The freelance follow-up problem
Chasing payment is easy to put off when you're the one doing it
You're doing the work and the chasing
There is no accounts team behind you — delivering the project and following up on payment for it both land on the same person.
An invoice gets buried under the next project
You send the invoice, move on to the next client, and the follow-up quietly slips until you notice the money still has not arrived.
Repeating yourself feels awkward
Emailing the same client twice about the same invoice can feel like nagging, so it's easy to put off sending the second reminder at all.
A few clients means a few due dates to track
Even three or four open invoices at once is enough due dates and follow-up timing to lose track of between actual client work.
How it works
Set it up once, then get back to client work
- 1
Add your client and the invoice
Client name, email, amount, currency and due date — the same details already on the invoice you sent.
- 2
Review the reminder schedule
See every reminder before it goes anywhere, so you know exactly what your client will receive and when.
- 3
Let PixelDock Chase send the follow-ups
Reminders go out automatically, on schedule, while you focus on client work instead of your inbox.
- 4
Mark it paid, or pause it
If a client asks for more time, pause reminders for that invoice. Once they pay, mark it paid and the sequence stops immediately.
A quick example
What a typical schedule looks like
Illustrative example, not a real customer — showing how the sequence plays out for one invoice.
A freelance designer sends an invoice with a due date of Friday. They add it to PixelDock Chase and switch automation on. A friendly reminder goes out a few days before the due date, a due-today note on Friday itself, and — if it is still unpaid — reminders continue on schedule, moving from professional to firm. As soon as the client pays and the designer marks the invoice paid, every remaining reminder stops immediately.

What actually goes out, and when
This is the default sequence every invoice follows. Shown here as an example — your own schedule works the same way.

Staying professional
Consistent follow-up, without it feeling personal
Freelancers often want to follow up without it feeling like they are nagging a client they still work with. PixelDock Chase sends the same measured, professional reminders every time — friendly at first, firmer only if the invoice stays unpaid — and you stay in control the whole way: preview any reminder, pause the sequence, or stop it the moment you are paid.
How payment works
PixelDock Chase sends the reminders. You still get paid the way you already do.
PixelDock Chase never handles the money. Your client pays you directly, using whatever method you already invoice them with. PixelDock Chase does not collect payments, does not hold funds, and does not chase on your behalf in any way beyond sending the reminder emails themselves.
Who this is for
Built for independent professionals who invoice clients directly
Freelance designers, developers, writers, marketers and consultants — anyone working independently who sends invoices to clients and needs a reliable way to follow up on the ones that go unpaid, without a finance team to do it for them.
FAQ
Questions freelancers ask before starting
- How do invoice reminders help freelancers specifically?
- As a freelancer, you're usually the one who has to remember to follow up, on top of the actual client work. PixelDock Chase handles the reminder timing for you, so an invoice does not go unpaid just because you were busy.
- Will PixelDock Chase collect money from my client?
- No. PixelDock Chase only sends the reminder emails. Your client still pays you directly, the same way they already do — PixelDock Chase never touches the payment.
- Can I stop reminders after my client pays?
- Yes. Marking the invoice paid stops every remaining reminder for it right away.
- Can I pause reminders if a client asks for more time?
- Yes. Pause automation on that invoice and nothing more will send until you resume it — useful when you've agreed a new payment date directly with the client.
- Do I need accounting software to use PixelDock Chase?
- No. PixelDock Chase does not do bookkeeping, ledgers or taxes. It only follows up on invoices you enter — you keep using whatever you already use to send invoices.
