Invoices
Sealed invoices recipients can verify
Seal invoice PDFs so buyers can open a public link and confirm the file has not changed since you sealed it — then follow pay or report paths your plan already supports.

Seal X7F-G2K-9PX · verified
A sealed invoice fingerprints the invoice file and publishes it on a verification page. Beside seal status, the page can show the amount due so payment is tied to the sealed record — not a swapped attachment.
That layout reduces the classic “which PDF was final?” argument. The client opens one link, confirms integrity, sees what they owe, and can pay without hunting a second portal — without claiming every invoice dispute disappears.
Opcilo is not a full accounts-payable or ERP system, and it does not verify the identity of the person who opened the link.
Invoice generation lifecycle
Pro negotiation journey: create and share for review, loop on change requests, confirm agreement, then issue a sealed invoice with Pay Now on one verification link.
Invoice journey
Created
Build lines and totals
Shared
One review link — not sealed yet
Confirmed
Client agreed on this version
Issued
Sealed and payable

Collected on the verify page
From Shared, the client can:
Confirm
Agreement — still not sealed
Changes requested
Comment required
You update
Edit, then share again
Loop back to Shared
Declined
Re-share to reopen
Share again → Shared
Created → Shared → client responds. Changes requested or Declined loop through an update and re-share. Confirmed means agreement — Issue seals and enables Pay Now.
Invoice attachment chaos
Teams call it invoice spam: look-alike PDFs, “corrected” attachments, and threads where nobody agrees which file is final. Paying the latest email attachment is not the same as paying the agreed invoice — totals or bank details can change while the filename still looks right.
Hierarchical work packages
Pro invoices group parent work packages with billable sub-lines. Parent totals roll up from children so the PDF and verify card match how you present the work — Free keeps a simple flat path when you issue and seal immediately.
Share, confirm, then seal
Share for client review before anything is locked. Clients can Confirm, Request changes (with a comment), or Reject. Feedback stays on the invoice record. Issue when you are ready — that seals the file and enables Pay Now on the same link.
How sealed invoices collect payment
After Issue, recipients open the verification link without an account, confirm integrity, see amount due, and use Pay Now (Stripe) or your payment instructions against the sealed record. You can notify when the invoice is sealed and when payment is reported.
Why this reduces invoice disputes
Negotiation happens before the seal, on-record — not buried in email. After sealing, a swapped attachment no longer matches. Payment conversations start from a shared, checkable file and amount due.
Plans and availability
Hierarchy, share-for-review, and Pay Now on sealed invoices are Pro (and above). Free sealing still proves integrity. After business verification (KYB), Issuer Verified workspaces can also pair invoices with a Trust Badge.
