    How to see what your customer sees on an invoice in Dumpster Controls

    Every invoice has a public page that requires no login. Opening the invoice link yourself is the fastest way to check exactly what the customer will experience before you send it.

    Before you start

    • An existing invoice.
    1. 1

      Copy the link

      Use "Invoice Link" (or "Copy link" in Order History) on the order, then open it in your browser.

    2. 2

      Review the page

      The page shows your logo and company info, the invoice number, a status badge ("Paid", "Unpaid", or "Declined"), "Bill To" details, the "Amount Due" banner, line items, taxes and surcharges, and any landfill receipts or extra-charge evidence photos attached to the order.

    3. 3

      Check the payment button

      Unpaid online invoices show a "Pay Now" button with the amount due. It opens a secure Stripe checkout; the payment link is validated and refreshed automatically every time the page loads, so customers never hit an expired link.

    What happens next

    • After payment the page flips to "Paid" and works as the customer's receipt.
    • If the order is declined, the page is blocked for payment and shows the cancellation reason you wrote.
