Managing your Clients and Items libraries
Two lightweight libraries drive most of the speed in Billune — Clients (people/companies you invoice) and Items (services or products you sell). Save each once, reuse everywhere.
- 01
Add your first client
Sidebar → Clients → + New client. Fill in name (required) plus email, company, phone, address, country, and tax ID. Tax ID gets rendered on the invoice PDF automatically for VAT/GST jurisdictions.
- 02
Add reusable services (Items)
Sidebar → Items → + New item. Give it a name (e.g. "Senior consulting hour"), description, unit price, currency, and a unit label ("hour", "month", "day"). Perfect for retainers or fixed-scope deliverables.
- 03
Use them in an invoice
In the builder, the Client dropdown lists everyone you've saved — one click fills the whole snapshot. Next to line items, the From library dropdown adds any saved item as a new line, pricing filled in.
- 04
Bulk-import from other tools
In Settings, use Bulk Import to upload a CSV or XLSX exported from Xero, Wave, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or HubSpot. Column headers auto-map — you don't have to reshape the file.
- 05
Bulk export for backup
The same page has Export all clients / items as a single XLSX file — useful before you make major edits, or to hand off to your accountant.
