Illustrative example; adapt to your agreement. Not a real client record or live integration test.

Example: a branded support invoice with two clear lines
Template and identity: Studio layout, your business logo, one accent color, and a readable available font style.
Recurring service: September 2026 support retainer — agreed monthly scope: $1,200 USD.
Approved extra: Migration work approved for this billing period: $180 USD.
Billing details: Invoice 1042; total $1,380 USD; due October 5, 2026; payment instructions and invoice reference visible.
Illustrative presentation example with no tax or conversion. Branding does not determine required invoice fields or replace the billing terms agreed with a client.

Build a style you can check and reuse
1. Choose the layout with real content
Compare Editorial, Studio, and Statement using the same sender details, client name, and two service lines. Pick the layout that makes the work and total easiest to scan. Keep approved extras distinct from the retainer so the invoice explains the amount without a separate email.

2. Add the identity details
Add your logo, choose an accent color, and select an available font style. Supported logo inputs include PNG, JPG, WEBP, and SVG, subject to validation and size limits. Inspect the generated PDF even when an upload is accepted; a simple logo that renders clearly is more useful than a complex file with missing details.

3. Review the PDF before repeating the setup
Check the logo, text contrast, long descriptions, total, currency, due date, and payment information. Open a saved-invoice test to verify the deadline. For monthly billing, inspect the next queued invoice's copied branding and service wording before it sends, especially after a rebrand or scope change.

EXCEPTIONS AND LIMITS
A browser preview is only one view
Do not judge the final attachment only by the form preview. Open the actual PDF and check for awkward wrapping, clipped logo details, and hard-to-read text at normal zoom. Recheck after replacing an image or changing the font.

A logo cannot carry all the identity information
Keep the business and client details as readable text. A small logo or stylized wordmark may be recognizable without making the sender's full details easy to read. Check the text and image together.

Reused styling can accompany stale billing text
A consistent layout does not update the service month, purchase-order note, recipient, or approved extras. Check those fields on recurring invoices separately from the branding. Do not assume editing one invoice restyles every historical PDF.
