# Invoicing and billing overview

> Manage invoicing and payments in Gorelo with full or partial invoices created from time, products, or bundles, then review, approve, and send to clients.

Gorelo provides a complete invoicing and billing platform that allows you to manage the invoicing and payment processes efficiently.

## Invoices

An invoice in Gorelo is a document that lists the products and services you provide to your customers, along with the corresponding prices and quantities. You can create invoices from:

* Time or labor entries
* Products
* Bundles

Invoices can be:

* **Full**: billing the entire amount.
* **Partial:** billing a portion of the amount.

Create them from scratch or use templates to save time. Once you have created an invoice, you can:

1. Review it.
2. [Approve it](/approve-and-invoice).
3. Send it to your customers.

## Products and services

Products and services are the items you bill to your customers. They can either be:

* **Time based:** you invoice the time spent on a ticket.
* **Labor based:** you invoice the type of work you perform on a ticket, or the role of the person performing the work.
