Payment Terms That Actually Get You Paid
Net 15, due on receipt, deposits — clear terms reduce late payments. Put them on every invoice you send.
Write terms before you start the work
Agree on Due on Receipt, Net 7, or Net 15 in your quote or contract — not only on the final invoice. Clients pay faster when expectations are clear early.
Add terms on the invoice
In AI Invoice Generator, set the due date and note your payment method (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.) in the notes field. Specific beats vague every time.
Follow up on schedule
If payment is late, send a polite reminder with the invoice PDF attached again. Consistent follow-up is part of a healthy invoice-to-cash process.
