and departments taking 20 seats at once, settled in a single payment.

    Schools and PTAs

    Invoice a booster club or a department instead of chasing twenty parents for twenty payments.

    Nonprofits

    Give donors and sponsors the paper trail they need without leaving your ticketing platform.

    Conferences

    Team registrations and exhibitor packages that need a due date instead of a card at checkout.

    Vendors and exhibitors

    Bill booth fees up front and hold the space until the invoice is paid.

    Fundraising nights

    Lock in table sales and sponsor commitments long before the room fills.

    The Ticket Falcon difference

    An invoice that does the follow-up for you

    Invoicing is not a separate product or a paid add-on. It is one option on the same order screen you already use, wired into the same payouts, tickets, and reports.

    A real Stripe invoice

    A hosted invoice page and a PDF, stamped with your order number and event.

    Seats stay held

    Inventory is reserved for that buyer for as long as the invoice is open.

    Deadlines enforce themselves

    Unpaid invoices cancel on time and put the seats back on sale for you.

    Paid with Direct Payouts

    Invoice money lands in the Stripe account you own, never a platform wallet.

    For organizers

    Invoiced in four steps

    Step 1

    Build the order

    Open Add Attendees or Send Invoice on your event dashboard and pick the tickets, tables, and quantities.

    Step 2

    Set the terms

    Choose how long they have to pay and add a short message. The deadline becomes the due date on the invoice.

    Step 3

    Send it

    We create the Stripe invoice and email the buyer a secure payment link. Their seats are held from that moment.

    Step 4

    Get paid

    They pay, tickets go out on their own, and the revenue deposits to your account on the usual rolling schedule.

    Questions

    Invoicing, answered

    What can I send an invoice for?
    Any order you can build: tables, sponsorships, group blocks, add-ons, reserved seats, and regular tickets. You create the order from your event dashboard, choose "Email invoice for payment", and the buyer gets a secure payment link instead of a checkout form.
    How long does the buyer have to pay?
    You decide when you send it: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. 48 hours is the default. Whatever you pick becomes the due date printed on the invoice.
    Are the seats held while the invoice is unpaid?
    Yes. The order is created right away, so reserved seats and ticket inventory stay held for that buyer until the invoice is paid or the deadline passes. No one else can buy the table out from under your sponsor.
    What happens if they never pay?
    The order cancels itself once the deadline passes and the seats go straight back on sale. You can also cancel an invoice yourself at any time and release the inventory immediately.
    Can I add a note to the invoice?
    Yes. A short message of up to 500 characters opens the invoice email and prints as the memo on the Stripe invoice and PDF, so the buyer reads the same context wherever they open it.
    Can I resend or change an invoice?
    Both. Resend Invoice emails the same invoice again for a buyer who lost it. Send New Invoice replaces it with a fresh one when the amount, the deadline, or your message needs to change.
    How does the buyer actually pay?
    On a secure Stripe invoice page linked from their email, with a PDF they can download for their records. The payment settles into your own Stripe account, exactly like a regular checkout.
    Can buyers request an invoice themselves?
    Yes, once Pay by Invoice is on for your account. Ask our team to switch it on. The buyer places the order, their seats are held, and they receive the same secure payment link with the deadline you set in Payment Settings.
    When do I get the money?
    Through Direct Payouts. Invoice payments land in the Stripe account you own and deposit to your bank on a rolling 2-day basis, just like every other sale on the platform.

    Stop chasing checks.

    Send the invoice, hold the seats, and let the payment link do the follow-up for you.
