I want to send and invoices out to a customer so they can use my website to pay for the services I'll be rendering (payment in advance). 

My view is that if the customer doesn't actually exist yet within Joomla J2C database, it's not possible to insert customer fields into the invoice so a basic 'static' invoice format has been created, offering a link back to the website so that their customer can pay the invoice (or other method)

But how do I actually send the invoice to my customer user if I can't manually create Customers in the Backend.

Seems a bit disjointed to me?

Chris,

You can create orders in the backend :) It's not the best looking (that will change soon enough), but if you go into the general orders view, you should see a new button. Now what you would probably need as well is this app to close the loop...

Thanks again, Adam.

I created the order in the back end, and I can see it in the orders view as Unpaid, that said, however, I don't see a new button.Do you know what it's labelled as?

I've downloaded and installed the app you refer to. I'm not quite sure how it hangs together. The documentation isn't quite as clear as I might hope it would be.
