Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop clients from ghosting me after I've already drawn their custom piece?

Digital invoicing allows you to bill for a 'Design Fee' or 'Drawing Deposit' before you start sketching, ensuring your creative labor is compensated regardless of the appointment outcome.

What should I do if a client claims they forgot their cash or card at the end of a long session?

By using a digital invoice, you can text a secure 'Pay Now' link directly to their phone, allowing them to pay via credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay instantly before they leave your chair.

How can I better defend myself against credit card chargebacks or payment disputes?

Digital invoices provide a professional paper trail with detailed line items and timestamped receipts, giving you a documented record of the agreed-upon price and completed service.
