Every serious business owner knows that invoicing is important and is more than just collecting payments. It’s also about looking professional and keeping your business organised.

The Bumpa app makes it easy to generate invoices, receipts and shipping slips for customers, and this has transformed how business owners handle daily operations. It saves both time and money by removing the need for pre-printed forms and manual writing, while automatically calculating totals and storing digital copies of every single transaction.

Of course, there’s also the part where business owners can now create a more professional image with consistently formatted documents featuring their logo and company details, which builds trust with customers.

But it doesn’t end there. Invoices or business documents can do much more, and that’s what we’ve done with the Bumpa app.

Welcome to version 2.0 of invoices and shipping slips with two game-changing additions: custom notes and improved shipping slips!

The best part? These new features make your daily business tasks simpler, not more complicated. Let's dive into how these upgrades can make your business operations smoother.

Note: Invoices are for unpaid or partially paid orders, while receipts are for paid orders, and you can bulk-download your shipping slips, invoices and receipts. Also if you have a Bumpa Terminal account, your invoice will carry the account number.

What’s New with Invoices - Custom Notes

Adding a personal touch to your business just got easier with our new custom notes feature. Now, every invoice can carry your unique message, special instructions, or important reminders right where your customers can see them.

The new notes section lets you do more than just list items and prices. You can add specific handling instructions for delicate products, write a warm thank-you message, or include important details about warranties or return policies. Want to remind customers about your upcoming sale? Need to explain special care instructions for a product? The custom notes section is your space to communicate these important details.

Building stronger relationships with customers is all about clear communication, and that's exactly what this feature delivers. When customers receive an invoice with a personalised note thanking them for their third purchase or specific instructions for assembling their new furniture, it shows them you care about their experience beyond just the sale.

How to Use this Feature

Creating custom notes for your invoice is straightforward, and you can create unlimited custom notes!

To do this on the web app:

1. Login to your web app and navigate to Orders.

2. At the top right corner of the screen, click on Invoice Note.

What’s New with Shipping Slips - Scan to View Details

Shipping your products just got smarter and safer.

The new shipping slip design focuses on what matters most - getting your products to customers while keeping order details private.

We noticed a common problem: business owners put full invoices on packages, showing sensitive information like payment details and prices. That's why we redesigned our shipping slips from the ground up. Now, you get a clean, simple document that shows only the essential shipping information.

What makes the new shipping slips special? First, order details are hidden and can only be seen when the barcode is scanned.

Then, the details of the order are displayed.

This means the content of packages stays private as they move from place to place. The slip automatically pulls information from your invoice, so you don't need to write anything twice. Plus, each shipping slip has its tracking number that links directly to the order in your Bumpa account.

How to Use this Feature

Creating a shipping slip is simple. When you make an invoice for an out-of-store order, just click "Download Shipping Slip." The system automatically creates a professional shipping document with only the necessary details showing. No more worrying about sensitive information being visible on packages or dealing with multiple documents.

This upgrade means better security for your customers, less work for you, and smoother deliveries for everyone. It's the same simple Bumpa experience you're used to, just smarter and more secure.

How These Updates Change the Game

Running a business takes a lot of work, and we want to make it easier for you. These updates are designed to do just that!

1. You’ll save more time: No more switching between different apps or writing things by hand. Create invoices, add notes, and make shipping slips all in one place. What used to take 15 minutes now takes just 3 minutes. This means more time to focus on other important parts of your business.

2. Your business will look professional: Every document you send now looks clean and well-organised. When customers receive their invoices with personalised notes and professional shipping slips, it shows them they're dealing with a serious business. This builds trust and makes customers more likely to buy from you again.

3. Your customers will be happier: Happy customers come back more often. With clear shipping slips, custom notes for special instructions, and professional invoices, your customers know exactly what to expect. They can easily track their orders and feel confident about their purchase. Plus, the private shipping details keep their information safe.

4. You’ll be keeping better records: Finding old orders or checking payment details is now super easy. Everything is stored in one place - your invoices, receipts, and shipping information. This makes it simple to check past orders, track your sales, and manage your business better.

Conclusion - Making Your Business Better, One Update at a Time

These new features do more than just create documents - they help you run your business better. With custom notes, you can communicate clearly with customers, and with secure shipping slips, you can deliver products more professionally than ever.
