<h2><?php echo htmlspecialchars(_('Invoicing')); ?></h2>

It must have your and your client\'s address and VAT-ID if applicable, a unique, consecutive invoice number, as well as the invoicing date and date of service, or service period. Your products and services are best represented in a table with a short description and individual pricing, then sum up each item and if applicable add additional VAT. If your products/services have different VAT charges, it may be best to put these on each item. Finally, you would want to supply your payment information, as well as payment terms.')); ?></p>

This, unfortunately, means, that invoices in your name, generated by foreign platforms, may not be considered valid in Germany.

This applies especially if you are required to account for VAT, which is often not handled correctly by these platforms. If you are from Europe, and your customer is from the same country as you, you should get an agreement with them, that you send them separately an invoice with the correctly accounted VAT, which they will pay directly to you, while the primary task is paid over the platform you are using.

<h2><?php echo htmlspecialchars(_('Pricing your work')); ?></h2>
<p><?php echo htmlspecialchars(_('Most of your clients will probably want to know your prices before starting to work with you. You can either work on an hourly rate, which is safest for you, especially as a beginner, since you will be able to bill every hour you\'ve spent on a task. In this model, you estimate the time you need for a task, and if you end up needing more time, you\'d let the client decide whether you should put more time into it. On the flip side, you can\'t bill more, when you need less time (although you could lie about the time you needed). Project-based pricing is the alternative, that you can use to your advantage when you have enough experience and have a good feeling about how much time a task takes. A client will happily pay you the same they would spend on someone else that takes 3 times longer if you can complete a task very quickly with your experience. In project-based pricing, you can base your estimate on the time you would need, as well as the value it brings to your client\'s business.')); ?></p>
