Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle clients who delay payment until the entire system is deployed?
Digital invoicing allows you to set milestone-based billing, ensuring you get paid as each architectural phase is completed rather than waiting for a distant launch date.
Should I charge a deposit for high-level architectural discovery sessions?
Absolutely; using a digital invoice to collect an upfront deposit ensures the client is financially committed before you spend hours on deep technical analysis.
What's the best way to handle scope creep that isn't in the original contract?
Digital invoicing platforms let you quickly add and send supplemental invoices for 'Change Requests,' securing immediate payment for work outside the initial architectural scope.
