Automatic payment reminders for overdue invoices

Nobody became a freelancer to write "just checking in" e-mails. Lumio chases late payers for you, politely and on schedule, and stops the moment the money arrives.

When reminders are sent

Lumio follows up on an unpaid invoice 3, 7 and 14 days after its due date, on a fixed schedule, so never more than three times. You do not write any of the e-mails yourself. Each one carries the Pay now button and a copy of the original document.

Polite by default, yours to edit

The three messages get firmer in steps: a friendly nudge, a clear request, a final notice. Rewrite any of them in your own voice, or switch them off for a client who always pays, just late.

They stop when the client pays

As soon as a payment is recorded, by card or by a transfer you mark as received, the remaining messages are cancelled. No client is chased for money they already sent.

Still unpaid after the final notice?

Our late payment guide covers what to do next, from a phone call to a formal notice. For clients on a retainer, pair reminders with recurring invoices.

Which plans have it

Automatic payment reminders are part of Lumio Pro and Lumio Team. The rule is written in clause T-4.7 of the terms of service.
