Hi Product Hunt! Founder here, and it's super exciting to show you guys what we've been working on! Huge thanks to everybody who's helped get us to this point.
ZipBooks is what we think accounting should be. It aims to simplify bookkeeping dramatically and help small businesses solve what's often their biggest problem - getting cash in the bank when they need it. When a ZipBooks user sends an invoice, we can finance it right away, so money shows up in our users' bank account usually in less than 24 hours--even though their client may wait 30 days or longer to pay. We get paid back over time with low, transparent fees.
Because we make money on invoice financing, we don't charge a subscription for using ZipBooks. No tiers, and no limits on any of our features. It's all just free. (And no ads, either!)
Some of the other cool stuff we do:
- Invoices and estimates
- Connect bank, categorize expenses
- Accept credit cards (Stripe, WePay) or PayPal
- Track time
- Recurring auto-billing
- Automated late payment reminders
Can't wait to hear what you guys think -- we hope you get as excited about it as we are! Happy to answer any questions.
@timchaves Would love to integrate http://paynote.io with ZipBooks. Very clean design. Love it.
@itsthisjustin Thanks Justin--and congrats on Paynote! And let's talk for sure - email is my name at zipbooks.com :)
@itsthisjustin @timchaves paynote looks awesome. Would love to learn more about it. Do you guys handle the 1099 shuffle too?
@datarade @timchaves That feature is coming soon. About to launch a system that automatically notifies you when you've paid over $600 to someone, asks them to fill out a w4 (it emails them a pdf and they can email it back), and then attaches the w4 to their profile in Paynote. When you need to run taxes, you can have 1099's auto generate and download for anyone you have paid that needs them sent.
One thing I want everyone to know about besides how grateful I am for the warm reception is that we have a public, documented API: https://developer.zipbooks.com
Great company and product! Happy and very excited to use ZipBooks as our billing and invoicing solution.
I've been using zipbooks for a year now, earlier with different name, I love it! There is one feature id like seeing is multi currency, cause every invoice i send is in usd but all expanses are in rsd. Thanks
I've been using ZipBooks for a couple of months now and I'm digging it. It's super simple to use & has the power that makes my life easy! Happy to see you guys here.
I've been using zipbooks for months and I'm very happy with it. They team is very friendly and helpful.
I'm surprised at how slick the interface is, for both the web and iOS app. Also, instant payments is niiiiiice!
@timchaves this looks awesome! When will you guys be able to connect to UK bank accounts?
@george_baker Hi George, that's one of our top feature requests! No timeline yet, but looking at it!

.
@vlas_bashynskyy I am going to include a link to the Chrome time tracker: https://chrome.google.com/websto...
I have been waiting for ZipBooks for about 4 years now!
I exist as a small business in that niche area where I usually only have 5-6 clients at a time, but three of them are long term ventures where I need recurring billing.
I was always stuck bouncing from one level of service to another on Freshbooks and Quickbooks. They never seemed to have the right feature set for me, and often when they did, it was just out of reach and came along with a ton of stuff I simply wouldn't use.
ZipBooks solves that problem completely, and the price point is perfect. I actually TRY to get my clients to pay via the online system so ZipBooks will get their cut. They deserve to be paid for the fantastic service, and top notch customer support.
Oh yes another word on support. Its FANTASTIC. I have had terrible experiences with other paid services. No such issue with Zipbooks. Partially because it just WORKS, and partially because the support team is always there with a quick answer. And let's be honest, my support tickets are because I can't figure something out, not from a failure in the product.
Keep up the fantastic work guys!
Zipbooks is an amazing product. As a freelancer I needed something simple and inexpensive. Zipbooks was just that. It is very mobile as it works well on the phone. I get notifications as soon as I get paid on different projects. You can setup recurring invoices (for free...let's take a moment and laugh at Quickbooks). It is everything a freelancer needs. I also see this being something that will be able to integrate as I grow. The time tracker is not something that I use as of now, but it will be necessary down the line. Great product. On top of that, the support that Zipbooks provide is top of the line. Brad Hanks has been there to help answer questions whenever I might would have one. Great product, great team.
We use ZipBooks for Invoicing customers, and its very simple and easy to use! It's one of the Invoicing App we really enjoy using.
