Tip 1 – due date

Most businesses add the date that they raise their invoice but many do not also include a due date.  Adding a specific due date to an invoice can help your customer to plan the date they will pay you.  Also the latest date that you should be paid will be clearer.

Tip 2 – online payments

Can you offer online payments such as Paypal and Stripe? If so, your customer can pay you quicker from a mobile device or as soon as they open your invoice on their computer.

Tip 3 – incorporate your terms

Refer to your business terms and conditions on every invoice, in particular the fact that there is a penalty for late payments.  Wanting to avoid a late payment penalty can be an incentive to customers to pay on time.
