Managing invoices just got easier! We’re excited to announce the release of Automated Email Reminders for Invoices, now live for Commerce merchants. This feature empowers you to set up email reminders for customers with unpaid invoices, ensuring timely payments and reducing the need for manual follow-ups.

What Is It?
Automated email reminders allow Commerce merchants to send scheduled email nudges to customers with outstanding invoices. These reminders can be sent:

Before the due date
On the due date
After the due date

This feature is available to users connected to HubSpot Payments or Stripe.

Why Does It Matter?
For merchants relying on HubSpot invoices, manually tracking overdue payments and sending follow-ups can be time-consuming and frustrating. With automated reminders:

Save time: Eliminate manual follow-ups.
Ensure timely payments: Keep customers on track with payment deadlines.
