Get Paid Faster With Tradify’s Automated Payment Reminders

by Team Tradify, May 6, 2024

It should be easy, right? A customer requests that you do a job. You do the job. You invoice the customer. You get paid...on-time.

Unfortunately, that’s often not the way it works. We know that many trade businesses spend way too much time chasing customers for payment which can really impact cash flow. It's a lot of time wasted that could be spent doing better things.

That’s why we have automated payment reminders, to help Tradify customers get paid faster.

“With the Tradify reminders, there has been a phenomenal improvement in my quote acceptance rates and I’m getting paid faster.”

1. Do I need to pay extra to get access to this feature?

No. We like to keep our pricing simple and straightforward. There are no volume limits on jobs.

2. How does it work?

Enable the payment reminder setting within your Tradify account to send automated payment reminders for any invoice sent out of Tradify. This means no more manual follow-ups. Customise your reminder message to add a personal touch. For example, you might want to include your company values.

Save admin time, get paid faster and let us send automated reminders to your customers:

  • 3 days before invoice due date
  • On invoice due date
  • 3 days after the invoice due date
  • 7 days after the invoice due date

To stop receiving payment reminders, customers can confirm they have paid with their invoice link containing a messaging space to mark the payment. Tradify users can also indicate payment has been made (eg: cash/cheque) in their account, themselves.
