The quickest way to get your invoices in front of your customers is via email. But you can also download PDFs of your invoices that you can save or print. You can do this when you create the invoice, or any time afterwards.

You can also email multiple invoices at once. This is great if you use recurring invoices or if you like to send your invoices in a batch on a particular day of the week.
