Your first invoice is the first data point of your on-chain financial identity. Here is exactly how to create one.

Who this is for

Anyone who gets paid for work — freelancers, contractors, consultants, agencies, or businesses — and wants that payment to count toward their Monaris Score.

Before you start

You need two things:
  • A Monaris account (sign up at app.monaris.co with Google or email)
  • Your client’s wallet address or email address

Step 1 — Create the invoice

In your dashboard, hit Create Invoice. Fill in:
  • Amount — the payment amount in your chosen stablecoin (USDC or USDT)
  • Due date — when payment is expected
  • Description — what the work is (optional, but recommended for your own records)
  • Recipient — your client’s wallet address or email. If you use email, they get a link to view and pay the invoice in their browser

Step 2 — Send the invoice

Hit send. The invoice status becomes Issued. Your client receives it in one of two ways:
  • Monaris inbox — if they have a Monaris account, it appears directly in their inbox
  • Email link — they click through to view the invoice and pay, no account required

Step 3 — Track the status

Every invoice moves through four stages in order:
StatusWhat it means
IssuedInvoice sent, not yet opened
ViewedClient opened the invoice
PaidClient initiated payment
ClearedPayment confirmed, funds in your wallet
You can see the status of every invoice in your dashboard at any time.

Step 4 — Invoice clears, Score builds

When the invoice clears, two things happen automatically:
  1. You receive the funds — settled in USDC or USDT, instantly
  2. Your Monaris Score updates — points are added based on the cleared invoice
You did not need to take any extra action. The system handles Score calculation in real time.

What happens next

After your first cleared invoice:
  • Mona comments on the event — she might note it is your first cleared invoice, or that the client paid on time
  • Your Score starts building — clear more invoices to move toward Established (Tier B) and eventually Trusted (Tier A)
  • Client patterns emerge — over time, Monaris tracks which clients pay early, on time, or late
Nine more cleared invoices (plus meeting volume minimums) gets you to Established — your first real milestone.

FAQ

Can my client pay without a Monaris account? Yes. They receive an email link, connect their wallet on the payment page, and pay directly. No signup required. What if my client does not pay on time? Mona sends automated, non-aggressive reminders. Overdue invoices affect the client’s payment pattern in your records, not your Score. What stablecoins can I invoice in? USDC and USDT in V1.
