If their instructions state they don’t require an invoice, I don’t send one. I do, however, generate one for my bookkeeping purposes. And, I do keep all correspondence with them regarding the file until the invoice is paid – just in case a question comes up.
Yes, I do this too. Correspondence came in super handy while I was trying to get paid by Cloud Signings. They changed their terms, but b/c I downloaded the terms that applied to me, I was able to provide proof and finally got paid.
Depends on situation. My frequent flyer customers for yearts that pay on time not large concern. Some Title companies require invoice which I provide with print at the bottom stating payment expected within 30 days or local interest rates will apply. Private signings invoices are paid immediately when signing completed and I don’t add notation at bottom of their invoice. Do you and what works for you.
There are probably no negative consequences for sending one, but I never send an invoice unless they ask for one. If they’re not going to pay, sending an invoice probably won’t help.
Not worried about getting paid just wondering why they say it. First job I did for jot I sent an invoice and got an explanation email why I didn’t need to LOL. Think I’m going with prepare one and send if payment isn’t on time.
