What it is

You share a single link, like wrenbase.com/invoice-me/acme-studio, with your vendors. They open it, fill in a short form with the amount and what it’s for, and can attach a PDF of their invoice. The bill lands under Bills in your workspace, where you review and pay it.

Two things make it work:

• No account for your vendors. They don’t sign up for anything. They fill the form and they’re done.
• You decide who can send. Only the vendors you’ve added can submit. Anyone else is turned away with a clear message telling them to ask you to add them first. That’s what makes the link safe to share openly.

Setting it up

1. Open the intake settings

   In your workspace, go to Bills → Intake and click Configure intake. This is where you turn Invoice Me on and manage your link.

2. Turn it on and choose your link

   Enable Invoice Me and pick your link. It’s the part after wrenbase.com/invoice-me/, so keep it short and easy to say out loud. It can be 3 to 31 characters, using lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. You can change it later, but that breaks the old link, so try to settle on one.

3. Share your link

   Copy your link and put it where vendors will use it: your email signature, a note when you start with a new vendor, or a reply to their next invoice saying “send bills here from now on.”

4. Add your vendors

   Only vendors you’ve added can send you bills, so add the ones you work with under Contacts → Vendors. Adding a vendor is what gives them permission to submit. If someone tries to bill you before you’ve added them, they get a message asking them to reach out, and once you add them their bill goes through. See Contacts.

Adding a new vendor takes a few seconds, and every bill from them after that just works.
