View invoice status

1. Go to Invoices
2. See status badges on each invoice
3. Filter by status to focus on specific invoices

Filter by status

Click status filters to see:

• Unpaid: All outstanding invoices
• Overdue: Need immediate attention
• Paid: Completed invoices

Mark as paid

When you receive payment outside of Stripe:

1. Open the invoice
2. Click Mark as paid
3. Optionally add payment date and method

This updates your records without requiring online payment.

Send reminders

For overdue invoices:

2. Click Send reminder
3. A reminder email is sent to your customer

Be professional but persistent. A friendly reminder often does the trick.

When overdue

• Send a reminder within a few days
• Follow up by phone or email for large amounts
• Consider payment plans for long-standing invoices

General tips
