Example

Monthly design retainer

Illustrative sequence · first overdue delay: 3 days

  1. Before send

    Preview the PDF and test the email

  2. Send day

    Invoice PDF delivered to your client

  3. Due date

    Payment deadline; no automatic email

  4. 3 days overdue

    First overdue reminder

  5. 7 days overdue

    Final reminder, unless paid or paused

Scheduled sends run automatically. Mark payment recorded to stop reminders.

A repeatable billing routine

Less remembering. A clear next step for every invoice.

Step 1

Create and preview

Add your client, line items, due date, and payment instructions in InvoiceAgent. Preview the PDF and send yourself a test email before scheduling.

Step 2

Schedule and follow up

Choose when the invoice sends and enable reminders. The first reminder runs after your chosen overdue delay; the final reminder follows four days later.

Step 3

Record payment or pause

Mark the invoice paid to stop further reminders. If a client disputes a charge or agrees a new date, pause follow-up while you resolve it.

Where it fits: Create and send these invoices in InvoiceAgent. Keep your accounting software for bookkeeping. Stripe and QuickBooks invoices do not automatically import or sync here.

Before you start

Know what to expect.

Can I keep my accounting software?

Yes. Keep using it for your books, tax, and reporting. You create the invoices you want to schedule here in InvoiceAgent. There is currently no automatic import or synchronization of invoices from Stripe or QuickBooks.

Will I need to approve every automatic send?

No. Preview and test-send are available before you schedule. Once scheduled, the invoice sends automatically without another approval. Recurring runs also send automatically; check upcoming invoices and stop the recurrence if needed.

How do clients pay, and how do reminders stop?

Add bank instructions or a hosted payment link from your provider. InvoiceAgent does not process client payments. Mark an invoice paid after confirming payment to stop reminders. A payment link alone does not automatically update its status.

Does InvoiceAgent replace Stripe or QuickBooks reminders?

Those tools already offer reminders. InvoiceAgent is worth evaluating if you want invoice creation, scheduled PDF delivery, recurring runs, tracked-time imports, and follow-up in one focused workflow. If your current setup already handles those jobs well, you may not need another tool.

Can I invoice clients in another currency?

Yes. Choose the source and target currencies. When conversion is enabled, the final invoice uses the available exchange rate at send time. Agree that currency policy with your client first: a preview amount can change, and conversion does not guarantee a better rate.

What should I try in the seven-day trial?

Create an invoice, check the PDF, send a test email to yourself, and choose a real send date when you are ready. Check the reminder schedule and pause controls. No credit card is required; you can decide whether to buy after trying the workflow.

Invoice records are scoped to your signed-in account. Subscription checkout is handled by our payment provider. Read our privacy policy and terms of use.
