Get paid

This section shows you how to bill a client through the V3 API: create and send an invoice, get it
paid, and track it until the money lands. It covers both sides of the exchange. The contractor or
business that issues the invoice (the payee) works with the Invoice resource. The business that
pays it (the payer) sees the same obligation as a Payable if it has its own Wingspan Account, or
through a limited payment page if it doesn't.

If you're paying contractors rather than billing clients, start with
Send payments instead.
