Match template to client expectations
| Client type | Usually works |
|---|---|
| Corporate AP | Clean, conservative (Classic, Professional) |
| Creative buyers | Modern headers with logo prominence (Aurora, Sleek Sidebar) |
| Retainers | Minimal line density (Minimal Ledger) |
Logo placement tips
- Use a horizontal logo when possible—wide headers crop better.
- Keep contrast high; light logos on light headers disappear in print.
- Export at 2× resolution if you upload PNG—blurry logos scream "draft."
Typography and density
Dense invoices fit more lines but fatigue reviewers. For 1–5 line items, airy templates feel premium. For 15+ lines, choose tables with clear column alignment.
PDF export checklist
- Preview on mobile—many clients approve on phones.
- Check page breaks on long item lists.
- Confirm currency symbol and decimal format match the client country.
When to save a default template
