Automatic payment reminders for contractors
If you invoice after every job, you already know the hard part is not the work — it is getting paid on time. Automatic reminders fix the follow-up without you sending texts at 9pm.
What “automatic” should mean
- Fixed schedule — same timing every invoice (before due, due day, +3, +7, +14).
- Stops when paid — one mark-paid action cancels future emails.
- Business tone — short, professional, one pay link.
- Works beside QuickBooks or Wave — you still create invoices there; reminders are separate.
Manual vs automated
Manual chase works for 1–2 late clients. Automation pays off when you have 5+ open invoices or repeat late payers — you stop re-deciding when to follow up.
Recommended 5-step sequence
- 3 days before due — friendly heads-up
- Due date — “due today” with pay link
- +3, +7, +14 overdue — polite escalation
