HOW IT WORKS

From first invoice to paid in 4 steps

Works however your clients pay upfront, milestone, or after delivery.

STEP 01

Create Invoice

Build a branded invoice with your services, rates, and payment terms. Takes 60 seconds.

STEP 02

Get Paid Your Way

Request a deposit before you start, bill in milestones, or invoice after delivery. Your workflow, your terms.

STEP 03

Track Every Payment

Whether clients pay upfront, in milestones, or after delivery every payment auto-updates the balance. See exactly what's paid and what's outstanding.

STEP 04

Get Paid

Settle invoices from the client's deposit balance instantly. No reminders, no chasing, no Excel.

Unpaid revisions and late article payments

Writing content without payment security, dealing with endless revision rounds, and chasing clients for past-due invoices causes stress and disrupts your budget.

Prepaid content deposits & log tracking

Have clients fund a prepaid content deposit. Track your writing, editing, and research hours, and settle invoices instantly from their deposit.
