I don't have a specific solution to recommend (all of the ones I've worked with have been high-end and custom), but I would advise you to consider whether the iPad is truly a convenience or just a coolness factor. I've seen companies deploy ERP with iPads and not once have the iPads been used as intended - the staff has discovered that it's much easier and faster to enter data on a computer and only use the iPads for email and personal use, making it an expensive experiment for the companies involved.

Thanks for sharing your experience jessicawade.

Hello Jessicawade,

I noticed that you updated this question.  The answer below still applies, but I can add a more recent WordPress plugin solution that will meet your needs:  Sprout Invoicing.  Sprout is a great invoicing solution and it's easy to customize.

I checked to see if they had anything detailing payments with PayPal Pro and I found this link.

Hope that helps!

Hello, Thanks for the question about what software to use for letting your customers pay their invoice via PayPal Pro. Even though your customers will get a copy of the invoice through email, you will need some way to tie in the invoice they see with the payment they provide in your website. There are too many possible solutions to list for this type of thing, but I'll suggest checking out some WordPress based solutions . These solutions would require that your website be based on WordPress. The nice thing about these solutions are that WordPress is free and some of the functionality (that may meet your needs) is also free. These 3 options represent hundreds of possible solutions that can be used for your requirements. Determining the one your want to use depends on how you build your website and if you want to use a third party solution or one that's custom built. I hope this helps to point you in a direction to solve your website need. If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know. Regards, Arnel C.
