Full-service installation with no hidden costs
InvoiceNinja is powerful, but German requirements (ZUGFeRD, special layouts) are often tricky. We use the Laravel foundation for customizations beyond the UI.
We integrate invoicing completely invisibly into your app. Your system fires an API call, InvoiceNinja creates, sends, and reminds the invoice fully automatically.
Invoice paid? We use webhooks to unlock the service in your system, trigger shipping, or send a 'Thank You' SMS to the customer.
The standard editor has limits. We code PDF templates directly in HTML/CSS/Blade. Pixel-perfect implementation of your stationery, conditional texts (EU Reverse Charge), and dynamic QR codes.
How we implement InvoiceNinja development in practice.
The tax advisor needs data in a specific CSV/XML format that InvoiceNinja does not natively export.
An external script that pulls all new invoices monthly via API, maps account assignment information, and generates a DATEV-compliant export file.
Billing is based on usage, not fixed prices. Standard recurring invoices cannot handle this.
A cronjob service that aggregates usage data from your app at month-end and generates an invoice with dynamic line items in InvoiceNinja via API.
Customers should not be redirected to an external URL (invoice.domain.com) for invoices and payments.
Integration of the client portal via IFrame or API into your own login area. Seamless UX without media breaks.
