Question 1

What's the difference between a quote and an invoice?

Accepted Answer

A quote is a proposal — it tells your client what the work will cost before they commit. An invoice is a bill for completed (or agreed) work. Once a client accepts a quote, you can convert it directly into an invoice with one click, carrying over all the line items and amounts.

Question 2

Can I record expenses in foreign currencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes! When creating an expense, select the currency from the dropdown. Enter the exchange rate and OneBookPlus calculates the AUD equivalent. This is useful for overseas purchases, software subscriptions billed in USD, or international travel.

Question 3

Can I import my existing contacts?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Go to Settings → Import, select "Contacts", upload a CSV file, map the columns, and import. This is perfect for migrating from another tool like Xero, MYOB, or a spreadsheet.

Question 4

Does OneBookPlus handle GST automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes! When creating an invoice, choose whether prices are GST-inclusive or GST-exclusive. OneBookPlus calculates the 10% GST automatically on each line item and displays the subtotal, GST amount, and total. This information also flows into your accounting reports and BAS preparation.

Question 5

Can clients book appointments without an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Your public booking page (onebookplus.com.au/book/your-slug) allows anyone to book without creating an account. They simply choose a service, pick a date and time, enter their name and contact details, and confirm.

Question 6

What financial year does OneBookPlus use?

Accepted Answer

OneBookPlus uses the Australian financial year (1 July to 30 June). All quarterly reports align to this: Q1 is July–September, Q2 is October–December, Q3 is January–March, and Q4 is April–June.

Question 7

Is OneBookPlus free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! OneBookPlus offers a free plan that includes basic invoicing, contacts, and bookings. You can upgrade to a paid plan anytime for more features and higher limits. No credit card is required to sign up.

Question 8

Do I need a special device for the POS?

Accepted Answer

No. The OneBookPlus POS runs in your web browser — it works on any tablet, laptop, or desktop. For the best experience, we recommend an iPad or Android tablet. No special hardware required.
