How public invoice links work

What is a public invoice link?

A public invoice link is a unique URL that allows your client to:

• View their invoice
• See itemized details
• Check totals and taxes
• Download a PDF copy

👉 Clients do not need a Lunio account to access it.

Important: Account vs free invoice generator

Public invoice links are only available for invoices created inside a Lunio account.

• ✅ Lunio account users → public links are automatically generated
• ❌ Free invoice generator users → public links are not available

👉 If you're using the free generator, invoices must be downloaded or shared manually.

How public invoice links are created

When you create or send an invoice inside your account:

• Lunio automatically generates a unique link
• The link looks something like:
• lunio.ca/i/abc123xyz

👉 Each link is tied to a specific invoice.

How to share an invoice link

You can share the invoice in multiple ways:

• Send it via email through Lunio
• Copy and paste the link manually
• Share it via text, messaging apps, or email

What your client sees

When a client opens the link, they can:

• View the full invoice
• See line items and pricing
• View taxes (GST, HST, PST, or QST)
• Download a PDF version
• Check invoice status (e.g., unpaid, paid)

Security and privacy

Public invoice links are:

• Unique to each invoice
• Not publicly listed or searchable
• Difficult to guess

👉 Only people with the link can access the invoice.

Why public links are useful

Public invoice links allow you to:

• Send invoices instantly
• Avoid requiring client logins
• Share invoices across platforms
• Provide a professional, easy experience
