Agree terms before the invoice
Payment on receipt, 7 days, 14 days and 30 days are common commercial choices, but local law or a contract can set different rules.
Use an actual due date
A concrete date is easier for the customer to process than a vague phrase and makes overdue tracking more consistent.
Know the default rules in your market
For example, UK guidance says that when no payment date has been agreed, a payment can become late 30 days after the customer receives the invoice or the goods or service, depending on the circumstances.
Track what remains unpaid
Invocket can show due dates, recorded payments and outstanding balances so you can see which invoices need attention.
