I am trying to include an additional .xlsx attachment to invoices. Normally, you can upload the attachment and check a box to include when sending the invoice via email. I can only upload an attachment but no check box. Any ideas what's going on?
I’ve got an update for you, @Hunter P.
QuickBooks Online constantly makes changes for a better experience. Our developers keep searching for ways to improve the program’s features to help and make your navigation easier.
As long as your document or attachment is added successfully, your customers can still see it. You can read this reference to learn more about managing attachments: Attachments in QuickBooks Online.
I’ve added this guide in case you‘d like to add specific information to your sales forms: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online. It includes instructions about changing email messages and setting a default custom template.
If you have any other questions or concerns besides attachments, please don’t hesitate to add a comment below. I’ll be here. Have a great day, and always take care!
Where does the customer see them?
I have the same problem
see attached, no more "attach to email" box
The email does not have the attachment?
I appreciate your effort in paying attention to the details given by my colleague, @dupolis.
I'd also get frustrated if I also encountered this issue with the "attach to email" box in invoice attachments. I'm here to share some workarounds and information to help sort this out.
As provided by my colleague above, your customer will see the document or attachment as long as you’ve attach it successfully. You’ll want to ensure that the files are attached first before you can see the “attach to email” box in your invoice.
Please see this sample screenshot for reference:
You can also try deleting and recreating the invoice and adding the attachment again to see if the box will show up.
Otherwise, this could also be a browser-related issue. We can fix this by running some basic troubleshooting steps.
I suggest performing the steps through a private window. It's the best place to check browser-related issues while working with QuickBooks. To save you time, use either of these keyboard shortcuts:
If it works fine, you can go back to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh. You can also use another supported and up-to-date browser to narrow down the results.
Moreover, please see this article for more details on the various file types that you can attach to any transaction in QuickBooks, as well as factors to keep in mind while emailing them: Attachments in QuickBooks Online.

We are having attachments disappear from invoices after we have added them, then they are missing when we go to look for them later, using QBO
Thank you for joining the conversation, apm-carrie.
