Hi Sam,
Hope your week is going well. Just a friendly reminder that invoice #1042 for $1,250 was due on June 2. You can pay here: Pay invoice.
If it's already on its way, thank you, and please ignore this.

No. Messages are short, polite and signed with your name. During your pilot you approve every one before it goes out. After that you choose: keep approving, or let them send on schedule. There are only three reminders over two weeks, with no threats and no collections language.
No. On the Pay-for-results plan, the 10% is charged once per recovered invoice. It only applies to invoices that were already past due when follow-ups started, and never to invoices paid on time.
Follow-ups stop when they pay or reply. A payment shows up in your invoicing tool, and a reply like "already paid" is flagged to you to confirm.
Only what follow-ups need: invoice numbers, amounts, due dates, payment status and client contact details, with read-only access wherever your invoicing tool offers it. We never sell your data or use it for advertising. Your clients hear only about your invoices, in messages you've approved. You can disconnect any time and ask us to delete your data by emailing [email protected]. If you don't continue after the pilot, access is removed and your data is deleted within 30 days. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
Works with Stripe. QuickBooks, FreshBooks and Xero coming soon. Tell us your tool in the pilot request and we'll confirm it's ready before you start. You keep invoicing exactly the way you do now.
