Create an Invoice

Minting an invoice creates a private record on the Aleo blockchain. Only you can see its details.

Steps​

  1. From your dashboard, click Create Invoice
  2. Fill in the invoice details:
    • Invoice Number — click the generate button or type your own
    • Debtor Address — the Aleo address of whoever owes you
    • Amount — how much is owed
    • Currency — ALEO or USDCx (see USDCx Payments)
    • Due Date — when payment is expected
  3. Optionally add line items for a breakdown
  4. Optionally attach a supporting document (PDF, image, contract)
  5. Review the summary on the right, then click Create Invoice

Proof Generation​

After clicking Create Invoice, your Shield Wallet will ask you to approve the transaction. You must sign this request before the proof generation process starts.

Once approved, the app generates a zero-knowledge proof. This takes 30-60 seconds (or up to 5-7 minutes if it's your first transaction ever). A progress indicator shows the status.

What Happens On-Chain​

  • A private Invoice record is created, encrypted with your key
  • Nobody else can see the amount, debtor, or any details
  • The invoice appears on your dashboard once the transaction confirms
