Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to send invoice payment reminders?

Best practice is a 4-to-5 stage schedule: (1) 3–5 days before due date (friendly heads-up), (2) on the due date (payment due today), (3) 3–7 days overdue (polite follow-up), (4) 14 days overdue (firm request with late fee notice), and (5) 30 days overdue (formal final demand).

Can I export this schedule to Google Calendar or Outlook?

Yes! The tool generates an iCalendar (.ics) file directly in your browser. When downloaded, you can import it into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Microsoft Outlook.
