Start with the invoice itself
Clear line items, a due date in days rather than 'net 30' and a pay button on the invoice remove most reasons to wait.
Make paying the easy option
Card, bank transfer and Apple Pay on one page means the client pays when they open it, not when they find their banking app.
Let reminders do the chasing
Friendly nudges on day 3, 7 and 14 keep the invoice on top of the pile without you writing a word.
