Sending reminders requires membership. A client text follows your explicit “still unpaid” confirmation; silence does not trigger one.
Before you send any invoice
Your name and a way to reach you. A business name if you use one, plus an email or phone.
Who is paying. The client or company, and a contact person if it is a business.
A unique invoice number. Any consistent scheme works, such as a prefix and a sequence.
Issue date and due date. Payment terms like Net 15 only help if the date is clear.
Line items a stranger could understand. What was done, how much, and at what rate.
How to pay you. The exact payment methods and handles you accept.
Totals that add up. Check quantity times rate on every line. Ask a tax professional whether sales tax applies to your work.
