Commerce

Invoicing, billing and expense tracking.

Create invoices, track expenses and accept payments from a self-hosted app.

Invoice Ninja keeps your billing data and client list on your own server, with no per-client fees.

Choose a plan with room for your data as well as the app.

Serve it on your own domain behind a reverse proxy with a certificate.
5
Back it up
Schedule a database dump plus a copy of any uploaded files to an off-box location.

Give Invoice Ninja its own database user with rights only on its own schema.
Reverse-proxy Invoice Ninja and terminate TLS at the proxy so certificates are managed in one place.
Take a VPS snapshot before major upgrades so you can roll back cleanly.
