What Cord is
Cord is a platform for creating quotes, managing collections, issuing invoices, and taking payments in one workflow. Clients can review, approve, reject, negotiate, or pay through a public link without creating an account. Quote tools include negotiated line-item prices, volume discounts, Cash, Net 30, and Net 60 terms, with live tax recalculation. Cord also offers e-signatures, activity tracking, analytics, recurring invoices, cash-flow forecasting, and multi-currency quoting. Businesses can collect card payments, or SPEI transfers in Mexico, from quotes or invoices. Cord issues CFDI 4.0 invoices in Mexico; elsewhere it provides commercial invoices with sequential numbering and PDF documentation rather than local tax-authority stamps. Integrations include HubSpot, Mercado Pago, Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp Business, Zapier, Make, and n8n, alongside a REST API and signed webhooks. The Free plan costs nothing and includes five active quotes, five quote sends monthly, 50 products, 50 clients, three AI generations, and 10 commercial invoices monthly; quotes retain Cord branding. Starter costs 240 MXN a month billed yearly, with displayed prices including tax.
