How to write invoice payment terms

Clear payment terms prevent disputes and set expectations upfront.

Payment terms are the contract language on your invoice. Vague terms invite late payment and awkward conversations.

Strong terms specify when payment is due, what happens if it is late, and exactly how to pay.

Step by step

Choose a due date policy

Due on receipt, Net 15, Net 30 — match industry norms.

Specify accepted methods

Card, PayPal, ACH, check — list what you accept.

Define late fees

Percentage or flat fee after X days overdue, where legal.

Note deposit requirements

If applicable, reference deposit already paid and balance due.

Add dispute window

e.g. "Questions within 5 business days of receipt."

What does Net 30 mean?

Payment is due 30 days after the invoice date.

Can I save default terms?

Yes. Set default terms in InvoyFlow settings for every new invoice.
