Getting started
Welcome to the Proposal System. Here's the fastest path from "I just logged in" to "I sent my first invoice and it got paid."
Your first 10 minutes
- Reset your password. The temp password you got from us is one-time only — top right of the admin → Sign out → click Forgot password? → set your real password. Sign back in.
- Look at the Get Started panel on the home page. It walks you through the same three things below — clicking each one ticks the box.
- Review your draft invoice at
/kz-admin/invoices. We seeded one with the line items you gave us. Edit:
- Replace the placeholder client name with a real client - Confirm the line items + prices reflect actual work - Set the issue date + due date
- Confirm payment methods at
/kz-admin/account. By default e-transfer is on with your email. Toggle on Stripe / cheque / custom as needed. Save.
- (Optional) Connect QuickBooks at
/kz-admin/integrations. When you hit "Connect," we'll redirect you to Intuit, you authorize the link, and from then on every paid invoice auto-syncs to your QB account.
Sending the first invoice
Open the draft, hit Save & stay so totals recalculate, then:
- Send now — fires the email immediately to the client
- Gmail draft — creates a draft in your Gmail outbox so you can review/edit before firing
- Stripe link — generates a "Pay Now" URL the customer can click
Most customers pay via e-transfer. The customer-facing invoice page shows your e-transfer email + reference instructions.
When the customer pays
- E-transfer / cheque / cash: click Mark Paid on the invoice — system flips status, fires automation webhooks (if you set any), syncs to QB if connected
- Stripe: payment auto-fires the webhook, no manual step
