Questions

Is Carbonpad really free?

Yes. The Free plan makes unlimited invoices, quotes and receipts with the Classic template. PDFs carry a small “Made with Carbonpad” line. Paid plans are one-time payments that add templates, more businesses and remove that line.

Where are my invoices stored?

In your own browser (localStorage) on the device you use. We do not upload your documents. Use Backup to save a JSON file and Restore to move it to another device.

Which currencies and tax types work?

Any ISO currency your browser knows (USD, EUR, GBP, KES, NGN, INR, ZAR and about 300 more), formatted for your locale. Each line can carry its own tax rate, and you can name the tax VAT, GST or sales tax. Prices can include or exclude tax.

Can I turn a quote into an invoice?

Yes. Open the quote and tap “Turn into invoice”. When the invoice is paid, tap “Mark paid” to stamp it and “Make receipt” to issue the receipt.

How do I pay for a plan?

Through Paystack. Solo is US$39 (KSh 5,070), Studio US$79 (KSh 10,270), Agency US$149 (KSh 19,370), once. You get a licence key by email and on screen, and it works on all your devices.
