KitebillFiverr invoicing guide: platform invoices vs your own PDF
Fiverr issues invoices to buyers. Sellers do not get a client invoice for each Gig. Sending your own payment PDF to a Fiverr buyer is off-platform and against their policy.
Who receives a Fiverr invoice?
Checked 2026-10-02 on Fiverr Help:
- Buyers get an invoice for each payment (numbers starting FI) and credit invoices for cancellations (FC) (Fiverr: invoices (buyers)).
- Freelancers do not receive invoices for completed orders. You get earnings documents for tax, and invoices only for things you buy from Fiverr (Seller Plus, Ads) (Fiverr: downloading invoices).
- Fiverr does not invoice you for the commission it withholds; that is deducted before revenue is released.
Off-platform payments (do not use Kitebill for this)
Fiverr's off-platform policy says offering or accepting payments outside Fiverr is not allowed, and that moving to WhatsApp/Discord or sharing email/phone to take the job off-platform is prohibited (Fiverr: off-platform policy, Fiverr Community: taking business off-platform). Suggested replies on their page tell you to refuse. {BRAND} is the wrong tool for "pay me on Wise instead of Fiverr".
When a Kitebill PDF is appropriate
| Situation | OK to send a Kitebill PDF? |
|---|---|
| Fiverr buyer, active Gig/order | No — they already have Fiverr's invoice; a second bill is off-platform. |
| Your own client who never used Fiverr with you | Yes. |
| Tax invoice to Fiverr for your earned revenue | Yes, if your tax authority wants it. Fiverr publishes billing details for that purpose (Fiverr: freelancer taxes). |
| Private books of Fiverr payouts | Yes — keep them; do not email them to the buyer as a request for money. |
Tax invoice to Fiverr (as of Oct 2026)
Fiverr's freelancer-taxes article says they do not issue invoices for freelancers, but you may issue invoices to Fiverr to report earned revenues, using details they list (Fiverr International Ltd, 8 Eliezar Kaplan st., Tel Aviv, Israel 6473409, VAT ID 558327284, company number 514440874 — re-read Fiverr: freelancer taxes before you send anything; addresses change). That PDF is a tax document to Fiverr, not a collection letter to a buyer.
Recording payouts in the app
When Fiverr releases funds, add a paid invoice in the app for yourself: amount, FX into PKR/AED/EGP, and the commission as a fee. Dashboard net then matches reality. See multi-currency.

Questions
My Fiverr buyer asked for a PDF invoice with their company name.
Point them at Fiverr billing history. Editing a Fiverr invoice is their help-centre process. Sending your own bill for the same order risks both accounts.
Can I invoice Fiverr for my taxes in Kitebill?
You can type the legal details they publish and print a PDF. Confirm current details on their tax page. This is not tax advice.
Do you submit that invoice to Fiverr for me?
No. Their article says to send it via Contact us or mail. We only make the PDF on your device.
