The single biggest factor in getting paid on time is sending your invoice promptly. Research consistently shows that invoices sent within 24 hours of project completion are paid significantly faster than those sent days or weeks later.
When your work is fresh in the client's mind, they're most likely to approve and process payment quickly. Delays create opportunities for invoices to get lost, deprioritised, or forgotten.
Invoice on the day of delivery. Use templated invoices for speed. Set up automated reminders to handle follow-up. Include clear payment terms and bank details on every invoice.
Once you've sent the invoice, let Paidly handle the rest. Automated reminders ensure consistent, professional follow-up without any effort from you.
