What Pepper covers
Pepper is a self-hosted installation for one business. It includes invoices, quotes, fixed-price engagements, reminders, recorded payments, manual purchases and accountant exports. The source code is included under the license.
Pepper does not include time tracking, a customer login portal or card checkout. It can send a signed quote-response link and print bank details or an eligible EPC QR code on an invoice.
Compare those steps with the current Zoho Invoice limits and terms. Pepper has no Zoho migration tool. Test the complete workflow with sample data before moving live work.
