Frequently asked questions
How do I invoice for a wedding photography booking?
Send a booking invoice with a 30–50% retainer up front, then a final invoice for the balance once galleries are delivered. Both should reference the same contract and invoice number series.
Should photographers charge sales tax?
In most US states, tangible prints and even digital images are taxable. Check your state's Department of Revenue — you can toggle a custom tax label like 'Sales tax 8%' in Invoxa.
What's a fair payment term for photo shoots?
Net 7 to Net 14 after gallery delivery is standard for events. For commercial shoots, Net 30 is more common.
