Question

Is there any way I can print my invoice to include the images for each product? I'm adding them into the products and services but they are not appearing on my invoices?

Happy Tuesday, @info706. Welcome to the Community.

 

At this time, there's not a way to bring the image to each line on the invoice. I'm going to submit feedback to our Development Team about adding this feature to the product. In the meantime, you can use the Attachments option at the bottom of the invoice to include the pictures of the product.

 

The Community will have the best solutions for your QuickBooks needs. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know in the comments. Have a great day.

So what is the purpose of the image section in the Products and Services list section if not to show up on the invoices (see attached screenshot)?

March 5, 2020

Hello there, @jjp2.

 

The image column allows you to identify what item displays on the Products and Services page.

 

On the invoice, the line item only shows the details of the item. As a workaround mention by my colleague, you can use the attachments option to add images on it.

This is a needed feature as I purchase Koi and the invoices I get have the picture of the koi I have purchased and need this for my business.  If this is not offered I will then need to see what these other companies use for their books.  I know this is possible as I have stated I have received invoices and sales orders that have pictures on each line item.  My customer's purchase several koi and the descriptions can be identical but the picture of the koi are different.  The attachment when I go to view to print does not show the picture I have added and looks to be the only way you see the picture is if you email it to the customer but I need to print and hand to customer.  Do you have any updates at this time?  I have just received my swipe machine and if this is not something the Quickbooks can update I will need to find a different program.  I have used QB ever since it was Quicken back in the 80's so have been a loyal user for years.  Thank you.

We always value long time customers like you, HMK2020.

 

At the moment, we're unable to get updates about the product images. Though this option might be added in the future. You can visit our QuickBooks Blog to see the newly added features.

 

In the meantime, you'll want to go to the App Center and look for a third-party application that has the ability to add item pictures on your invoices.

 

You can always add a comment if you have any follow-up questions regarding QuickBooks Online. I'm here to help.

Wow, the solution they suggested is to go to the QB App Center and search for a program that can integrate the pictures into your invoices. I have an idea: SUGGEST WHICH APPS QUICKBOOKS CAN DO THIS WITH, INSTEAD OF JUST TELLING US TO GO SEARCH FOR ONE.

Having the ability to show photos next to products would help my client relations so much! Then they wouldn't have to reference a design to remember what products they are purchasing from me. We need this!

I do bookkeeping for several visual artists, photographers and galleries. They all end up making their invoices in another program because it is ESSENTIAL to have an image of the artwork on the invoice. Then I have to manually enter each invoice into Quickbooks, which is unnecessarily time consuming. Inevitably there are issues with the invoices they make in another program, often sales tax isn't calculated properly or they use the wrong invoice number. I got so excited when I noticed that it was possible to add images to Products in QBO. Finally we could make and send invoices from QBO! What a letdown to find that these images do not appear on invoices. Please add this feature.

 

Intuit is leaving a lot of money on the table, because if these clients could send invoices directly from QBO, they would also be receiving payments via QBO. Think of all those payment processing fees. If you don't do it to make your customers happy, please do it for the money!

Hello there, @SquareTriangle.

 

I can see the importance of adding images to your invoices. You may add the product image manually in the invoice. There's a section on the lower-left where you can attach the image up to 20MB in size. I've added a screenshot for your reference:

 

 

However, if you're referring to add the image on each product line, this would be a great idea and I'd recommend sending feedback to our Product developer team. They may include this option in future enhancements. This is where you can send feedback:

 

 

I've included this article to show you what are the other transactions where you can attach images: Attachments in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'll be around if you have other questions or concerns. Feel free to let me know in the comment section. I'd be happy to answer them.

May 12, 2021

I'm adding my vote to please include this option. I can't seem to submit via the "feedback" option, as the popup comes up blank on my screen. This feature is needed and important to many businesses.

May 12, 2021

Hi, TamaraO.

I completely understand how convenient to have this option in QuickBooks Online. Please know that we always take our customer's goals.

I recommend sending feedback to our Product Development Team to help improve your QuickBooks experience.

