Frequently Asked Questions

How can I prevent clients from ghosting me before the final payment?

Digital invoices allow you to set automated payment reminders and require a final balance payment before the delivery of high-resolution, watermark-free files, ensuring you stay in control of the assets.

What is the best way to handle 'scope creep' and extra revision requests?

By using a digital template that clearly lists your included revision count, you can easily add supplemental line items for extra work, making it clear to the client that additional frames equal additional fees.

Is there a way to get paid faster than waiting for a mailed check?

Yes, using a digital invoice with integrated payment buttons allows clients to pay via credit card or ACH instantly, often reducing the payment cycle from 30 days to less than 24 hours.
