What a proforma invoice is for

A proforma invoice is often used before the final sale or shipment, especially when the client needs estimated pricing, prepayment information, or trade details. It can help a buyer review expected costs before a final commercial invoice is issued.

Important wording

A proforma invoice is not usually a final tax invoice. Keep the document clearly labeled and review requirements before using it for payment or shipping decisions.

Common proforma fields

Include seller and buyer details, product or service descriptions, quantities, expected values, currency, payment terms, shipping notes, and any reference numbers the buyer needs. For cross-border work, keep trade details easy to review.

Before you share it

Confirm that the proforma label is visible, values are estimates when appropriate, and the client understands whether it is used for approval, prepayment, or shipment planning.
