Customer relationships

Manage the whole client relationship,
not just the invoice.

Client CRM profiles

Each client can show contact information, invoice history, lifetime revenue, average payment time, notes, documents, contracts, payment methods, and tags.

Private client portal

Customers can view invoices, pay online, download receipts, approve estimates, review prior payments, sign contract links, and message the business.

Business dashboard

Owners can see monthly and yearly revenue, outstanding and overdue invoices, average days to get paid, top customers, best months, success rate, and cash flow.

Automated follow-ups

Reminder stages can run 3 days before due, due today, 3 days late, 7 days late, 14 days late, and final notice.

Contracts, receipts, and reviews

Track quote, contract, signature, deposit, invoice, and final payment, then generate receipts and send review links after payment.

Workspace controls

Dark mode, custom branding, company logo, teams, multiple businesses, QR codes, templates, saved services/products, payment plans, refunds, multi-currency, and tax controls all have a home.

Industries

Templates for businesses
that invoice differently.

Highest priority

Service invoices

IT support, software developers, consultants, agencies, designers, and photographers can capture hours worked, hourly rate, project name, and service description.

Recurring

Subscription billing

Cleaning companies, lawn care, SaaS, maintenance contracts, and managed IT teams can record weekly, monthly, or yearly billing with auto-send and Stripe auto-pay notes.

Pre-sale

Estimates and quotes

Send a quote, let the client approve it from the status page, then convert it into a payable invoice without rebuilding the record.

Partial payment

Deposits and retainers

Contractors, freelancers, event planners, wedding photographers, agencies, lawyers, and consultants can show deposit due, remaining balance, and retainer scope.

Projects

Progress and construction

Construction and large projects can track percent complete, milestone draws, change orders, materials, equipment, labor, and subcontractor costs.

Operations

Products, PO, medical, legal, events, rentals

Support SKUs, quantities, inventory, shipping, sales tax, purchase orders, treatment codes, case numbers, event dates, guest counts, rental terms, and property fees.

Standout workflows

Features that make Paidly
feel purpose-built.

One-click quote approval

Estimate records open as quotes. When the client approves, the same page reloads as a payable invoice.

Recurring invoices and subscriptions

Capture cadence, next send date, auto-send preference, and Stripe auto-pay terms alongside the invoice.

Partial, deposit, and milestone payments

Show deposit due, remaining balance, percent complete, current draw, prior payments, and final payment details.

Client portal history

Every invoice page links to a customer portal showing that client’s invoices, open balances, and payment history.

Late fees, contracts, and expenses

Add late-fee policy, e-signature or contract link, reimbursable expenses, mileage, materials, and equipment rentals.

Plain-English invoice draft

Generate a starter invoice from a sentence, then edit the structured fields before sending.

FAQ

Common questions,
honest answers.

Does the client need a Paidly account?
No. The client receives a branded status page where they can review an invoice or quote, approve it, and pay without signing up.
What invoice types can I send?
The builder includes service, recurring, estimate, deposit, progress, retainer, time and materials, product, PO, medical, legal, real estate, construction, event, and rental templates.
Can I review the email before it goes out?
Yes. The invoice builder includes a live preview, dynamic industry fields, line items, and a seller-copy toggle before sending.
How does status tracking work?
Opening the client page marks invoices viewed. Clients can approve quotes, mark payment intent, dispute, or pay, and paid records update after Stripe confirms payment.
Can clients see payment history?
Yes. Every invoice page links to a client portal showing invoices, statuses, open balance, paid history, receipts, estimate approvals, contract notes, and messages for that relationship.
Can I track contracts, expenses, and late fees?
Yes. Templates include fields for contract links, e-signature status, reimbursable expenses, mileage, equipment, materials, tax, and late-fee policy.
Is this also a customer dashboard?
Yes. Paidly groups invoice records into client profiles with lifetime revenue, average payment speed, notes, documents, tags, outstanding balance, and portal access.
Can Paidly help with receipts and reviews?
Yes. Paid invoices can link to receipt pages, downloadable receipt files, and configurable Google, Facebook, or Yelp review links.
