Import your invoices from Invoice Simple
One file from Invoice Simple's "Export Invoice Summary", one tap in PunchDocs. You see what's in the file before anything is saved, and there are no columns to match up.
Step 1: export from Invoice Simple
- Open Invoice Simple and go to Settings.
- Under Invoice, tap Export Invoice Summary.
- Pick a date range that starts before your very first invoice, so you get all of them.
- Choose CSV (XLSX works too; not PDF) and tap Export.
Steps from Invoice Simple's help page.
Step 2: drop it into PunchDocs
Go to punchdocs.com/switch and drop the file in, or tap Choose your file on your phone. You don't need an account first: PunchDocs shows you how many invoices, clients, and payments it found, the date range, and what's still owed. Create your free account and tap import.
What comes over
- Clients (matched by name and email or phone, so the same customer isn't duplicated)
- Invoice numbers, issue and due dates, and PO numbers
- Tax, totals, and payments, so paid and unpaid invoices show correctly
- Your numbering: the next invoice continues after the highest number imported
Invoice Simple's export doesn't include line items, so each old invoice gets one line that says it was imported, with the original total. Running the same file twice won't create duplicates.
Coming from somewhere else?
Once you have an account, the general CSV import brings clients, saved items, and invoices over from other apps; you match up the columns and confirm before anything is saved.
Questions
Do imported invoices count against the free plan?
No. Imported invoices never count. The free plan limit only applies to new invoices you create in PunchDocs.
What if I import the same file twice?
Invoices that were already imported are skipped, so you won't get duplicates.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Export the file on your phone, then pick it from your Files or Downloads on the PunchDocs switch page.
Is PunchDocs really free?
Yes. The free plan includes 1 new invoice every 30 days and unlimited estimates, clients, and items, with no credit card. Pro is $9.99/month for unlimited invoices and the extras, and you can cancel any time yourself.
