How To Invoice Someone in Mexico

Mexico’s economy is a developing one. Thanks to the age of global commerce, it’s being fueled by access to the greater global economy. This means that Mexican companies and consumers are frequently on the receiving end of goods and services from abroad—often, from the United States.

If you’re doing business with a Mexican company or need to send bills to clients, it’s important to understand how to invoice someone in Mexico. The process is relatively straightforward, but a thoughtful approach makes all the difference in terms of payment clarity, expedience and transparency.

Here’s what you need to know when sending an invoice to someone in Mexico, and how to structure the process for minimal mistakes or delays in receiving payment.
 

Information needed to generate an invoice

Before you can send an invoice, you need to create one. Creating an invoice means taking stock of the important information needed to facilitate payment: how much the recipient owes, what the invoice is for and when it’s due, for starters. Here’s a look at the other information businesses should include in every invoice:

• The issue date, payment due date and NET terms
• Sender and recipient names and contact information
• A unique and identifiable invoice number (for auditing)
• The full amount due for the products or services being invoiced
• A description of the scope of work being invoiced
• Approved modes of payment and/or ways to pay the invoice

In addition, it’s also important to consider currency when doing business in Mexico. Standard practice for most international business is to send the invoice in the local currency and adjust for conversion. In this case, it would mean sending an invoice sum in Mexican Pesos (MXN) and making a note of the conversion rate on the invoice.
 

Use data capture technology for paper invoices

Is your business still using paper invoices? It’s time to leave the paper in the past and opt for traceable, transparent digital invoicing. Payment systems like Veem make it easy to scan paper invoices and drop them into the platform, where they’re instantly converted into digital invoices.
