How to Automate Payment Reminders

How to Automate Payment Reminders

Chasing overdue invoices manually is tedious and uncomfortable. Automated reminders do the work for you consistently and politely.

Build a reminder schedule

Combine pre-due and post-due reminders so clients are never surprised.

  • 3 days before the due date.
  • On the due date.
  • 7, 14 and 30 days after.
💡

Pro Tip

Use placeholders so each reminder automatically includes the customer name, invoice number and balance.

Write reminders people respond to

Keep them short, friendly and specific. Include the invoice number, amount and a clear way to pay.

Set up reminders once and let InvoiceSmarty handle the follow-up.
