Payment reminder FAQ

How do I politely ask for payment?

Keep it short, friendly, and specific. Reference the invoice number and amount, assume the best (it may just be an oversight), and make it easy to pay with a clear due date and a payment link. Only firm up the tone if earlier reminders go unanswered.

When should I send a payment reminder?

Send a friendly nudge a day or two before the due date or right on it, a firmer reminder a few days after it's overdue, and a final notice around 14–30 days late — before you mention late fees or next steps.

What if they still don't pay?

Switch to the final-notice tone, restate the amount and due date, and give a firm deadline plus the next step (late fees, pausing work, or collections). Calm, consistent follow-up is what gets most invoices paid — which is exactly what PaidPilot automates.
