Manufacturing and processing: Invoicing software for candle manufacturers
Invoicing software for candle manufacturers: delivered sets, labelling work and sample costs from the order land on an invoice the customer recognises line by line and that goes out with a payment link.
Where invoices stall for candle manufacturers.
Invoices at candle manufacturers look simple but often diverge from the quote. A shop ordered a set of three fragrances, but one scent was delivered later. A private label client pays separately for applying their own labels and for an extra sample round agreed halfway through. Sometimes part of a run is rejected and never ships. Whoever prepares the invoice pieces it together from packing slips, emails and the quote, and easily forgets the labelling work or an extra sample. A client who does not recognise a line asks for a credit note and payment slips.

Gather deliveries and extra work
The software puts with the order what was actually delivered: sets and single candles per packing slip, with scent and packaging. Alongside it sits the extra work that was recorded, such as hand labelling, an extra sample round or repacking into customer boxes. Each line refers to the packing slip or job card it came from.
Review differences with the quote
The delivered quantities sit next to the quote and differences are marked, such as a part delivery, a back order still to come or work that was not in the quote. Someone in the sales office decides per difference whether it is invoiced now, follows later or needs discussing with the customer first.
Send invoice with payment link
After review, the invoice with lines, descriptions and references goes to the customer with a payment link. Reminders go out automatically and the payment status sits with the order. The customer sees per line which delivery or work it concerns, so a question is quickly answered with the packing slip at hand.
Invoicing from the same software.
Candle manufacturers often still invoice trade orders by hand from an accounting package, while the web shop settles consumer orders itself. Those web shop invoices stay as they are. For trade and private label orders, packing slips, job cards and quote sit here in the same software, so the invoice follows from what was delivered and done. The sales office owns the review, the finance team the final invoice. The bookkeeper can look along or receive an export.
Invoice per delivery or per order
Invoicing each delivery makes part shipments visible straight away and brings payment forward, but means more invoices for the client. Invoicing once the full order is complete is tidier but leaves money outstanding for longer. For seasonal collections delivered in stages, many candle makers invoice per delivery with a reference to the order.
Labelling in the unit price or separate
Folding labelling into the unit price keeps the invoice simple, but hides the work when a client later wants to supply their own labels or changes the box. A separate line shows what it costs and makes changes easier to discuss. The right choice depends on how often clients alter their packaging.
Drop rejects or repour them
If part of a run is rejected, you can leave the missing candles off the invoice or pour them in a later batch and deliver afterwards. Repouring keeps the agreement with the customer intact but needs an open line that must not be forgotten. The software supports both routes and shows outstanding back orders.

Read the storyWhat we set up for your invoicing.
For trade orders, invoicing is ready at the start: deliveries per packing slip and extra work per job card, compared with the quote, sent with a payment link and followed up with reminders. Together we walk through a simple shop order and a more complex case: a private label order with a part delivery and an extra sample round. Recurring orders and handling back orders after rejects you switch on once the first invoices are right.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan we invoice a mixed fragrance set as a single line?
Yes. A set is recorded as a product with its components. On the invoice the set appears as a single line, while internally you can still see which scents were delivered. If a component follows later, the software marks the set as partly delivered, so you choose how to invoice.
Is the invoice sent to the client automatically?
No. The software prepares the invoice, someone in the sales office or accounts checks it and sends it with a payment link. That keeps a human check on differences, while retyping deliveries and extra work disappears and reminders run by themselves afterwards.
How do we record extra work that was agreed verbally?
Extra work is noted on the job card or order with a short description and the name of whoever agreed it. On the invoice being prepared it appears as a line that needs review. That way an extra labelling round is not lost because it only came up in a phone call.
Should consumer orders from the webshop go through this too?
That is possible but usually unnecessary, because the web shop already settles those orders. Invoicing here mainly pays off for trade orders with own labels, part deliveries and extras. If you still want one overview for the bookkeeper, web shop invoices are shown for information without creating them again.
