Capture supplier invoices with GetBill

The invoices you receive usually arrive by email. GetBill watches a mailbox, spots invoice attachments, reads the key details, and hands them to you to review, so the cost side of your books fills itself in.

GetBill runs in the Windows desktop app only, on the Pro plan or higher, for owners and admins.

Connect a mailbox

  1. On the desktop app, open Settings and go to the GetBill tab.
  2. Enter the mailbox’s e-mail address and password — the app looks up the server (Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud need an app password) — or sign in with Microsoft 365.
  3. Choose the folder to watch, and add trusted senders if you like.

Review what it finds

  1. Open GetBill in the app. Invoice detection lists the attachments it found, ready for review.
  2. In the PDF parser, check the details it read (supplier, amounts, VAT, dates) against the document on screen.
  3. Confirm to file each one as a document.
Is GetBill on my phone too?

No. Mailbox capture runs only in the Windows desktop app, on the Pro plan or higher.

Is my review queue synced across devices?

Yes. The review queue is stored with your account, so every computer you sign in on shows the same queue. An invoice you file on one computer shows as filed on all of them.

How do I get a Google app password?

First turn on 2-step verification in your Google Account. Then open myaccount.google.com/apppasswords, type the name BucketBill and click Create. Google shows 16 letters once; enter them in the password field of the mailbox card. In a company Google Workspace account the administrator may have turned app passwords off.

How do I get an Apple (iCloud) app-specific password?

My GMX or WEB.DE password is refused. Why?

GMX and WEB.DE turn off POP3/IMAP access by default: turn it on in the email settings under POP3/IMAP, then connect again with your normal password. If you use two-factor authentication there, mail programs need an app password instead: create one under Account, Login & Sicherheit, App-Passwörter.
