The time spent chasing clients for payments is over! With automated payment reminders, you stay on top of your finances by automatically sending invoice reminders to clients. Automated payment reminders ensure you get paid faster and improve cash flow.
We are currently working on rolling out this option for you in our intelligent invoicing software. Automated payment reminders will give you more control over payments and will free up administrative time.
Automatically send payment reminders with every invoice
Manual payment reminders, where you have to go around and remind every customer to pay their invoice is tedious and unproductive. With Conta, unpaid invoices can be automatically followed up with payment reminders, saving you time and reducing losses. And if you ever need to make changes to your reminders, our invoicing software makes it easy to do so.
Understanding the value of a payment reminder
The purpose of payment reminders is to persuade clients to pay on time to prevent late fees, interest charges, or service suspension. Automated payment reminders are therefore of value to both you as a business and to the client. You receive prompt and reliable payment and the client avoids extra fees.
What is a payment reminder?
A payment reminder is a notification delivered to customers to remind them of padu-due or unpaid bills. Reminders can be sent via email, text, phone calls, or even physical letters.
What should payment reminders include?
In most cases, they include information on the amount due, the due date, and any associated fines or feeds. In addition, you can include a personal note and the original invoice as an attachment.

With Conta, you can send payment reminders both manually and automatically.

Payment reminders can be an effective tool in helping you get paid. By automatically sending timely reminders to your customers, Conta can help you prompt them to make a payment and reduce the likelihood of overdue and missed payments.
An automated payment reminder benefits all
Automated reminders can also help you get paid by making it easier for your customers to pay. For instance, you can include step-by-step instructions on how to make a payment or have a payment link. This might lessen the friction involved in the payment process and increase the likelihood that your customer will pay on time.
Friendly payment reminders are key
Finally, reminding consumers to make payments might also help you build a good rapport with them.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a gentle reminder for payment?
You want to be friendly in your personal note when you are sending out payment reminders. The opening should start with a well-wishing, where you express that this is a friendly reminder to pay an outstanding invoice. Remember to be precise and include due date, invoice number, and the product or service in question in the body. Mention the payment options with instructions for each as well. Conclude by thanking them and including contact information.
An outstanding invoice is a payment that a customer has yet to pay. It is still awaiting some form of payment, for whatever reason, where a payment reminder alerts the client to the issue.
How do I create an invoice reminder?
When using Conta you can easily create invoice reminders either manually or automatically.
