When you send an estimate or invoice, you’ll now see an option to attach the PDF version to the email that Ballpark sends to your client. Many clients like having a PDF copy saved for their records, and now they can receive it along with their link to view it online.

Ballpark Update
We’re happy to announce the launch of a brand new version of Ballpark as of late Monday night. The new version features a complete ground-up rewrite of all of the code that Ballpark runs on. It was quite an ambitious goal, but the effort definitely paid off.
Our primary goal was to improve speed and reliability. We also improved consistency throughout the code that will make it easier for us to...

Simple Invoice
Although we’re rather fond of the distinctive style of Ballpark, we wanted to provide our users with a pared down, minimal alternative to the “Airmail” style template. For those who would prefer a neutral aesthetic for their invoices and estimates, you can now use the “Simple” template.
If you’d like to make the switch, just head to your account’s...

Custom Domains for Ballpark
The team has heard the call for a more personalized and brand consistent experience with Ballpark, and one of the most professional touches you can present to a client is your own domain name. Head to the Settings screen of your account, and you’ll find a new Custom Domain tab where you can get started.
There are a couple of caveats to bear in mind with this new feature. One is that SSL...

New Feature: Totally Revamped Client View
We just pushed one of the biggest changes to Ballpark yet, a completely redesigned client view. The client view is what a client sees when you send an invoice or estimate. When we started building Ballpark last year, we were simply going to send invoices and estimates as PDFs attachments via email. As a result of this, the web-based client was an afterthought, a stopgap that we threw together...

Recurring Invoicing
Recurring invoices make it easy to automatically send clients an invoice on a weekly or monthly schedule. For instance, if you work on a monthly retainer, Ballpark can automatically send your client an invoice for that month’s hours each month....
