I don't know if it's better to use On-Line billing or invoicing keeping in mind that I have to use British English.

On-line invoicing
Explanation:
If it is for the UK (British English) it is INVOICING. In England a "bill" is something that you pay straight away, on the spot: restaurant bill for ex.
For business, it is "invoicing", in you case "on-line invoicing", no need to mention anything else (VAT for ex. is NOT necessary bacause not every firm charges VAT)

billing


Explanation:
invoicing and billing, no matter the language, are two different things. Invoicing is simply providing a record of transactions. Billing is a request for payment. Facturación is akin to billing.
