Introduction to CanYouPayThat
CanYouPayThat is a simple and fast invoice management solution designed specifically for freelancers and agencies. It helps users get invoices paid without the need for constant client chasing. By using automated follow-ups, the platform streamlines the invoicing process and ensures that clients are reminded politely and consistently.
The product allows users to create invoices either by uploading a PDF or using a quick builder. Invoices can be sent through a secure client portal link that requires no login. Automated reminder emails are sent according to a customizable schedule, and they stop immediately once the payment is made. Additionally, an optional Stripe 'Pay Now' link can be added for convenience. All email history, reminders, and payment status can be tracked in one centralized location, making it easy to manage all invoices efficiently.
