# Converting estimates to invoices

The **Invoicing** tool includes the ability to send your potential customers an estimate. You can set an expiration date for your estimate, track outstanding estimates, and convert estimates to formal invoices all within our tool.

Click the **Estimates** tab to view a list of estimates you've already created.

Click **Search criteria** to search by customer name, create date or expiration dates.

#### How to Convert an Estimate to an Invoice:

Select an estimate from your list. The right-side menu will appear with options to manage the estimate. Select **Create invoice from estimate**.

_Only active estimates can be converted to an invoice. If the estimate has an **Expired** status, go to the **Invoices** tab and create a new invoice there._

The **Create an invoice from estimate page** will appear. Review the invoice details and make any changes. To finish conversion, click **Send invoice**. This will send an email to your customer with the final invoice.
