A small business guide to shipping, invoicing and getting paid
How to join up shipping, invoicing and payments so your small business runs smoothly and gets paid faster.
For a small business, the magic happens when shipping, invoicing and payments work as one process instead of three disconnected tasks. This guide shows how to join them up so you fulfil faster and get paid sooner.
When shipping, invoicing and payments work as one process, nothing slips through the gaps between tools. An order that ships also gets invoiced, and an invoice that falls due also gets chased, so your small team runs with the discipline of a much larger one.
Map your order to cash journey
- Receive and confirm the order.
- Quote and book the shipment.
- Send a clear invoice with a payment link.
- Track delivery and follow up if payment is late.
Remove the manual handoffs
Every time you copy details between tools, you risk an error and lose time. Keeping shipping, invoicing and payments in one platform removes those handoffs and keeps your records consistent.
How Pigee ties it together
With Pigee you can quote and ship an order, raise an invoice, take payment through Stripe and follow up automatically, all from one account. That joined up flow is what lets a small team run like a much bigger one.
