Invoice Ninja

Simple, Intuitive Invoicing

https://www.invoiceninja.com

Introduction

Most online invoicing sites are expensive. They shouldn't be. The aim of this project is to provide a free, open-source alternative. Additionally, the hope is this codebase will serve as a sample site for Laravel as well as other JavaScript technologies.

Features

• Core application built using Laravel 4.1
• Invoice PDF generation directly in the browser
• Integrates with many payment providers
• Recurring invoices
• Tax rates and payment terms
