Clients being late on a payment can be a real hassle, not only is having to collect payment tedious, but collecting a payment late may force you to incur unexpected expenses. With Late Fees on Invoices, you can ensure the burden is not solely carried by your business and that customers are motivated to complete payment on time.

⭐️Why Is This Feature Beneficial To Your Business?

  • Payment Motivator: By disclaiming to customers that additional fees will be charged for late payment you create a great motivator, that gets customers to stick to the Invoice’s due date and avoid the added expense.

  • Cost Efficiency: This allows you to pass any extra expenses you may incur for the lateness directly to the customer responsible for them, keeping your bottom line safe.

  • Greater Flexibility: By charging late fees you can also offer more payment incentives such as discounts on timely payments that get taken away in the form of late fees once the Invoice reaches its due date.

⭐️How To Use Late Fees on Invoices:

  1. Navigate to the Invoice Tab in the Payment Section and click on Settings.
