Question 1

Is the invoice generator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every signed-in Trade Caravan account can generate 5 invoices or quotations per calendar month at no cost. Pro and Pro+ plans have no monthly limit. Editing or re-downloading a document you already created never counts against the limit.

Question 2

What must a South African tax invoice contain?

Accepted Answer

For a valid tax invoice over R5 000, SARS requires the words “tax invoice”, the supplier’s name, address and VAT registration number, the recipient’s details, an invoice number and date, a description and quantity of the goods or services, and the VAT amount or a statement that VAT is included. This generator includes dedicated fields for all of these — fill in your VAT number in your company profile.

Question 3

Can I add my company logo and banking details?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Save your company profile once — name, logo, registration and VAT numbers, address and banking details — and every invoice and quotation you generate is automatically branded with them.

Question 4

What is the difference between an invoice and a quotation?

Accepted Answer

A quotation is a priced offer that is valid until a stated date and creates no obligation to pay; an invoice requests payment for goods or services supplied. This tool generates both — switch the document type and the layout, wording and numbering (INV vs QUO) adjust automatically.
