Sealbill user manual

Sealbill is a self-hosted invoicing system for people who take crypto, bank transfers and card links side by side, and who want the client data encrypted at rest. This manual is for the people who run it: the staff who issue invoices and the operator who installs it.

How to read the screenshots

• The staff pages (everything behind the sign-in) are in English whatever language the client speaks. Menu names in this manual are written exactly as the app shows them.
• The client pages (the invoice page /i/…, the pay page /p/…, payment-link pages, the unlock page and the letters) are translated into en, sk, cs, de, es, fr, pl, ko and ru. The client sees the language of the contact, then of the organization, then of their browser; add ?lang=de to a client link to see it in another language.
• All names, e-mail addresses, wallets and amounts in the screenshots are made up: they come from a demo organization, "Example Studio s.r.o.", on a throw-away database.
• A line in code is something you type or a value you copy. Commands are shown as manage.py …; in the Docker Compose setup that is docker compose exec web python manage.py …, and under systemd it is payinv-manage … (see the README of the repository).
