# Quickstart

> Invite Invoice Bot to your server and send your first invoice.

This starts from the point where Invoice Bot is already running and reachable — inviting it to
a server and configuring it are the only things that happen from here on.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Invite the bot">
    Generate an invite from the Discord Developer Portal's OAuth2 → URL Generator using the
    `bot` and `applications.commands` scopes. See
    [Installation & Permissions](/invoice/installation-permissions) for exactly which Discord
    permissions to grant — Invoice Bot doesn't need Administrator, and it doesn't need any
    privileged intent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure at least one payment method">
    Run `/payment_config` with whichever provider fields apply — for example
    `paypal_email:`, `btc_address:`, or `stripe_link:`. You can also set `currency`,
    `invoice_prefix`, `admin_role`, and `log_channel` in the same command. See
    [Configuration](/invoice/configuration) for the full field list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your first invoice">
    Run `/invoice create` to open the staged builder — add items, tax, a discount, a payment
    method, and notes, then confirm to post it. For a one-off flat charge, `/payment` creates
    and sends a single-item invoice in one command instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Decide whether you need payment profiles">
    By default every invoice bills to the server's own configured payment details. If more than
    one staff member or team takes payments separately, turn on
    `/payment_config payment_profiles_enabled:true` — see
    [Configuration](/invoice/configuration#payment-profiles) before enabling it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After setup

Every invoice posts as a live panel with **Payment Details** and **Manage** buttons that keep
working across restarts. `/invoice manage <number>` reopens the same management panel manually.
The full command reference starts at [Invoices](/invoice/commands/invoices).