Here's how to do it:
 

  1. Log in to your QBO account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon at the top, then select Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
  4. Click Next to complete the process.


Just in case the steps above won't work you can directly for to the Customer Feedback website to send your concerns.


Let me know if you have other concerns in customizing the invoice. I'm always here to help.

Same here, it's a bit perplexing that the images aren't able to be added as a column item to the estimates and invoices. Just as they appear when viewing the products list. PLEASE add this feature!

May 17, 2021

Ive been asking for this feature since we joined QBO 5 years ago. I've kept adding product images in the hope that one day they'll listen to us but I'm giving up hope. Currently having to use 3rd party quoting software (and paying a monthly charge for it) for something that would take a good developer less than a week to implement. :(

August 23, 2021

What 3rd party quoting software are you using?  Looking to have this feature but have been unable to locate something that would work. 

November 8, 2022

I would also like this instituted, it has become the norm in many industries. I also have a customer that requires it or they are going to use a different company that can provide it.

 

Please advise if this is something that will be done soon or if it is still on the maybe some time list so that I can give my potential client a straight answer.

January 11, 2023

I can't believe this option - to include photos of a product WITHIN the invoice line items being purchased - is not available yet!  I have a client who is a jewelry designer & manufacturer and this feature would be tremendously helpful not only for the customer to confirm what they purchased by looking at it, but also for the manufacturing team to see the photo in the invoice and confirm what they need.  

 

Can anyone recommend any app intergrations to get this done?  It's a shame that we'd need an app to do this when the functionality to store product images is certainly there in QBO.  You guys just need to add it as a feature on the invoice already!

January 11, 2023

Hello there.

 

I can certainly see how much of a difference it would make for companies like yours if we could simply add photos to invoices.  Like you, I am eagerly anticipating the availability of this feature. 

 

You are being heard, and our product engineers are fully aware of this. I just want to let you know that they are currently collaborating to create features that will help their users. Also, a new feature will go through extensive testing to ensure that it is fully functional before being implemented. No worries, once a new update will be released users will be notified through email.

 

If you haven't added yourself as one of the users who want to have this feature, here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  2. Select Feedback under Profile.
  3. Share your feedback.
  4. Click Next to submit.

 

You can also visit this link to browse the latest updates from our development team: QuickBooks Online Customer Feedback.

 

Also, as we weren't able to provide you with an app that has this feature to be integrated with QBO, you can visit our Appstore to find one.

 

Additionally, should you want to accept electronic payments for online invoices and in-person sales, you can browse through this article: Take and process payments in QuickBooks Online with QuickBooks Payments.

 

Feel free to add any additional questions with regard to managing your invoices in QuickBooks Online. It's my pleasure to be of assistance. Take care!

hurry up QB. other programs are coming out and integrating photos and taking away your business.

 

lord, charge an additional $5 a month and do it already. clients will pay to have the photo options.

Yes! This is badly needed, when you create an estimate, being able to add an image, is more compelling for the customer to approve your estimate. I would request the ability to export my product list including the image for each product. 

June 1, 2024

Adding an image when creating an estimate can benefit you and your business, @M-Hazan. Here are some insights into this feature.


Incorporating a picture into an estimate can be advantageous for your clients or customers to visualize the item. However, due to certain product limitations in QBO, adding a specific picture for each item is unavailable. In such cases, you can manually include a product image using the Attachments option in Estimates. It's also worth noting that the product image cannot be exported once exporting the product list. You will need to manually select the images in the attachments. Here's how to do it:
 

  1. In the Gear icon, click Attachments from the List column.
  2. Select the picture you want to export.
  3. After that, tap Batch Actions and tick Export.

 

 

Furthermore, it's crucial to be able to add an image when creating an invoice or estimate and to export the product and service with its image. In this regard, we recommend sending a message to our developer team. This way, they can review your concern and may consider it for future product enhancements. Here's how you can do that:
 

  1. Select the Gear icon, then choose Feedback.
  2. Type in your comments or product suggestions.
  3. Hit Next to submit.

 

 

Moreover, you can save time when entering the same details by converting your created estimates into an invoice in QBO.
