Key Takeaways

  • Settle the currency with each client before the first invoice, and write it into your contract or terms.
  • In the US, the IRS (page last reviewed or updated May 22, 2026) says "You must express the amounts you report on your U.S. tax return in U.S. dollars."

What multi-currency invoicing is

Multi-currency invoicing means billing a client in a currency other than your own, such as euros for a client in Germany or Canadian dollars for a client in Canada. The invoice shows the amount in that currency.

Settle the currency with each client before the first invoice, and write it into your contract or terms, so the client knows what they owe.

How Billed handles it

Billed's invoice software page says you can "Invoice customers in multiple currencies, choosing a different currency for each invoice or customer."

Billed's client management page says "Each client profile in Billed includes a complete history of invoices, estimates, and payments."

US tax reporting

In the US, the IRS (page last reviewed or updated May 22, 2026) says "You must express the amounts you report on your U.S. tax return in U.S. dollars." It also says "If you receive all or part of your income or pay some or all of your expenses in foreign currency, you must translate the foreign currency into U.S. dollars." and "How you do this depends on your functional currency."

Ask your accountant how to record the payments you receive in other currencies. Outside the US, ask your accountant about the rules where you're based.

Worked example: two clients abroad

These are sample figures. A US designer has two clients abroad. For a client in Germany, the designer bills 3 days at €800.00 a day: 3 × €800.00 = €2,400.00, on an invoice in euros. For a client in Canada, the designer bills 10 hours at CA$95.00 an hour: 10 × CA$95.00 = CA$950.00, on an invoice in Canadian dollars.

In Billed, the designer chooses the currency for each of the two customers, so each invoice is in its client's currency. The rates are examples, not suggested prices.

Getting paid

Billed's mobile app page says "Invoices carry a pay button when Stripe or PayPal is connected, so clients can pay by card the minute they receive it." Billed's invoice software page says "When a client pays by check or cash, record it as an offline payment so all your income is in one place." and "Set a due date on each invoice so your client knows when to pay."

Billed's help center says "You can set a schedule of payment reminders before and after the invoice's due date." Billed's invoice software page says "Invoice reports show which invoices are paid, partially paid or past due, and you can see who owes you money and send them a payment reminder."
