How to Invoice a Client in Another Currency
Which currency to bill in, the exchange-rate wording to include, and how to stop FX movement from eating your margin between invoice and payment.
Billing in a client's currency wins deals; billing in yours protects margin. You can have most of both if the invoice is worded properly.
What belongs on a cross-currency invoice - The amount and currency payable, stated unambiguously (e.g. 'USD 2,400'). - The exchange rate used and its date, if you quoted in another currency. - A note that conversion figures are indicative and the invoiced currency governs. - Your bank or receiving-account details in that currency, where possible.
Reduce the gap Short payment terms reduce FX exposure. Fourteen days of currency movement is far cheaper than sixty.
The invoice generator on /money adds the conversion note automatically using today's rate.
[Draft — expand with sample invoice wording, VAT/reverse-charge notes for EU clients, and a late-payment clause.]
