How to Access
- Go to Settings > Payment Reminders.
Settings
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Reminders | Turn automatic payment reminders on or off | Off |
| Days After Due Date | How many days after the due date to send the first reminder | 3 days |
| Frequency | How often to send follow-up reminders after the first one | Every 7 days |
| Maximum Reminders | The total number of reminders to send per invoice | 3 |
How It Works
When reminders are enabled:
- An invoice becomes overdue (passes its due date while still in Sent status).
- After the configured number of days, the first reminder email is sent to the customer.
- If the invoice is still unpaid, follow-up reminders are sent at the configured frequency.
- Reminders stop after reaching the maximum count, or when the invoice is marked as paid.
Example
With default settings (3 days, every 7 days, max 3):
- Day 3 after due date — first reminder sent
- Day 10 — second reminder sent
- Day 17 — third and final reminder sent
Which Invoices Get Reminders
Reminders are only sent for invoices that:
- Have a Sent status (not Draft or Paid)
- Are past their due date
- Haven’t reached the maximum reminder count
Invoices without a due date, draft invoices, and paid invoices never receive reminders.
Enabling Reminders
- Go to Settings > Payment Reminders.
- Toggle Enable Reminders on.
- Adjust the timing settings if needed.
- Click Save Changes.
Reminders begin processing automatically — no additional action is needed on individual invoices.
Disabling Reminders
Toggle Enable Reminders off and click Save Changes. No further reminders will be sent for any invoice.
Tips
- Start with the default settings and adjust based on customer feedback.
- If you have a mix of customers — some who pay promptly and others who need nudges — reminders help you collect without manual follow-up.
- Review the Payment Reminders overview to see how reminders appear to your customers.
