Free Proforma Invoice Generator
A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill sent before goods are shipped or work is delivered. Buyers use it to arrange payment, import permits or internal approval, and exporters often need one for customs and letters of credit.
It looks like an invoice, but it is clearly marked as a proforma and is not a tax invoice. Prepare it here with your items, tax and shipping, then issue the final invoice from the same data once the order is confirmed.
What a proforma invoice should include
- The words "Proforma Invoice"
- Seller and buyer details
- Item descriptions, quantities, prices and currency
- Shipping or delivery terms
- Validity date
- A note that it is not a tax invoice
