Adding attachments when sending invoices from Benji Pays

This article will show you how to add email attachment(s) up to 5MB when emailing your invoices and when sending invoice receipts through Pay Now links, Auto Processing or for when your customers view their invoices in the Customer Portal.

When sending single invoices from Benji Pays, any attachments that are checked in the box in the attachment section of the invoice in QuickBooks online or Xero will be sent in Benji Pays.  

Only our QuickBooks online integration supports attaching invoice attachments when using our batch invoice sending feature.  For Xero, due to their API limits, invoice attachments stored in Xero are only attached to the email when using our one at a time invoice sending.

There is a total attachment size limit of 5MB, only the first 5MB of attachments will be sent and the rest will be dropped from the emails.

You can select all to send all or remove all to send or remove all attachments but by default the system will pre-select any boxes that have been selected on the invoice in QuickBooks online or Xero.
