Automatic payment reminders and late fees

Late payment is the most common complaint we hear from creators and freelancers. Sending the fourth “just following up” message is awkward. PlanBrix does the following up for you, politely and on schedule.

  1. Invoice sent

    10 Apr

    Emailed as Nimali Studio via PlanBrix. Replies come to you.

  2. Reminder on the due date

    24 Apr

    A short, polite note with the invoice attached.

  3. Overdue reminder

    1 May

    7 days after the due date. You choose the timing.

  4. Late fee added: LKR 2,500

    2 May

    Only if your terms include one.

  5. Paid

    5 May

    You record the payment. Reminders stop.

Example

Reminders that go out on their own

Turn on automatic reminders and PlanBrix emails your client before the due date, on the day and after it passes. You can switch reminders off for any single invoice when a client has already told you the payment is on the way.

Late fees you decide, stated up front

Set a fixed amount or a percentage, a grace period and how often it applies. The terms are printed on the invoice, so nothing comes as a surprise, and you can waive a fee with one click.

Every payment in one place

Record full or part payments by bank transfer, cash or card. The invoice updates its balance and status, and your dashboard shows what is outstanding across all clients.

  • Part payments and balances
  • Overdue list across all clients
  • Payment history per invoice

Your clients still pay you directly

PlanBrix does not sit between you and your money. Clients pay into your bank account the way they already do. PlanBrix only tracks it and reminds them.

Frequently asked questions

Will reminders annoy my clients?

The emails are short and polite, and they only go to invoices that are actually unpaid. Most clients appreciate a clear reminder more than an awkward message.

Is it legal to charge a late fee?

Late fees are generally enforceable when they were agreed before the work started. Put your late-fee terms in your quote or contract, and PlanBrix will print them on the invoice.

Which plan includes automatic reminders?

Manual reminders and late fees are included on Pro. Fully automatic reminders and automatic late fees are part of Premium.

Does PlanBrix collect payments for me?

No. Your client pays you directly. PlanBrix records the payment and stops the reminders once the invoice is paid.
