Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent clients from ghosting me after I send the final mix?
By using a digital invoice with integrated payments, you can require a 50% deposit upfront and set the system to only release the final high-resolution files once the remaining balance is cleared.
What should I do if a client asks for endless revisions without more pay?
Your digital invoice should clearly list the number of included revisions; any work beyond that can be added as a real-time line item update, ensuring you are compensated for every extra hour spent in the DAW.
Is there a way to collect payment while I'm still in the studio?
Yes, digital invoicing allows you to send a payment link via text or email that the client can pay instantly via credit card or Apple Pay on their phone, securing your cash flow before they leave the building.
