Ask for a deposit before you start, as a percentage or a fixed amount with its own due date. Or split a bigger invoice into a milestone payment plan of two or more instalments. Sendinvo chases each stage in turn, and your client pays online by card.
Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.
On any draft invoice, ask for a deposit or split the total into a payment plan. It’s one or the other, and a plan’s first instalment can act as the deposit.
A deposit is a percentage or a fixed amount with its own due date. A plan is two or more instalments, each with its own amount and due date, that add up to the total.
The invoice shows the deposit and the remaining balance side by side. Your client pays the deposit, or the next instalment due, by card online.
Reminders follow the money: the deposit first, then the balance once it’s in, or one instalment at a time, re-pointing to the next as each payment lands.
A deposit protects you before the work starts. A payment plan makes a bigger bill easier to say yes to. Both keep the whole job on a single invoice, so there’s nothing to reconcile by hand.
Ask for a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, give it its own due date, and it shows on the invoice next to the remaining balance. Deposits are part of Sendinvo’s standard invoicing and use nothing beyond your normal free-invoice allowance.
Split an invoice into two or more instalments, each with its own amount and due date, all adding up to the total. Sendinvo chases one instalment at a time, the next one due, and re-points to the following instalment as each payment lands. Payment plans are a paid-plan feature, and a plan can only be set while the invoice is still a draft.
You don’t chase anything by hand. Our invoice reminders go after the deposit first, then the balance, or one instalment at a time, so every nudge shows the amount that’s actually due right now, never a figure that’s already been paid.
On the pay page your client settles the deposit or the next instalment with card payments, and the invoice updates itself. It suits deposit-led work like wedding and events suppliers, where a booking deposit holds the date and the balance falls due nearer the day.
Sendinvo chases one instalment at a time, then moves to the next as each payment lands.
A deposit is a single amount you ask for up front, a percentage or a fixed sum, with its own due date, shown next to the remaining balance. A payment plan splits the whole invoice into two or more instalments that add up to the total. You can use one or the other on an invoice, not both, though a plan’s first instalment can act as the deposit.
You split a draft invoice into two or more instalments, each with its own amount and due date, adding up to the total. Sendinvo chases one instalment at a time, the next one due, and re-points to the following instalment as each payment lands. A plan can only be set while the invoice is still a draft.
Yes. On the pay page your client can settle the deposit, or the next instalment due, by card through Stripe, and the invoice updates itself. They pay the exact amount that’s due at that stage, not a penny more.
Deposits are part of Sendinvo’s standard invoicing and use nothing beyond your normal free-invoice allowance. Payment plans are a paid-plan feature. Either way, you can send your first three invoices free before deciding on a subscription.
No. CIS invoices can’t combine with a deposit or a payment plan. On a standard invoice you can use either, but not both at once, since a plan’s first instalment already does the job of a deposit.
Ask for a deposit up front, or split a bigger job into milestones, and let Sendinvo chase each stage for you.
