Reminders

Selling goods on credit is a common practice in most businesses. While transacting on credit helps increase sales, it is important that businesses keep proper track of such transactions and remind their customers to pay back before their due date.

Zoho Billing lets you send emails to your customers to remind them to make payments for their invoices. You can send invoices manually or automate the process and start collecting payments quicker.

Configure Manual Reminders for Invoices

You will be able to send email reminders to customers for whom you have created an invoice. There are two cases where you can send them a reminder:

1.Reminders for Overdue Invoices: Send emails to remind customers to make payments for overdue invoices in case theyโ€™ve missed the due date.

2.Reminders for Sent Invoices: Send reminders to customers to know that their due dates are approaching.
