Bill employers by invoice, PO or your own payment link.
Not every employer can pay by card. Set any plan to invoice or purchase order, or point it at a payment page you already use. The job waits, you mark it paid when the money lands, and it goes live at that moment.
Invoices and payment links on Scale · Card checkout on every plan · Kardow takes 0%How an invoice sale works, start to finish.
Six steps, and Kardow does the bookkeeping between them: which orders are waiting, which are late, and which jobs go live when you settle them.
- 1 Set the plan to Invoice or PO When you create a job post, pack or subscription, pick how buyers pay: card, invoice or PO, your own payment link, or free. Turn invoicing on once and write the message buyers see after they order, for example "We will email your invoice within one working day."
- 2 The employer orders without a card They post their job and choose the plan. There is no card form: they see your message, or go straight to your payment link.
- 3 The job waits, and you hear about it The order appears in Payments as Awaiting payment. Add your email addresses in notification settings and you get an email for every new invoice order.
- 4 You send the invoice from your own tool Bill from whatever you already use, such as your accounting software or Stripe invoicing, with your own numbering, PO reference and terms.
- 5 Mark it paid, and the job goes live When the money lands, press Mark paid & publish. The job is published at that moment. If you review posts first, the button reads Mark paid & approve.
- 6 Chase what is late Anything unpaid after 30 days moves to Overdue, oldest first. Export any queue as a spreadsheet for your bookkeeping.

What people ask about invoicing employers.
- Which job board software lets employers pay by invoice?
- Kardow does on its Scale plan: any plan can be sold by invoice or purchase order, or through your own payment link, and card checkout through your own Stripe account works on every plan. Several other platforms offer an invoice option too. We keep a comparison of what each one says on its own site, with sources, at kardow.com/articles/job-board-software-with-invoicing.
- Does Kardow create and send the invoice?
- No. You send the invoice from the tool you already use, with your own numbering and terms. Kardow records the order, holds the job until you mark it paid, tracks what is awaiting payment and overdue, and publishes the job when you settle it.
- Can employers pay against a purchase order?
- Yes. Set the plan to Invoice or PO. The employer orders without paying by card, you put their PO reference on the invoice you send, and you mark the order paid when the money arrives.
- What payment terms does Kardow use?
- You set the terms on your own invoices and in the message buyers see after ordering. In your Payments workspace, an invoice that is still unpaid 30 days after the order moves to Overdue.
- Can I offer card and invoice for the same product?
- Each plan has one way to pay, so create two: a card plan for buyers who check out on the spot and an invoice plan for agencies and finance teams. Both show in the same payments list.
- Which plan includes invoicing?
- Invoices, purchase orders and your own payment links are on the Scale plan, $379 a month or $284 a month billed yearly. Card checkout is on every plan. Kardow takes 0% of what employers pay you on all of them.
- Does it work outside the US?
- Yes. Invoices and your own payment links do not depend on Stripe, so they work in any country and currency you bill in. Card checkout needs a Stripe account in a supported country.
