Prerequisites for Using GoHighLevel PDF Billing
Before generating PDFs, make sure you have:

Once these basics are in place, you can start creating PDFs for invoices and receipts in GoHighLevel.
How to Generate Invoice PDFs in GoHighLevel
To create a PDF version of an invoice, follow these steps carefully within your Sub-Account.
Step 1: Open the GoHighLevel Sub-Account
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- From the agency view, click on the specific Sub-Account where the invoice is stored.
All billing items and invoice PDFs are managed at the Sub-Account level in GoHighLevel.
Step 2: Go to the Invoices Area
- Inside the Sub-Account, locate the main navigation menu on the left.
- Click on Payments (or the equivalent section where invoices are configured).
- Open the Invoices tab or section to view the list of invoices.
You should now see a table listing all invoices that you can convert into PDFs in GoHighLevel.
Step 3: Open the Specific Invoice
- Find the invoice you want to generate as a PDF.
- Click on the invoice row or its View / Details option to open it.
This brings up the detailed invoice view, which includes controls for PDF creation and sharing in GoHighLevel.
Step 4: Generate or View the Invoice PDF
Within the invoice details screen, look for the PDF-related options. Depending on your interface version, you may see buttons such as:
- Download PDF
- View PDF
- Send as PDF
Selecting these options creates the invoice PDF and prepares it for download or email. The PDF will reflect all invoice details currently configured in GoHighLevel.
Step 5: Download or Email the Invoice PDF
Once the PDF is generated, you have two main workflows:
Download the Invoice PDF
- Click Download PDF.
- Save the file to your computer or cloud storage.
- Attach it to your own email client or upload it to internal systems as needed.
Email the Invoice PDF from GoHighLevel
- Click the option to Send or Email the PDF.
- Confirm or enter the client’s email address.
- Add any message content if a text field is available.
- Send the email so the client receives the invoice PDF directly from GoHighLevel.
Using the built-in email option helps keep all billing communication centralized inside the GoHighLevel platform.
How to Generate Receipt PDFs in GoHighLevel
Receipt PDFs are created from the payment records associated with invoices or other transactions. The steps are similar but start from the payments area.
Step 1: Open the Payments Section in GoHighLevel
- From the Sub-Account, open the Payments section.
- Navigate to Transactions, Payments, or the equivalent tab that lists payment records.
This section contains the data needed to build receipt PDFs in GoHighLevel.
Step 2: Select the Payment to Receipt
- Locate the payment entry you need a receipt for.
- Click on its Details or View option to open the payment record.
When you open a specific payment, GoHighLevel provides tools to generate a receipt, often including a PDF option.
Step 3: Generate the Receipt PDF
Inside the payment details, look for a button or link similar to:
- Send Receipt
- Receipt PDF
- Download Receipt
Clicking one of these options will create a receipt PDF using the payment information stored in GoHighLevel.
Step 4: Download or Email the Receipt PDF
Download the Receipt PDF
- Click the Download or Receipt PDF option.
- Save the file to your device.
- Store it in your internal documentation or share it manually with the client.
Email the Receipt from GoHighLevel
- Select the Send Receipt or similar email option.
- Verify the client’s email address.
- Optionally, add a short confirmation message.
- Send the email so the client receives a receipt PDF directly from GoHighLevel.
This keeps your payment confirmations professional and consistent.
