Card Flow — Editorial

Yes. On Better Invoice's Custom plan, the code editor and templating engine produce a working ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look, with your agreements, time entries, products, and tax flowing in through the API. No Report Writer, no Crystal Reports.

Yes. Logo upload is standard in Better Invoice, and the Clean Brutalist layout accommodates it cleanly in the header.

If your brand leans serious, careful, and documentation-first, yes. If your brand is warm, colorful, or playful, try Card Flow — Editorial or Kinetic instead.

Yes. Clean Brutalist is strongest left monochromatic, but when you build it on the Custom plan you have full control over typefaces, rule weights, and accent color through the template editor.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice's code editor builds a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look — system sans, hairline rules, right-aligned meta — with your agreements, time entries, and line items flowing through the API.

The built-in invoice is a Report Writer template from years ago. Functional Modernist is designed for how MSPs bill in 2026 — clear hierarchy, readable type, modern spacing. Same data, delivered well.

Building this as your live ConnectWise invoice requires the Custom plan, which includes a full code editor, templating engine, and 1-on-1 consultation to get the look right.

Once built, Better Invoice generates a full preview of every invoice before sending, and you can test-render the template against any historical ConnectWise invoice to see how it looks with your real data.

The design scales typography down for long company names, so 'Acme Technology Solutions' and 'ATS' both work. When Better Invoice builds this template on the Custom plan, the header text and scaling are fully configurable.

It can be. If your clients are law firms, financial advisors, or healthcare, try Luxury Navy or Government Form instead. For tech-forward clients, Structured Document reads as confident, not aggressive.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice's code editor produces a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look, with your data pulled in through the API. No Report Writer, no manual export.

Yes. Logo upload is standard, and the Structured Document layout keeps the 4-point rule and meta row in place, so the structural identity holds even when the 42-point headline becomes a logo mark.

Yes. The Government Form design shows every required field clearly — invoice number, PO reference, tax registration, remit-to address, itemized totals. When you build this as your template on the Custom plan, it's produced for AP departments and auditors, not marketing.

Yes. Better Invoice reads ConnectWise's tax codes and totals through the API. When Government Form is built on the Custom plan, those values render in the tax summary section automatically.

Yes. Better Invoice can pull custom ConnectWise Manage fields through the API, and on the Custom plan they can render as additional form fields — useful for government and enterprise work.

Probably, unless your clients actively prefer formal documents. For general-purpose MSP billing, Minimal Light or Functional Modernist is a safer pick.

Possibly. Dark invoices are still the minority, so if your client base is conservative or finance-adjacent, pick Minimal Light or Functional Modernist. For technical teams, Ops Console usually lands well — it matches the tools they already use.

In PDF form, yes — the contrast is tuned for on-screen viewing and export. Physical mailing with a dark background is unusual and often not ideal; most MSPs who pick a dark design stick with digital delivery.

Yes. The default greens, ambers, and blues map to paid, due, and pending states. On the Custom plan, you can remap these to your brand palette through the template editor.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice builds a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look, with the same data every template receives — agreements, time, products, tax — flowing in through the API.

Yes. Minimal Light is the design most MSPs pick when they're not sure. It looks current, reads cleanly, and doesn't commit to a strong aesthetic that might clash with future branding.

The built-in ConnectWise invoice was designed for print and hasn't been updated in years. Minimal Light uses modern spacing, a readable type scale, and soft borders that render well on screen and in PDF exports.

Yes. Better Invoice supports logo upload, and the subtle blue accent can be swapped for any hex value. Building Minimal Light as your live template is a Custom-plan build.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice produces a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look, with your agreements, time entries, products, expenses, and tax flowing in through the API. No Report Writer required.

In monospace, yes — the Catppuccin palette is tuned for contrast, and the line-item table aligns cleanly in code font. It reads like a well-formatted `less` output. Clients unfamiliar with monospace may find it unusual.

Yes. On Better Invoice's Custom plan, the code editor builds a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look, with your agreements, time, products, and tax flowing in through the API. No Report Writer, no Crystal Reports.

Yes. The palette is tokenized, so on the Custom plan you can swap Catppuccin for any color system or flip to a light background while keeping the all-monospace treatment.

Technical clients usually enjoy it. Non-technical clients may not recognize the reference. If your book is mixed, keep Modern Terminal for specific accounts and pick Functional Modernist or Minimal Light as your default.

Kinetic's design groups ConnectWise Manage line item types (product, service, expense) into the default color set. On the Custom plan, the mapping can match your agreement types exactly, and you can add custom categories.

The company name and totals are large — roughly 3x the size of standard invoice templates. The effect is intentional; clients notice the invoice. If you want something quieter, Minimal Light or Functional Modernist reads cleaner.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice builds a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look, with your data pulled through the API. No Report Writer, no manual exports.

The category grouping actually helps here — long invoices read better when grouped, and Kinetic's hierarchy handles 50+ line items without feeling cluttered.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice builds a ConnectWise Manage invoice on this grid, in Helvetica, with your line items, agreements, and totals flowing in through the API.

Yes. The single-accent approach is part of the aesthetic, so we recommend keeping one accent rather than adding several — but on the Custom plan you can swap red for your brand color through the template editor.

Helvetica is the typographic backbone of the Swiss modernist design tradition this direction draws from. If you prefer Inter, Neue Haas, or another grotesque, the Custom plan lets you swap the typeface globally while keeping the grid and layout.

Yes. Swiss International scales cleanly — the 8-pixel grid and tabular numerals keep multi-page invoices aligned, and the hairline rules prevent long tables from feeling heavy.

If your rates and positioning match the aesthetic, yes. If you're billing $150/hr break-fix, Luxury Navy will read as overreach. It's designed for premium engagements.

In PDF form, yes — the silver rules and serif typography hold up cleanly in export. Physical mailing with a dark background is unusual; premium MSPs that pick this direction usually deliver digitally, where the full treatment lands.

Yes. Better Invoice supports logo upload. On the Custom plan, the logo's treatment can match the theme — silver for a quiet signature, or a custom metallic for something more prominent.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice builds a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look, with your agreements, time entries, products, and tax pulled in through the API.

For detailed invoices, usually yes — cards are easier to scan. For short invoices (one or two line items), a standard table like Functional Modernist or Minimal Light reads cleaner and takes less vertical space.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice produces a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this format, where every line item from your ConnectWise data renders as its own card.

Yes. Better Invoice supports line-item grouping on the Custom plan, so you can consolidate related ConnectWise line items into a single card labeled "Managed IT Services — $X/month" while keeping the detail internal.

Card Flow paginates gracefully. A 50-item invoice runs to three or four pages cleanly, with header continuity on every page.

Yes. On the Custom plan, swap burgundy for any brand color through the template editor. The masthead and card layout stay the same.

Yes. On the Custom plan, Better Invoice builds a ConnectWise Manage invoice in this look, with your agreements, time entries, products, expenses, and tax flowing in through the API. No Report Writer, no manual export.

Georgia is designed for on-screen and print legibility at small sizes — exactly what an invoice needs. On the Custom plan, you can swap it for any serif you prefer while keeping the layout.

Possibly. Corporate clients sometimes read warmer palettes as 'small business' rather than 'boutique.' If you want warmth without the cream background, try Kinetic instead.
