QuickBooks Online Automatic Invoice Reminder Emails [Video]

Note: Automated Invoice reminder emails are set up differently in QuickBooks Online Plus, QuickBooks Online Advanced, and QuickBooks Desktop. These videos go through the two different avenues to send automated reminders to your customer when their payment is due on the QuickBooks Online platform. I will add another post with the QuickBooks Desktop method soon.

QuickBooks Online Plus Reminders are below:

These videos go over how to do automated invoice reminders in QuickBooks Online. In this video we go over how to automatically remind your customers of past due invoices on an automated schedule. Go automation! Make your day easier by following an easy process.

Keep in mind that in QuickBooks Online Plus you use PREFERENCES (Gear - Account and Settings - Sales). In QuickBooks Online Advanced you use the WORKFLOWS feature. Always make these reminders with your invoice due dates in mind. If your invoices are due upon receipt, obviously you don't want to set any reminders up to go out BEFORE the due date. If you have a net 30 due date with late fees applied, sending out a reminder just ahead of the due date saves your customers money and will give them a little incentive to pay their bill. I mention this a few times, but many consultants recommend setting a due date with a number. Saying "Due Upon Receipt" is ambiguous and could cause your customers to wait longer to pay. That being said, if you use Due Upon Receipt then just keep this in mind when setting reminders.
