Invoice
Your request for payment. Sending one books revenue and a receivable; the customer pays through the hosted link.
In Solo Superstars
Create one under Invoices with line items, tax, and due date. Sending it emails the customer a hosted page with a payment link and posts the entry. Until sent, it is a draft and touches nothing.
Shop orders create invoices automatically with origin "shop"; you never type those.
Example
Send a $1,200 invoice for services: debit 1100 Accounts Receivable 1,200, credit 4010 Services 1,200.
