QBO invoice customization

I am needing to customize an invoice beyond what QBO allows me to do in the basic settings. I see that QBO no longer allows importing templates from Word and I am wondering if there are any other options for extensive customization?

QBO invoice customization

It’s nice to see you posting your concern in the QuickBooks Community, @WillisAndrew. I’ll share some insights about importing invoice templates from MS Word into QuickBooks Online. 

 

I understand that this feature is beneficial to you and your business. However, we’ll no longer have access to the Import Styles option in QuickBooks Lab for new QBO accounts after June 29, 2021. Existing accounts can continue to use DOCX templates uploaded before this date. 

 

Also, these file types can cause issues when uploading your custom form styles. Let’s ensure to avoid these: 

 

  • Audio
  • ClipArt, Word Art
  • Animated GIFS
  • Embedded files
  • Adding or updating hidden links or merging fields
  • Files over 2MB
  • Non-.docx file types or older MS Word documents renamed as .docx files

 

Alternatively, QBO gives you tools to create attractive and professional-looking invoices. Let me guide you on how: 

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙ and then select Custom Form Styles.
  2. Select New Style.
  3. Select the type of form you’d like to create a template for.
