Help & how-to
Quick answers to the common questions — tap one to open it.
How do I take card payments (Stripe, etc.)?
dBrief shows your customers a payment link on their quote/invoice — it doesn’t take the card itself. Go to Quotes & invoicing → Online payment links and add a row for each way you take payment.
For Stripe: a normal Stripe payment link is locked to a fixed amount, which won’t suit different invoices. The trick — in Stripe, create one Payment Link set to “customers choose what to pay”, then paste that single link in and label it “Stripe”. It then works on every invoice and the customer just enters the amount. You can also add your bank details for bank transfer.

How do I create an invoice (from a quote or a job)?
From a job, open the Invoice tab. For a fast one, use Quick invoice — type a description + price and it’s ready to send. Quotes become invoices via the job first: open an accepted quote, tap Convert to job, then raise the invoice from that job.
How do I send an invoice or get a PDF?
Save the invoice, then use the buttons at the bottom of it: Email customer sends it, Copy link gives you a shareable link, and Download PDF opens a printable copy you can save and email yourself. Tap Mark paid once it’s settled.
How do I attach photos or a PDF to a quote?
Open a saved quote → the Files card on the Details tab. Upload product photos or a mock-up/design PDF (up to 6 files). They show on your customer’s quote page under “Photos & documents”.
How do I add my logo & company details?
Up at the top of Settings under Your company — fill in your name, phone, email, address and accreditations, and upload your logo. These appear on every quote and invoice your customers see.
Still stuck? Email support@dbrief.co.uk and we’ll help.

Quotes & invoicing
These values appear on quote PDFs. Frozen onto each quote at create time — changing them later only affects new quotes.
Applied automatically when you add a product from the Eurosat catalogue picker — trade price × (1 + markup%) becomes the quote line price. You can still edit any line after picking.
The email you use to sign in to eurosatscotland.co.uk. The catalogue picker uses this to fetch your prices. Don't have a trade account yet? Open one with Eurosat Scotland →
Pre-fills the rate when you click + Add labour on a quote. Leave blank to use the company default below.
Used as the fallback for anyone in the company who hasn't set their own rate. Admins only.
Online payment links
Shown to customers on quotes & invoices. Add a row for each provider you offer (Stripe, Klarna, Clearpay, That Time Pro, GoCardless, SumUp, PayPal, anything with a payment URL). Recognised provider names get their brand colour automatically; anything else uses your accent.
Using Stripe? Read this first
A standard Stripe payment link is locked to a fixed amount, so it won’t suit different invoices. Instead, in Stripe create one Payment Link set to “customers choose what to pay”. Paste that single link into a row below, labelled Stripe — it’ll then work on every quote & invoice, with the customer entering the amount.
Get from your Google Business profile → Customers → Reviews → Share review form. Appears as a “Leave us a Google review” card on customer quotes + invoices and as a footer link on invoice emails.
