Payment reminder emails — before and after the due date
A good payment reminder is short, specific, and easy to act on. docstoc gives you free templates for every stage plus AI drafts when you want the wording done for you.
Before the due date
A reminder a week before payment is due prevents most late payments. It is not a chase — it is a courtesy nudge with invoice number, amount, and pay link. See our payment reminder before due date template.
After the due date
Once an invoice is overdue, tone matters. Start gentle at 1–3 days, then escalate at 7, 30, and 60 days. docstoc matches tone automatically, or browse the free template library.
