Already paid? One tap tells you, and reminders pause.

I never follow up on invoices, it feels awkward.
Lost money from forgotten follow-ups, not bad customers.
How do I chase an invoice without being annoying?

Friendly, scheduled reminders do the awkward part for you.

Set it once. Get paid.

Add the invoice after the job. FollowUpBills does the awkward part.

Policy, not you chasing

Reminders come from your billing system.

Overdue reminders quote your payment terms and come from "your billing system". Same process for every customer, so nobody takes it personally.

Your customer taps Pay. It stops.

Every reminder links to a simple page with the amount, your pay link and your number. Mark it paid and nothing else goes out.

Questions.

Do my customers need to download anything?
No. They get a normal text or email with a link to a simple page showing the invoice, your pay link and your phone number. Nothing to install, no account to make.
Does FollowUpBills take payments?
No. Paste your own pay link (Stripe, Square, QuickBooks, PayPal, anything) when you add the invoice. The money goes straight to you. We only send the reminders.
How do the reminders stop?
Mark the invoice paid with one tap, and nothing else goes out. If your customer taps "I've already paid" on their page, reminders pause and you get an email to check.
When do reminders go out?
Between 9am and 6pm in your time zone, Monday to Saturday. Never at night, never on Sunday.
Can I go easy on my regulars?
Yes. Set a customer to gentle and they only get the softer steps, or turn reminders off for them completely. You can also skip any step on a single invoice.
Is it OK to text my customers?
Only customers who agreed to texts get them, and you confirm that when you add them. Every text names your business and ends with "Reply STOP to opt out". We handle opt outs for you.

Get paid on time.
