Get paid faster with smart incentives
Offering a small discount for early payment is a proven strategy to reduce days sales outstanding (DSO) and improve your liquidity. A common term is 2/10 net 30: the client gets a 2% discount if they pay within 10 days, otherwise the full amount is due in 30.
Invoice My Clients makes it easy to configure and manage these discounts. Set default terms once and they apply automatically, or override them per invoice when you need an exception.
