Understand Contact Email vs Company Email for Invoicing

Learn the difference between Contact Email and Company Email in Hoops, and how each is used during invoicing. Understand where invoices are sent, how billing communications are handled, and how to ensure the right people receive important documents.

Hoops allows businesses to store both a Company Email Address and separate Contact Email Addresses against the same customer account. This provides greater flexibility when managing customer communication and invoicing workflows.

This distinction is especially important for businesses where invoices need to be sent to a centralized accounts or finance department rather than the day-to-day customer contact.


Company Email vs Contact Email

When creating invoices, Hoops allows users to choose whether the invoice should be sent to:

  • The Company Email Address

  • A specific Contact Email Address

  • Accounts departments

  • Shared finance inboxes

  • Centralized invoice processing

Whereas Contact Email Addresses are typically used for:

  • Sales communication

  • Quote approvals

  • Project management

  • Day-to-day customer interaction

This flexibility helps ensure invoices are delivered to the correct recipient without affecting other customer communication workflows.
