Frequently Asked Questions
How can I stop clients from pushing me to Net-60 or Net-90 payment terms?
Digital invoicing levels the playing field by allowing you to establish 'Payment Due Upon Receipt' as the default. By providing an instant 'Pay Now' button via credit card or ACH, you eliminate the administrative lag of corporate check-cutting cycles.
Is it better to bill for technical writing at the end of the project or in stages?
To maintain healthy cash flow, you should use digital invoices to bill at predefined milestones, such as 'Draft Approval' or 'SME Review Completion.' This ensures you are paid for work performed in real-time rather than waiting months for a final sign-off.
How do I handle clients who claim they never received my invoice?
Using a digital invoicing platform provides you with 'read receipts' and tracking data. This transparency eliminates the 'lost in the mail' excuse and allows the system to send automated, professional reminders until the balance is cleared.
