The invoice-app tax, in numbers

Questions, answered straight

Is $19 really one-time?

Yes. No renewal, no seat math, no “pro plus”. If we ever ship a billable add-on, it will be something new — not your invoice footer held hostage.

Where are my invoices stored?

In your browser's local storage on your device. There is no server that could leak them, sell them, or lose them. Export is on the roadmap as a JSON backup file; until then clearing browser data clears the app — keep that in mind.

How do I get the PDF?

Hit “Download PDF” and choose “Save as PDF” in the print dialog. It's the same engine that prints paper tickets — vector-sharp and reliable.

What happens if a dynamic invoice tool shuts down?

Wrong question — but a good instinct. Here, the app is static files in your browser cache: even if this website vanished tomorrow, your last-loaded copy keeps working and your data was always local.

Refunds?

14 days, no drama. Payments and taxes are handled by Waffo as Merchant of Record — see the refund policy.

Your next invoice is 30 seconds away.
