A customer says they didn't get their invoice

Check the invoice was sent, to the right address, and send it again.

Before you start

Why it happens: the invoice is still a draft, it was issued but not sent, the email address is wrong, or the email went to junk.

  1. In Money, open Invoices and find the invoice. If it says Draft, it hasn't gone. Issue it, then choose Send invoice.
  2. Issuing doesn't email the customer by itself. Invoices made automatically after each visit are emailed when Email each invoice to the customer with a link to pay is on in Settings, Invoicing (from 8am). An invoice you issue yourself is only sent when you choose Send invoice.
  3. Open the customer and check their email address. If their page says Emails aren’t arriving, correct the address and choose Start emailing again.
  4. Choose Send invoice again.
  5. Ask them to check their junk or spam folder.

What happens next

The customer gets an email with a View and pay button. They can also see every invoice in their customer portal. You can also choose Download PDF and send it yourself.

If something goes wrong

  • “This customer has no email address.”: add one on the customer's page, then send again.
  • “Emails can't be sent right now.”: try again later.
  • “Issue the invoice first. Drafts don't have a PDF.”: issue it, then download it.
