Frequently asked questions
When should I send a payment reminder?
A friendly nudge a few days after the due date is normal and rarely damages the relationship. If it stays unpaid, escalate to a firm reminder around two weeks late, and a final notice once it is well overdue, before you consider collection or legal steps.
What is the difference between the friendly, firm and final tones?
Friendly is a polite reminder that assumes the invoice was simply missed. Firm is a clear, direct request for payment with a short deadline. Final is a last notice that warns about further action, such as suspending service or pursuing collection, if payment is not received.
Can I add a late fee?
Yes. If you enter a late fee, the reminder adds a line stating that the fee has been applied to the overdue balance. Only charge a late fee if your contract or invoice terms allow it and it is permitted where you operate.
Is my invoice data sent to a server?
No. The reminder is built entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Names, amounts and invoice numbers never leave your device, are not uploaded, and are not stored anywhere.
Does this reminder make my invoice legally enforceable?
No. The reminder is a professional letter that requests payment and documents the overdue status. It is not legal advice and does not create or replace a contract. For serious debts, speak to a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.
Can I edit the wording before sending?
Absolutely. Copy the text into your email client or a document and adjust it to fit your situation, payment terms and the client relationship before you send it.
