Chasing down payments should be a thing of the past. Valuable time that you need to focus on your business is wasted by tracking down customers. Now is the time to set up an automated dunning and reminders process! Between the stress of hounding a customer and the relief of having a system in place that consistently gets the job done, you’ll be feeling much better.

“Approximately 5% of recurring payments per month will not be collected.”

The Case For Automated Dunning s a quick read on the highlights of having an automated workflow. It explains a few reasons why customer bills go unpaid and how automating it can make immediate improvements.

“There are other ways to encourage customers to pay promptly as well. For some businesses, late fees may help encourage customers to take action. Use ChargeOver to automatically assess late fees based on a flat dollar amount, or percentage of the invoice — Late Fees for Overdue / Late Invoices. If you need to give a customer a few extra days, you can always exclude them from late fees — Exclude a specific customer from late fees

Another article called Minimize missed payments with dunning and reminders dives into the ways ChargeOver can specifically improve your workflow and have the flexibility you need to serve your customers.
