Quotation and invoice software

Quotation and invoice software where the quote becomes the invoice

Most tools keep quotes in one list and invoices in another, and you copy between them. In WStation they are the same record: a guest's stay is quoted, booked, invoiced and receipted — four names for one thing, each a single press.

  • No card
  • Nothing to install
  • Works on your phone

Typed once

Rooms, dates, guests, extras and prices go in at the quote. The invoice and the receipt are written from them, so they can't disagree.

Deposits that count

A deposit taken at booking is already on the invoice. The guest sees what they paid and exactly what is left.

Books that keep themselves

Each receipt lands in your income and your tax report as it is written. Unpaid invoices stay on the list until they're settled.

How it works

One stay, four names, zero retyping

Every guest is one record that changes its name as they go: asked for a price, said yes, stayed, paid. Each step is one press of a button.

  1. QuotationThey ask what it costs. Rooms, nights, guests and a deposit, priced in a minute.
  2. BookingThey say yes. One click, and the room is theirs on the calendar — nobody else can have it.
  3. InvoiceThey check out. The bill is raised from what was quoted, nothing typed twice.
  4. ReceiptThey pay. Part or all, by cash, card or transfer — and it is in the books.

Everything in it

Built for guesthouses, lodges and B&Bs

No modules to buy and nothing to set up first. Turn off what you don't use.

  • Occupancy calendar — every room down the side, every night across the top
  • No double bookings — a taken room is refused before the quote or booking is saved
  • Free-room search — type the dates and party size, see what is free and what fits
  • Quotes per room — each room with its own dates, guests and per-person or per-room rate
  • Deposits — ask for a percentage up front; the balance prints on its own
  • Room status — checking a guest out marks the room for cleaning
  • Invoices and receipts — your logo, bank details and a QR code on every document
  • VAT, GST or sales tax — including a separate rate for accommodation, or no tax at all
  • A till — for the bar, the shop or anything sold over the counter
  • Income, expenses and reports — worked out from money that actually moved
  • Your team — invite staff and admins; run more than one property from one login
  • Phone, tablet or computer — and it keeps working when the signal drops

Questions

Asked before signing up

How does a quotation become an invoice?

A quote becomes a booking when the guest says yes, and the booking becomes an invoice at checkout — or straight away if you invoice up front. The lines, prices and tax carry over; nothing is re-entered.

Can I invoice without a quote first?

Yes. Walk-ins and repeat guests can go straight to a booking or an invoice. The quote step is there when you need it.

Can I take part payments against an invoice?

Yes. Record a deposit, a payment at checkout, or several in between, by cash, card, EFT or mobile money. The receipt is written when it's paid in full.

Do numbers follow on from each other?

Yes. Quotations, invoices and receipts are numbered in their own series, and each document keeps its link to the stay it came from.
