Following up customers for payment can be a time consuming chore.

But you can save time and effort and get paid faster by setting up AccountRight to automatically email your customers a list of unpaid invoices each month. This is a great way to remind your customers to pay you—without you needing to lift a finger.

If you use unpaid invoice summaries, along with automatic reminder emails for individual invoices, AccountRight does the work of chasing up customer payments for you.

How it works

Once you've switched on unpaid invoice summaries, your customers will be emailed a list of their unpaid invoices on the 3rd of every month. You can choose to send this list to all of your customers or selected ones.

Unpaid invoice summaries are sent for all open recorded invoices. This includes invoices you haven't yet printed or emailed. If you want to prevent a customer getting an unpaid invoice summary before they receive an invoice, you can easily turn off unpaid invoice summaries.

We'll show you how to turn on unpaid invoice summaries for all or selected customers. Also find out what unpaid invoice summaries look to your customers.
